Across Loxford and the 2326 postcode, more locals are swapping old gas and electric units for an energy efficient hot water system. With most of the 2,804 occupied dwellings being separate houses and an average household size of 2.7 people, hot water is a big slice of the power bill. Median household income sits around $1,373 a week, so finding ways to cut running costs without sacrificing comfort just makes sense.

The good news is Loxford is well suited to efficient hot water upgrades. Nearby Kurri Kurri Golf Club records an average annual solar exposure of about 16.3 MJ/m² a day, which is roughly 4.5–4.6 kWh/m² of sunshine daily. That strong solar resource helps a solar hot water system or heat pump hot water system perform really well, especially if you already have rooftop solar.

In the 2326 area, families and retirees make up a large share of the community, and hot water demand is steady year‑round. A modern heat pump hot water system or solar hot water heating system can be the most efficient hot water system for many Loxford homes, while a well‑sized electric hot water system paired with solar can also work brilliantly. When you compare heat pump vs solar hot water, both can dramatically cut running costs compared with older electric hot water vs gas hot water setups.

Typical annual bill savings in Loxford look like this:

• Old electric to heat pump hot water installation: save roughly $350–$700 a year. • Gas to heat pump hot water system: save around $250–$600 a year. • Gas to solar hot water installation: save about $200–$550 a year. • Old electric to modern electric hot water installation with rooftop solar: save roughly $250–$500 a year.

Hot Water Rebates, Tariffs & Savings

Right now there is growing interest in Loxford NSW in replacing old gas or electric hot water with efficient options like a heat pump hot water system, modern electric hot water system or solar hot water system. Federal incentives such as Small‑scale Technology Certificates (STCs) apply to eligible heat pump and solar hot water installation projects, effectively acting as an upfront discount.

That is where solar hot water vs electric hot water, or heat pump vs solar hot water, becomes a practical question about your roof space, budget and how you use hot water.
