The 2792 postcode, covering Mandurama and Burnt Yards and surrounding areas, is home to around 168 households. With many households already generating their own clean solar power, many are now looking at how they can make their entire home energy system more efficient, with hot water heating often the logical next step.
With hot water roughly accounting for a quarter of the average home's energy use, switching to an energy-efficient hot water system is one of the biggest opportunities for savings. Across Mandurama and the 2792 area, 24 homeowners have already switched from older electric storage and gas hot water systems to solar hot water or air-source heat pump systems that draw on clean, renewable power while also claiming the hot water rebates to reduce their hot water heater system cost. These highly-efficient systems not only help cut energy bills but also reduce carbon emissions and improve overall energy independence.
With Mandurama's climate delivering an average of 4.9 kWh/m² per day, conditions are ideal for hot water systems and hybrid heat pump systems that harness both sunlight and ambient air temperature to heat water efficiently all year round.

Hot water systems in Mandurama
In Mandurama, more locals are rethinking their old gas and electric hot water system and shifting to energy‑efficient options like a heat pump hot water system, solar hot water system and modern electric hot water system. With around 156 separate houses and an average household size of 2.3 people, most homes here are owner‑occupied and paying a decent mortgage, so keeping running costs down matters. Many households are families or older couples on a median household income of about $1,481 a week, which makes the annual hot water energy savings from an efficient upgrade very attractive.
Mandurama’s climate is well suited to efficient hot water. The Lyndhurst Old Bakery weather station records an average annual solar exposure of about 17.6 MJ/m² per day – roughly 4.9 kWh/m²/day – which is strong support for both a solar hot water heating system and a high‑quality heat pump hot water system. That level of sunshine helps a solar hot water system pre‑heat your water most of the year, while a heat pump uses the mild daytime air to deliver the most efficient hot water system performance with very low electricity use. For many properties, stepping away from ageing gas units or old resistive electric hot water towards an energy efficient hot water system is the logical next step.
Across the 2792 postcode, hot water demand is driven by mostly three‑ and four‑bedroom homes, so hot water energy use is a big slice of the power bill. Swapping to efficient options like Rheem heat pump hot water, Sanden heat pump units, or roof‑mounted solar brands such as Rheem solar hot water and Rinnai solar hot water can cut usage dramatically. Some homes pair a solar hot water installation with existing rooftop solar, while others choose the best heat pump hot water system they can afford and run it in the middle of the day to soak up cheap solar energy. Either way, the hot water system price or cost is often paid back through lower bills.
Typical annual bill savings in Mandurama look like:
• Old electric to heat pump hot water installation: save roughly $400–$800 per year. • Gas to heat pump vs solar hot water: often $300–$700 per year either way, depending on tariffs and usage. • Gas to solar hot water installation with electric boost: save around $300–$600 per year. • Old electric to modern electric hot water installation timed with solar: save around $200–$400 per year.
In total, around 24 efficient hot water systems have already been installed in Mandurama, mostly heat pump and solar hot water upgrades. Installations ramped up between 2008 and 2011, with peak years like 2009 seeing five installs and steady numbers through 2010 and 2011. While recent years show fewer recorded systems, those earlier projects show clear local interest in electrification, lower running costs and getting away from volatile gas prices. Every new heat pump hot water system or solar hot water repair and upgrade helps cut bills and emissions for hot water NSW households.
When it comes to hot water rebate NSW options, Mandurama homeowners can usually tap into a mix of federal and state incentives. At a national level, eligible heat pump and solar hot water systems can create Small‑scale Technology Certificates (STCs), which work like an upfront discount and can reduce solar hot water price or cost and heat pump hot water price or cost by a substantial percentage. On top of that, state programs often provide a specific heat pump hot water rebate, solar hot water rebate or even an electric hot water system rebate for certain all‑electric upgrades. These incentives can trim hundreds off the upfront hot water system price, shorten payback periods to just a few years, and make options like Rheem solar hot water, Rinnai solar hot water or a Sanden heat pump much more affordable. Add smart controls, timers or solar‑diverter technology and you can push an already energy efficient hot water system even further, especially when comparing solar hot water vs electric hot water or electric hot water vs gas hot water.
If your current unit is leaking, due for a solar hot water tank replacement, or you are simply curious about the best hot water system Australia has to offer, it is a good time to look at hot water installation or hot water repair options locally. Mandurama’s strong solar exposure and growing interest in sustainability mean efficient hot water upgrades can seriously reduce bills, cut emissions and future‑proof your home.
