In 2770, separate houses dominate, and three‑ and four‑bedroom homes are common, so hot water demand is steady all year. That makes system choice important. A well‑sized solar hot water system or heat pump can cover the bulk of showers, laundry and dishes, while a modern electric hot water system paired with solar can still be an energy efficient hot water system. Brands like Rheem heat pump hot water and Rheem solar hot water are popular for reliability, while Sanden heat pump units are known as some of the best heat pump hot water system options in Australia. Rinnai solar hot water and Chromagen solar hot water also have a presence locally, giving homeowners a good spread of choices when comparing heat pump vs solar hot water or solar hot water vs electric hot water.
Typical bill savings will vary, but many Lethbridge Park households see:
• Old electric to heat pump hot water installation: around $350–$700 a year off bills. • Gas to heat pump hot water: roughly $250–$600 a year saved. • Gas to solar hot water installation: often $250–$550 a year in reductions. • Old electric to new electric hot water installation with solar: around $200–$500 a year, depending on how much solar you self‑consume.
