There’s no denying that I love beautiful things, so when it came to selecting the appliances for the Brick House Reno, there was no doubt in our minds that we’d go with Haier.
We have Haier appliances throughout our own home, and we continue to come back to them because they seamlessly integrate into your design, look great, are affordable, and the functionality is truly amazing. For us, it’s about finding that sweet spot between good design, practicality, and affordability.
A big part of this renovation was taking a tired 1980s brick house and bringing it into the future by moving away from gas and making the home all-electric. From the appliances to the heating and cooling, we wanted to make thoughtful choices that would make everyday living more comfortable, efficient and practical for modern family living.
Here’s a closer look at the Haier appliances we chose for the renovation.

Laundry

From constant loads of washing to rotating school uniforms and towels, the appliances needed to be practical, reliable, and easy to use.

Heating & Cooling
We replaced the old split system with a 7.1kW Haier 600 Series Q, sized to heat and cool both lounge areas, along with the open-plan kitchen and dining space. It’s worth having your home assessed by a professional before choosing a system, as the right size will depend on factors like room layout, ceiling height, insulation, and window placement. Getting the sizing right helps ensure efficient heating and cooling throughout the spaces you use most.

Hot Water
As part of taking this 1980s brick house all-electric, replacing the old gas hot water system with a Haier heat pump was an important step in future-proofing the home. It’s a more energy-efficient way to heat water, helping reduce electricity use while setting the next family up with a home that’s better suited to an all-electric future.

For us, a well-designed home is about more than how it looks. It’s about choosing products that work hard behind the scenes, make everyday life easier and fit within a realistic budget. These Haier appliances tick all three boxes for the Brick House Reno.
