Hot water systems in Kendall

Across Kendall and the 2439 district, more locals are rethinking their hot water system as power prices creep up and many households move away from bottled gas. With an average household size of 2.4 people and a big share of homes owned outright or with a mortgage, an efficient heat pump hot water system, solar hot water system or modern electric hot water system is a practical way to slash running costs without sacrificing comfort.

Kendall is well suited to efficient hot water. The local weather station records mean daily solar exposure of about 16.9 MJ/m², which is roughly 4.7 kWh/m² of sun each day over the year. That steady sunlight helps a solar hot water heating system or a quality heat pump hot water installation perform consistently, even through cooler months. For many older residents and families on a median household income of around $1,242 a week, upgrading from an ageing gas or resistive electric unit can deliver strong Annual Hot Water Energy Savings and ease bill pressure.

In a postcode with around 1,566 occupied dwellings, hot water demand adds up quickly. A typical family might see hot water using a quarter or more of their electricity, so choosing the most efficient hot water system you can afford makes sense. Many homes are comparing heat pump vs solar hot water, or looking at solar hot water vs electric hot water paired with rooftop solar. Brands like Rheem heat pump hot water and Sanden heat pump units are popular for low running costs, while Rheem solar hot water and Rinnai solar hot water are common choices when people want to make the most of their roof. Chromagen solar hot water also appears in the mix for households chasing value and solid performance.

When you look at hot water system price and ongoing bills, the numbers are compelling. While a heat pump hot water price or solar hot water price can be higher upfront than a basic electric hot water system, the ongoing savings often win over time. A good installer will size your solar hot water tank replacement or heat pump to match your household size and habits so you get reliable, energy efficient hot water system performance without paying for capacity you do not need. For many all‑electric homes with solar, a modern electric hot water installation on a timer or diverter can still be one of the most efficient hot water system options.

Kendall has already seen 453 efficient hot water systems installed, combining heat pump and solar hot water installation jobs across the postcode. Installations climbed noticeably around 2008–2010, with a peak of 56 systems in 2009 as rebates and early adopters kicked in. There was another strong year in 2016 with 42 installs, and steady numbers through to 2020 before easing back more recently. This long trend shows growing local interest in electrification, hot water repair and replacement, and lower running costs, especially as more homes add solar and look for the best hot water system Australia can offer for regional conditions.

For a rough guide to savings in Kendall, many households see average annual bill reductions like:

• Old electric to heat pump hot water system: about $350–$700 per year • Gas to heat pump hot water: about $250–$600 per year • Gas to solar hot water system: about $200–$550 per year • Old electric to modern electric hot water with solar: about $200–$500 per year

These ranges depend on tariffs, usage and whether you use timers or solar‑diversion to run the system when your panels are generating.
