Hot water systems in Eurongilly
Across Eurongilly and the wider 2663 area, more households are rethinking their old gas and electric hot water system and switching to smarter, energy efficient options. With an average household size of around 2.4 people and more than 1,600 occupied dwellings, reliable hot water is non‑negotiable – but so is keeping power bills under control. For many families paying a median mortgage of about $1,250 a month, upgrading to a modern heat pump hot water system, solar hot water system or efficient electric hot water system is a practical way to lock in long‑term savings.
Eurongilly is well placed for efficient hot water. The local climate data shows mean daily solar exposure of about 17.8 MJ/m² – roughly 5 kWh/m² per day – which is strong support for both a solar hot water heating system and high‑performance heat pumps. That level of sunshine, combined with a solid base of owner‑occupied homes (over 1,100 dwellings owned outright or with a mortgage), makes technologies like Rheem solar hot water, Rinnai solar hot water and Chromagen solar hot water particularly attractive. Annual hot water energy savings can be substantial when you move from an old resistive cylinder or gas unit to the most efficient hot water system you can reasonably fit and afford.
In the 2663 postcode, demand for hot water runs high thanks to a mix of families and older residents, and hot water use can be one of the biggest single loads on the power bill. Swapping an older gas hot water unit for a heat pump hot water system or solar hot water vs electric hot water can dramatically cut running costs. A quality Sanden heat pump or Rheem heat pump hot water unit, sized correctly, is often regarded among the best heat pump hot water system options in Australia for regional properties, particularly when paired with rooftop solar.
Typical annual bill savings in Eurongilly can look like: • Old electric to heat pump hot water installation: save roughly $400–$800 per year. • Gas to heat pump: save around $300–$700 per year. • Gas to solar hot water installation: save about $250–$600 per year. • Old electric to modern electric hot water installation with solar: save roughly $200–$500 per year.
Recent installation trends back this up. There have already been 76 efficient hot water systems installed in the Eurongilly postcode, combining heat pump and solar hot water installation jobs. Installations spiked around 2008 and 2009, when 26 systems went in over two years, and there has been a steady trickle of upgrades since, including new systems in 2019, 2020 and 2024. This shows ongoing local interest in electrification, lower running costs and moving towards an all‑electric home. As more households add solar, pairing it with an energy efficient hot water system becomes an obvious next step.
When you are weighing up heat pump vs solar hot water, or even solar hot water vs electric hot water, it is worth comparing not just the hot water system price or cost, but also the long‑term savings and available incentives. Federal Small‑scale Technology Certificates (STCs) apply to eligible heat pump and solar hot water systems, effectively working like an upfront discount off the solar hot water price or cost and heat pump hot water price or cost. On top of that, NSW hot water rebate programs and specific heat pump hot water rebate or solar hot water rebate offers can further reduce what you pay on day one. In some cases, discounts and hot water rebate NSW schemes can knock a sizeable percentage off the installed cost, especially when combined with an electric hot water system rebate.
For Eurongilly households, typical savings from a well‑designed hot water upgrade can reach hundreds of dollars per year, with payback periods shortened when you run your heat pump during the middle of the day or use solar diversion controls. Timers and smart controls help your energy efficient hot water system soak up excess rooftop solar, turning your tank into a thermal battery. That is how many locals are transforming a basic electric hot water vs gas hot water decision into a broader plan to reduce bills and emissions.
If your current unit is leaking, more than 10 years old, or you are facing a solar hot water tank replacement, it is a good time to review your options.
