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 Huskisson and the 2540 area, 4,586 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 Huskisson's climate delivering an average of 4.4 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 Huskisson
In Huskisson and across the 2540 postcode, more locals are switching to energy efficient hot water systems to keep bills down and comfort up. With an average household size of about 2.3 people and a big share of homes owned outright or with a mortgage, many residents are now looking at their ageing gas or electric hot water system and wondering if it is time for a smarter upgrade. With mean solar exposure of around 15.8 MJ/m² a day (about 4.4 kWh/m²), the Jervis Bay climate is ideal for a solar hot water system or a high performance heat pump hot water system that uses the coastal sun and mild temperatures to do most of the work.
Around Huskisson, separate houses dominate the 25,40 postcode, with more than 18,000 occupied private dwellings and a relatively older population (median age 49). That means plenty of three and four bedroom homes with steady hot water demand, and many families and retirees who stand to benefit from lower running costs. Upgrading from older gas or resistive electric units to a modern heat pump hot water system, solar hot water heating system or efficient electric hot water system can cut annual hot water energy use dramatically, often delivering some of the biggest energy savings available in the home.
Across 2540 there have already been 4,586 efficient hot water installations, combining heat pump hot water installation and solar hot water installation. Install numbers jumped sharply around 2008–2010, with a peak of 1,176 systems in 2009 as early rebates kicked in, and there has been a steady stream of new hot water installation work each year since. This long track record shows growing local interest in electrification, moving away from gas, and choosing the most efficient hot water system possible to keep long term running costs down.
In practical terms, many Huskisson homes are weighing up heat pump vs solar hot water, or solar hot water vs electric hot water, depending on roof space, budget and whether they already have rooftop solar. Well known brands such as Rheem solar hot water, Rinnai solar hot water and Chromagen solar hot water are common choices for a solar hot water heating system, while premium heat pumps like Sanden heat pump units and Rheem heat pump hot water are popular for coastal, all electric homes. For many, the best hot water system Australia can offer is one that pairs an energy efficient hot water system with existing solar, using timers or solar diversion so the tank heats when the sun is shining.
Typical annual bill savings for Huskisson households can look like:
• Replacing an old electric hot water system with a quality heat pump: about $400–$800 per year. • Swapping gas to a heat pump hot water system: around $300–$600 per year. • Swapping gas to a solar hot water system: roughly $250–$500 per year. • Upgrading old electric to a modern electric hot water system running mostly on solar: about $300–$700 per year.
Of course, exact hot water system price or cost will depend on tank size, brand and whether you need a solar hot water tank replacement or a full new install, but rebates help. Federal Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) apply to eligible solar hot water and heat pump systems, effectively acting as an upfront discount. On top of that, NSW hot water rebate programs for efficient heat pump hot water and some electric hot water system rebate offers can further cut the heat pump hot water price or cost and solar hot water price or cost, sometimes trimming 20–40% off the invoice. For many Huskisson homes, that means payback periods of only a few years, especially when combined with solar.
As more residents look for hot water NSW solutions that are cleaner and cheaper, the demand for hot water repair, solar hot water repair, and smart electric hot water installation is also rising.
