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 Evans Plains 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 Evans Plains'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 Evans Plains
Across Evans Plains and the wider 2795 area, more households are rethinking their hot water system and moving away from old gas and power‑hungry electric units. With an average household size of around 2.5 people and more than 11,000 families in the postcode, hot water demand is constant – and so are energy bills. That makes upgrading to an energy efficient hot water system, like a heat pump hot water system, solar hot water system or modern electric hot water system, a smart next step.
The climate around Evans Plains is ideal for efficient hot water. Bathurst’s long‑term solar data shows mean daily solar exposure of about 17.7 MJ/m², which is roughly 4.9 kWh/m² per day. That is plenty of free sunshine to drive a solar hot water heating system or support a heat pump hot water system running on cheap daytime solar power. With more than 14,000 separate houses in the postcode and solid median household incomes, many owner‑occupiers are now looking at hot water installation options that cut running costs for the long term.
In 2795, hot water can be one of the biggest loads on a home’s energy use, especially for families with teens or larger four‑bedroom homes. Swapping an old electric hot water system or ageing gas storage unit for the most efficient hot water system you can afford can trim a big chunk off your bills every year. Many Evans Plains homes already have rooftop solar, so choosing solar hot water vs electric hot water on a standard tariff, or even using a Sanden heat pump or Rheem heat pump hot water system on a timer, can make a noticeable difference.
Typical annual bill savings for Evans Plains homes can look like this:
• Old electric to heat pump hot water installation: save roughly $350–$700 per year. • Gas storage to heat pump: save around $250–$600 per year. • Gas to solar hot water installation (boosted): save about $300–$650 per year. • Old electric to modern electric hot water installation paired with rooftop solar: save roughly $200–$500 per year.
Brands like Rheem solar hot water, Rinnai solar hot water, Chromagen solar hot water and premium options such as a Sanden heat pump are all seen locally, giving Evans Plains homeowners a good mix of price points and performance levels. Many people research the best hot water system Australia wide, or the best heat pump hot water system, then narrow it down based on hot water system price, warranty and how it will work with their solar.
Efficient hot water has been growing steadily in the postcode. There have already been 707 efficient hot water installations – a mix of heat pump and solar hot water repair and replacements as well as new systems. Install numbers climbed through the 2000s, peaking around 2008–2010 with more than 300 systems installed across those three years alone, then settling into a steady stream of upgrades right through to 2025. This trend shows a clear, ongoing interest in electrification, lower running costs and energy efficient hot water system options in Evans Plains, even as technology and rebates evolve.
Hot Water Rebates, Tariffs & Savings
All of this interest in hot water NSW upgrades is being helped along by rebates. For Evans Plains homeowners, Australian Government Small‑scale Technology Certificates (STCs) apply to eligible solar hot water systems and heat pump hot water systems, effectively acting as an upfront discount on the solar hot water price or heat pump hot water price. On top of that, the NSW hot water rebate landscape includes state‑based incentives that can support heat pump hot water rebate offers or solar hot water rebate schemes from time to time, and there are also electric hot water system rebate options in some programs when replacing old, inefficient units.
These hot water rebate NSW incentives can take a substantial percentage off the installed hot water system cost, especially when combined with retailer discounts. For many Evans Plains homes, that means payback periods can shrink to just a few years, especially when a new system is paired with rooftop solar and smart controls. Using timers or solar‑diversion to run a heat pump through the middle of the day, or to favour your electric hot water vs gas hot water, can further increase savings and make your solar hot water vs electric hot water comparison even more compelling.
If your current system is more than 10 years old, running out of hot water or needing regular hot water repair, it is worth checking whether a hot water upgrade could pay for itself. Whether you are comparing heat pump vs solar hot water, looking at a simple solar hot water tank replacement, or planning a full electric hot water installation for an all‑electric home, Evans Plains has great potential for lower bills and lower emissions.
