Caloola’s climate helps too. The nearby Newbridge weather station records mean daily solar exposure of about 16.6 MJ/m², which works out to roughly 4.6 kWh of solar energy per square metre per day. That strong sunlight supports both heat pump hot water performance and a solar hot water heating system, especially when paired with existing rooftop solar.

Around Caloola, we see a mix of families, retirees and working couples, and hot water demand reflects that. A typical 2–4 bedroom home will often benefit from a 250–315 litre heat pump hot water system or a comparable solar hot water tank replacement. Efficient hot water can account for a sizeable chunk of household energy use, so choosing an energy efficient hot water system makes a real dent in overall consumption. Local installers regularly work with trusted brands such as Rheem heat pump hot water units, Sanden heat pump models for ultra low running costs, and solar options from Rinnai solar hot water and Chromagen solar hot water, helping match the best heat pump hot water system or solar hot water system to each home and budget.
For many households, the key question is heat pump vs solar hot water, or even solar hot water vs electric hot water. A quality heat pump hot water installation can work brilliantly in Caloola’s cooler winters, pulling heat from the air even on frosty mornings. A solar hot water installation, using a roof mounted solar hot water heating system and ground tank, can be ideal on sunnier, more open sites. Where gas is being phased out, an electric hot water installation paired with rooftop solar can still be a very cost effective, low carbon option, especially when you take advantage of an electric hot water system rebate and smart timers to run mainly on solar.
To give you a feel for savings, here are some typical annual bill reductions for Caloola households (actual results depend on tariffs, usage and system sizing):
• Replacing an old electric hot water system with a quality heat pump hot water system: save around $400–$800 per year. • Switching from gas to a heat pump hot water system: save roughly $300–$700 per year. • Going from gas to a solar hot water system: save about $250–$600 per year. • Upgrading an old electric unit to a modern electric hot water system run mostly on rooftop solar: save around $300–$700 per year.
