• Old electric to heat pump hot water installation: $350–$700 per year • Gas to heat pump vs solar hot water: $250–$600 per year • Gas to solar hot water installation: $200–$500 per year • Old electric to modern electric hot water installation with solar: $150–$400 per year

Hot Water Rebates, Tariffs & Savings

More locals are now weighing up heat pump vs solar hot water and even solar hot water vs electric hot water as old systems reach the end of their life.

Typical savings from an efficient hot water upgrade are often in the hundreds of dollars per year, especially when switching from electric hot water vs gas hot water to a modern all‑electric setup.
