Swapping an old storage unit for the most efficient hot water system you can reasonably afford can trim overall household energy use noticeably. Locally, we see strong interest in heat pump vs solar hot water comparisons, especially from families looking to future‑proof an all‑electric home and reduce exposure to gas prices. Brands like Rheem heat pump hot water, Sanden heat pump units, and solar ranges such as Rheem solar hot water or Rinnai solar hot water are common options, along with Chromagen solar hot water in some rural installs.
Typical annual bill savings in Countegany look like: • Old electric to heat pump hot water installation: around $350–$700 per year • Gas to heat pump hot water system: around $250–$600 per year • Gas to solar hot water installation: around $300–$650 per year • Old electric to modern electric hot water installation with good rooftop solar: around $250–$500 per year
