UPDATE: Cyanergy/Smart Lifestyle in Liquidation
As per the ASIC notice, Cyanergy has entered liquidation as of the 16th March 2026. Cyanergy is the parent company of the Smart Lifestyle Batteries and Heat Pumps. We advise customers to treat this brand with caution.
At a Glance: Smart Lifestyle Heat Pump Scores 2.25 out of 5
Scoring is based on our heat pump scorecard which is consistently applied to each brand and model available in the Australian market.
$ Price: The SLA-R18-190D model is priced under $2,500, placing it in the Lowest Cost category.
- 2/5 – Company Backing and Trustworthiness: Smart Lifestyle is a newer brand launched in 2021 and is part of Cyanergy, a broader energy solutions provider. While it has a physical presence in Australia, its limited operating history and smaller team impact its score.
- 3/5 – Warranty Offer: Offers 7 years on the cylinder, 5 years on the compressor, and 2 years on workmanship. A fair offering, but slightly below the market’s best warranties.
- 3/5 – Customer Reviews: The brand has received a 4.22-star average rating across 9 reviews. While most customers are satisfied, the inclusion of a 1-star review citing service issues has brought the average down.
- 1/5 – Functionality: Based on available specifications. Smart Lifestyle units include a built-in controller with timer scheduling capability but do not offer WiFi or app connectivity. They also do not meet other key Solar Choice functionality benchmarks such as quiet operation (<45 dBA) or at least 10 watts of heating power per litre.
Solar Choice Score: 2.25 out of 5
Customers are encouraged to conduct independent research and seek multiple quotes before making a decision.

Review left 10 years after system installed
Bad service , hot water unit not work properly, control freeze alot of time, call them it seems no help and ask me to pay for the call out fee even just 2 weeks installed.
Looks majestic but does work exceptionally good. Very quite and quite efficent when reviewing the electricity consumption.
Smart Lifestyle Australia - SLA-R25-300D/N4D4 has been working well and as supposed for a month now. Very easy to understand how to use its programmer function, it is also sufficiently silent when working. We went with this brand after comparing specs and warranty offered. Hopefully it will go on like this for many years.
Heat pump replaced our old gas unit. This one is very efficient
Yes, totally happy with SLA 300L. It's really easy to control and user friendly.
