Hot water systems in Frog Rock

With an average household size of around 2.5 people and more than 7,000 dwellings across the postcode, reliable, affordable hot water is a big part of everyday life. Power prices keep rising, so switching to a modern heat pump hot water system, solar hot water system or efficient electric hot water system is a logical next step for many families.
Frog Rock is well suited to efficient hot water technology. The local solar exposure averages about 18.1 MJ/m² per day – roughly 5 kWh/m² of sun – which is excellent for both a solar hot water heating system and for running a heat pump hot water system efficiently. With a solid base of homes owned outright or with a mortgage, many households are in a good position to invest in upgrades that can deliver substantial hot water energy savings every year.
Across 2850, there have already been 653 efficient hot water installations, combining heat pump and solar hot water installation projects. Install numbers really took off around 2008–2011, peaking in 2009, and while recent years have been quieter, interest in electrification and lower running costs is growing again as people look to future‑proof their homes. Locals are increasingly comparing heat pump vs solar hot water, weighing up solar hot water vs electric hot water, and asking which is the best hot water system Australia can offer for their style of home.
For a typical Frog Rock family home, hot water can be one of the biggest energy users. Upgrading from an older gas or electric hot water system to a more energy efficient hot water system can make a real dent in bills. Popular brands in the area include Rheem and Rinnai for solar hot water installation and solar hot water tank replacement, along with Sanden and Stiebel‑style systems for premium heat pump hot water installation. Many households also look at Chromagen‑type solar hot water systems when they already have rooftop solar.
Typical annual savings in Frog Rock look like this:
• Old electric to heat pump hot water system: save roughly $400–$800 per year • Gas to heat pump hot water system: save roughly $300–$600 per year • Gas to solar hot water system: save roughly $250–$550 per year • Old electric to modern electric hot water installation with good solar: save roughly $250–$500 per year
Of course, actual hot water system price or cost depends on the size of the system, brand, and whether any switchboard or plumbing upgrades are needed. Heat pump hot water price or cost is usually higher upfront than a basic electric hot water installation, but the running costs are much lower. A quality solar hot water price or cost will sit somewhere between, especially if you choose a well‑known brand like Rheem solar hot water, Rinnai solar hot water or Chromagen solar hot water.
