With many households already generating their own clean solar power, many are now looking at how they can make their entire home energy system more efficient, with hot water heating often the logical next step.
With hot water roughly accounting for a quarter of the average home's energy use, switching to an energy-efficient hot water system is one of the biggest opportunities for savings. Across Crudine and the 2795 area, 707 homeowners have already switched from older electric storage and gas hot water systems to solar hot water or air-source heat pump systems that draw on clean, renewable power while also claiming the hot water rebates to reduce their hot water heater system cost. These highly-efficient systems not only help cut energy bills but also reduce carbon emissions and improve overall energy independence.
With Crudine's climate delivering an average of 4.9 kWh/m² per day, conditions are ideal for hot water systems and hybrid heat pump systems that harness both sunlight and ambient air temperature to heat water efficiently all year round. When paired with existing rooftop solar power or solar batteries, the result is hot water that costs far less to run and is powered by clean, self-generated energy.

Hot water systems in Crudine
Across Crudine and the wider 2795 region, more homes are shifting from old gas and power‑hungry units to modern, energy efficient hot water systems. With an average household size of around 2.5 people and more than 11,000 families in the postcode, reliable hot water is non‑negotiable – but so is keeping running costs under control. As energy prices climb, upgrading to a heat pump hot water system, solar hot water system or efficient electric hot water system is becoming the logical next step for many households.
Crudine is well placed for efficient hot water upgrades. The local climate enjoys strong sunshine, with mean daily solar exposure of about 17.5 MJ/m² – roughly 4.9 kWh/m² per day across the year. That level of solar makes a solar hot water heating system or a quality heat pump hot water system a smart match, particularly for owner‑occupiers (over 11,000 dwellings are owned outright or with a mortgage) who are planning to stay put and want long‑term savings. Replacing older gas or resistive electric units can cut annual hot water energy use dramatically, which is why annual hot water energy savings in Crudine are becoming a real focus for budget‑conscious families.
In the 2795 postcode there are more than 16,000 occupied private dwellings, many of them three‑ and four‑bedroom homes with higher hot water demand. Hot water typically makes up a big share of overall household energy use, so choosing the most efficient hot water system can have a noticeable impact on bills. Brands like Rheem heat pump hot water units and Sanden heat pump systems are popular for low‑running‑cost upgrades, while Rheem solar hot water, Rinnai solar hot water and Chromagen solar hot water systems are common choices for roof‑mounted solar hot water installation or solar hot water tank replacement. For some homes, a modern electric hot water installation paired with rooftop solar is still a strong option.
Typical annual bill savings in Crudine for a well‑designed hot water installation look like:
• Old electric to heat pump hot water system: $350–$700 per year • Gas to heat pump hot water system: $250–$600 per year • Gas to solar hot water system: $200–$550 per year • Old electric to modern electric hot water system with solar: $200–$500 per year
Local data shows 707 efficient hot water systems – mainly heat pump and solar hot water – have been installed in the postcode to date. Installations climbed sharply between 2008 and 2010, peaking at 125 systems in 2009 and 113 in 2010, as early solar hot water rebate programs kicked in. While annual numbers have eased since, steady installations through the 2010s and into the 2020s reflect a continuing interest in heat pump vs solar hot water decisions, electrification and lower running costs. Many households are now looking at solar hot water vs electric hot water, or electric hot water vs gas hot water, to decide the best hot water system Australia can offer for their budget and lifestyle.
Hot Water Rebates, Tariffs & Savings
For Crudine homeowners, the numbers stack up even better once rebates and incentives are added. Federal Small‑scale Technology Certificates (STCs) reduce the upfront solar hot water price / cost and heat pump hot water price / cost, while NSW hot water rebate programs can further cut the cost of a qualifying heat pump hot water installation or solar hot water installation. In some cases, combined discounts can effectively reduce system cost by 30–50%, bringing premium options like Sanden heat pump systems or high‑efficiency Rheem solar hot water within reach. There are also electric hot water system rebate offers in some schemes when replacing old, inefficient units. With typical savings of hundreds of dollars per year, payback periods can be significantly shortened, especially if you use timers or solar diversion to run your energy efficient hot water system when your rooftop solar is generating. For many households, the real question is not whether to upgrade, but which option gives the best balance of hot water system price / cost, efficiency and comfort.
If you live in Crudine and your current unit is ageing, noisy or struggling to keep up, now is a good time to check whether your home is ready for a hot water upgrade. Whether you are moving away from gas to an all‑electric home, comparing heat pump vs solar hot water, or weighing solar hot water vs electric hot water, experienced local installers can help you choose the most efficient hot water system for your needs.
