Hot water systems in Kempton
Across Kempton and the wider 2583 area, more households are swapping old gas and electric units for an energy efficient hot water system that actually keeps bills down. With a median household income around $1,267 a week and many people on fixed or part‑time incomes, hot water costs matter. Most dwellings here are separate houses, often with 2–3 bedrooms and an average household size of 2.3 people, so a correctly sized hot water system is crucial for comfort and savings.
Kempton’s strong solar exposure – averaging about 20.6 MJ/m² per day, or roughly 5.7 kWh/m² of sunshine – makes both a solar hot water system and a heat pump hot water system very attractive. That sunlight drives roof‑mounted collectors or helps a heat pump work more efficiently, turning free ambient energy into reliable hot water. For many locals, upgrading from older gas or resistive electric hot water to a modern energy efficient hot water system is the logical next step, with the potential for substantial annual hot water energy savings.
In 2583 there are 1,855 occupied private dwellings, with more than half either owned outright or with a mortgage. That high level of home ownership means plenty of households are thinking long‑term about running costs and resale value. Many are comparing heat pump vs solar hot water, or even solar hot water vs electric hot water, to find the most efficient hot water system for their situation. Modern brands like Rheem, Rinnai, Sanden and Thermann are common choices locally, with options ranging from a simple electric hot water system through to a premium sanden heat pump or a roof‑mounted chromagen solar hot water style setup.
Typical upgrade scenarios in Kempton include replacing a tired gas unit with a rheem heat pump hot water system, installing a rheem solar hot water or rinnai solar hot water package on a sunny roof, or switching to a better‑insulated electric hot water system paired with rooftop solar. For many homes, the hot water system price or heat pump hot water price is offset by lower bills over time. To give you a feel for savings, here are some realistic annual bill reductions many households can achieve:
• Old electric to heat pump hot water system: save around $350–$700 per year • Gas to heat pump hot water system: save around $250–$600 per year • Gas to solar hot water heating system: save around $250–$550 per year • Old electric to modern electric hot water with solar: save around $200–$500 per year
In Kempton, 98 efficient hot water systems have already been installed, combining heat pump hot water installation and solar hot water installation jobs. Installations peaked around 2009–2010, with 23 systems in 2009 and 12 in 2010, then continued steadily with new systems added every year through to 2025. That steady hot water installation trend shows growing interest in electrification, lower running costs and moving to the best hot water system Australia can offer for regional homes.
As systems age, some homes are now booking hot water repair or solar hot water repair, or planning a solar hot water tank replacement to keep performance high. Others are choosing a full electric hot water installation to go all‑electric and pair with existing rooftop solar.
Hot Water Rebates, Tariffs & Savings
Right across NSW, including Kempton, more people are replacing old gas or electric hot water with a heat pump hot water system, a modern electric hot water system or a solar hot water heating system. Federal incentives like Small‑scale Technology Certificates (STCs) can lower the solar hot water price or heat pump hot water cost at the point of sale. On top of that, a state‑based heat pump hot water rebate or solar hot water rebate, and even an electric hot water system rebate in some programs, can significantly reduce the upfront hot water system price.
