Smart Power Tech heat pump hot water: don't buy one.
The Federal Court wound up Smart Power Tech Pty Ltd (ACN 669 711 175) and appointed a liquidator on 14 April 2026, after a creditor's application in March. Its website is offline. Warranty claims now go to the liquidator, Jirsch Sutherland, and are unlikely to be honoured in the usual way.

Our verdict
Is a Smart Power Tech heat pump right for you?
Don't buy a new SPT heat pump. The company was wound up by the Federal Court in April 2026, so there's no manufacturer left to honour the 7-year tank warranty. If you already own one, keep your paperwork and register any claim with the liquidator.
A good fit if
- You already own one and want to know where you stand
Maybe look elsewhere if
- You're being offered one now, even at a big discount
