Across 2630 there have already been 128 efficient hot water installations, combining heat pump hot water installation and solar hot water installation. Uptake really jumped between 2008 and 2011, when yearly installations peaked at over 20 systems, and there has been a steady trickle of new systems since. This pattern reflects growing interest in electrification, lower bills and moving away from gas hot water, especially as more homes add rooftop solar.
For a typical Dangelong household, hot water can be one of the biggest energy loads. Many three and four bedroom homes still use older resistive electric or gas units. Upgrading to the most efficient hot water system you can reasonably afford makes a noticeable dent in bills, especially if you already have solar or are planning it.

Typical annual bill savings from a smart hot water installation in Dangelong look like:
• Replacing an old electric hot water system with a quality heat pump hot water system: around $400–$800 per year. • Switching from gas hot water to a heat pump: roughly $300–$600 per year. • Switching from gas to a roof mounted or split solar hot water system: about $250–$500 per year. • Upgrading an old electric unit to a modern, well insulated electric hot water installation run mostly on rooftop solar: around $250–$500 per year.
When comparing heat pump vs solar hot water, both can deliver strong savings. A heat pump hot water system price or cost is often lower upfront than a full solar hot water heating system, and it works well in cold climates. A solar hot water system or solar hot water tank replacement can suit homes with good roof space and strong sun access. Many locals find a heat pump paired with solar PV gives similar or better outcomes than traditional solar hot water vs electric hot water.
In NSW, homeowners in Dangelong can usually access Federal incentives through Small scale Technology Certificates (STCs) for eligible systems, which effectively reduce the solar hot water price or cost and heat pump hot water price or cost at the point of sale.
