Kippaxs households enjoy plenty of sun, with average solar exposure around 16.2 MJ/m² a day – roughly 4.5–5 kWh/m² – which is ideal for both a solar hot water heating system and high‑efficiency heat pump hot water. Most homes here are separate houses (over 3,600 dwellings) with an average household size of 2.4 people, so hot water demand is steady but not extreme.

In the 2429 area, hot water can easily make up a quarter of a home’s energy use, especially in older properties still running a basic electric hot water system or ageing gas unit. That is why we are seeing more interest in the best hot water system Australia can offer for regional homes: quiet, efficient heat pump hot water systems, reliable solar hot water installation paired with rooftop PV, and modern electric hot water installation set up to run on solar. Popular brands in Kippaxs include Rheem heat pump hot water and Rheem solar hot water for dependable performance, Rinnai solar hot water and Chromagen solar hot water for roof‑mounted solar hot water tank replacement, and premium options like the Sanden heat pump for those chasing the most efficient hot water system possible.
Across the postcode, 1,014 efficient hot water systems have already been installed, combining heat pump and solar hot water installation. Installations surged around 2008–2010, with a peak of 208 systems in 2009 and 144 in 2010, driven by early solar hot water rebate programs. While yearly numbers have eased back to single digits more recently, that installed base shows strong local interest in electrification and lower running costs. Many of those earlier systems are now due for hot water repair, upgrades or full solar hot water tank replacement, often to a newer energy efficient hot water system with far lower running costs.
If you are weighing up heat pump vs solar hot water, or even solar hot water vs electric hot water, it helps to look at both running costs and rebates. Typical annual bill savings for Kippaxs homes can look like this:
• Old electric to heat pump hot water system: save about $400–$800 per year. • Gas to heat pump hot water: save roughly $300–$600 per year. • Gas to solar hot water system: save around $250–$550 per year. • Old electric to modern electric hot water with solar: save about $200–$500 per year.
For hot water NSW homeowners, there are several incentives that can bring down the hot water system price or cost. Federal Small‑scale Technology Certificates (STCs) apply to eligible heat pump and solar hot water systems, cutting the effective solar hot water price or cost and heat pump hot water price or cost at the point of sale. On top of that, state heat pump hot water rebate and solar hot water rebate schemes, plus an electric hot water system rebate in some programs, can further reduce the upfront solar hot water price or cost. Combined, these hot water rebate NSW incentives can trim the installed cost by a substantial percentage and shorten payback to just a few years, especially if you also use timers or solar‑diversion so your energy efficient hot water system runs mainly on your own solar.
Many Kippaxs properties still rely on gas, so electric hot water vs gas hot water is a live question.
