Hot water systems in Mirannie
Across Mirannie and the wider 2330 area, more households are rethinking their old gas and electric hot water system and switching to efficient options like a heat pump hot water system, solar hot water system or modern electric hot water system. With an average household size of around 2.6 people and more than 7,600 dwellings in the postcode, hot water is a big slice of local energy use – and a prime place to save.
Mirannie’s strong sunshine makes upgrades especially attractive. The local weather station records mean daily solar exposure of about 16.5 MJ/m², which is roughly 4.6 kWh/m² per day, ideal for a solar hot water heating system or a high-performance heat pump hot water installation. With many homes owned outright or with a mortgage, and median household incomes that can support smart upgrades, replacing an ageing gas or electric unit is a logical next step. Households here can often shave hundreds of dollars off annual bills by moving to the most efficient hot water system for their needs, while cutting emissions and future-proofing against rising gas prices.
In the 2330 postcode, larger three- and four-bedroom homes dominate, which means higher hot water demand and a real opportunity for energy efficient hot water system choices. Many families are comparing heat pump vs solar hot water, or looking at solar hot water vs electric hot water, to find the best hot water system Australia can offer for their situation. Popular brands in the area include Rheem solar hot water and Rheem heat pump hot water for all-round reliability, Sanden heat pump units for ultra-efficient performance, and Rinnai solar hot water systems. Chromagen solar hot water also appears where roof space and solar exposure are ideal.
When you look at hot water system price or cost, it is important to weigh running costs as well as upfront outlay. Typical annual bill savings in Mirannie look like this:
• Old electric to heat pump hot water system: around $350–$700 per year • Gas to heat pump hot water: roughly $250–$600 per year • Gas to solar hot water system: about $200–$550 per year • Old electric to modern electric hot water installation backed by rooftop solar: around $250–$500 per year
These ranges depend on household size, tariffs and how efficiently the system is set up, but they show how quickly a heat pump hot water price or cost, or a solar hot water price or cost, can pay back.
Efficient hot water is not new to Mirannie. There have already been 1,261 efficient hot water installations (heat pump and solar hot water installation combined) recorded in the 2330 postcode. Installations climbed sharply from just a handful in the early 2000s to peaks between 2009 and 2011, when more than 500 systems went in over three years.
