Upgrading from an older gas or electric hot water system to a modern heat pump or solar hot water heating system can slash hot water energy use by 60–80%, delivering strong Annual Hot Water Energy Savings for local households.
In a postcode with more than 7,000 occupied dwellings and a big share of families and older residents, hot water reliability matters just as much as efficiency. Many homes are still on older gas or resistive electric units, so switching to an energy efficient hot water system is often the logical next step when a tank starts leaking or bills creep up. Brands like Rheem heat pump hot water, Sanden heat pump and Rinnai solar hot water are increasingly common when people look for the best heat pump hot water system or the best hot water system Australia can offer for regional climates.
Around Green Gully, hot water energy use can be one of the biggest single loads in the home. That is why more locals are comparing heat pump vs solar hot water and even solar hot water vs electric hot water to see what will work best with their roof space, budget and electricity tariffs. For some, a well sized heat pump hot water installation running on an off‑peak or solar‑friendly tariff is the most efficient hot water system option. Others prefer a roof‑mounted solar hot water installation with a ground or roof tank from brands such as Chromagen solar hot water or Rheem solar hot water.
Typical hot water system price or cost will vary, but many households are pleasantly surprised once rebates are factored in. Here are realistic average annual bill savings for Green Gully homes:
• Old electric to heat pump hot water system: save roughly $400–$800 per year. • Gas to heat pump hot water: save around $300–$700 per year. • Gas to solar hot water system: save about $250–$600 per year. • Old electric to modern electric hot water system with rooftop solar: save around $250–$500 per year.

Installations really took off between 2008 and 2011, peaking at 169 in 2009 and over 100 systems in both 2010 and 2011. While yearly numbers have been smaller recently, the long‑term trend shows steady interest in electrification, lower running costs and moving away from ageing gas systems.
Hot Water Rebates, Tariffs & Savings
For Green Gully households, hot water nsw incentives make these upgrades far more affordable. The Australian Government’s Small‑scale Technology Certificates (STCs) reduce the upfront solar hot water price or cost and heat pump hot water price or cost, effectively acting like a point‑of‑sale discount. On top of that, state‑based hot water rebate nsw programs can offer a solar hot water rebate, a heat pump hot water rebate or even an electric hot water system rebate in some schemes, especially when replacing old electric or gas units.
When you stack these rebates together, the hot water system price or cost can drop by a substantial percentage, often cutting payback periods to just a few years. Many Green Gully homes then use timers or solar‑diversion controls so their electric hot water installation or heat pump hot water system runs mainly on cheap solar power, pushing savings into the hundreds of dollars each year. With the right setup, your hot water nsw upgrade can genuinely become the most efficient hot water system in your home, not just on paper.
Whether you need hot water installation for a new build, solar hot water tank replacement for a tired old unit, or urgent hot water repair or solar hot water repair, it pays to plan the upgrade properly.
