Most dwellings in 2396 are separate houses with three or four bedrooms, so hot water demand is steady even though families are smaller. That makes choosing the best hot water system Australia offers for your usage pattern important. In Goorianawa, many homes are still on gas or older cylinders, but we are seeing more interest in options like Rheem solar hot water, Rinnai solar hot water and premium heat pumps such as Sanden heat pump units.

When you look at heat pump vs solar hot water, both can work well here. A solar hot water system with roof collectors and a solar hot water tank replacement can slash electricity use on sunny days, while a quality heat pump hot water installation can deliver similar savings without needing as much roof space or perfect north‑facing orientation. For some properties, solar hot water vs electric hot water becomes a question of upfront hot water system price / cost and whether you already have rooftop solar.
In the 2396 postcode there have been 12 efficient hot water installations recorded, combining both heat pump and solar hot water installation jobs. The busiest years were 2010 and 2011, when installations peaked, then tapered off, but interest in electrification and lower running costs is rising again as energy prices climb. Each new hot water installation or hot water repair that replaces an old gas unit with a heat pump or solar hot water heating system helps cut local emissions and bills.
Typical annual savings for Goorianawa households can look like this:
