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 Gowrie and the 2330 area, 1,261 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 Gowrie's climate delivering an average of 4.8 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 Gowrie
Across Gowrie and the wider 2330 area, more households are rethinking their old gas and electric hot water system and switching to energy efficient options. With most homes here being separate houses and an average household size of 2.6 people, hot water demand is steady all year round – which means big savings are possible when you upgrade. Median household incomes are solid, but with mortgages around $1,820 a month and rising energy prices, cutting running costs is a smart move.
Gowrie enjoys strong sunshine, with average solar exposure of about 17.2 MJ/m² a day – roughly 4.8 kWh/m² – which is excellent for both a solar hot water system and a heat pump hot water system. That solar resource helps modern systems deliver big annual hot water energy savings compared with older gas or resistive electric units. Many locals already run rooftop solar, so pairing it with an energy efficient hot water system is a logical next step towards an all electric home.
In a postcode with more than 7,600 occupied dwellings and plenty of families, hot water use makes up a big slice of household energy. Swapping an old electric hot water system for a modern heat pump hot water system or solar hot water heating system can dramatically cut that share. Brands like Rheem heat pump hot water, Sanden heat pump and Rinnai solar hot water are popular choices for efficient upgrades, while systems such as Chromagen solar hot water are often used where roof space and orientation are ideal. For some homes, a modern electric hot water system tied to rooftop solar remains a simple, reliable option.
Typical bill savings in Gowrie look like this:
• Old electric to heat pump hot water installation: save around $450–$900 per year. • Gas to heat pump: save roughly $300–$700 per year. • Gas to solar hot water installation: save about $250–$650 per year. • Old electric to new electric hot water installation with solar: save around $300–$800 per year.
Efficient hot water has already taken off locally. In the 2330 postcode there have been 1,261 efficient hot water installations, combining both heat pump and solar hot water installation projects. Install numbers climbed sharply from just a handful in the early 2000s to peaks around 2009–2011, when more than 150 systems a year were going in. While annual numbers have eased back since, the steady stream of installs through to 2024 and 2025 shows ongoing interest in electrification, lower running costs and the most efficient hot water system options for Gowrie’s climate.
Hot Water Rebates, Tariffs & Savings
Right now, many Gowrie homeowners are weighing up heat pump vs solar hot water, or solar hot water vs electric hot water, as old gas units reach the end of their life. Federal incentives such as Small‑scale Technology Certificates (STCs) apply to eligible heat pump and solar hot water systems, cutting the effective hot water system price by hundreds or even thousands of dollars at the point of sale. On top of that, NSW hot water rebate programs can offer a specific heat pump hot water rebate or solar hot water rebate, and in some cases an electric hot water system rebate when replacing inefficient models.
These rebates reduce upfront heat pump hot water price and solar hot water price enough that payback periods can drop to as little as three to six years, especially when you run the system on daytime solar. Using timers or solar‑diversion controls to heat water when your PV is exporting can turn your system into a truly energy efficient hot water solution, slashing bills by hundreds of dollars a year. For many homes, that makes efficient hot water one of the fastest, lowest‑hassle upgrades available.
If you live in Gowrie and your current unit is ageing, noisy or costly, it is a good time to check whether a hot water upgrade makes sense.
