Uptake really took off around 2009–2011, when installations peaked, and there has been steady interest since. That trend reflects growing awareness of heat pump vs solar hot water options, and a broader push towards electrification and lower running costs in Mowbray Park.
In a family-heavy area like this, hot water demand is constant. Hot water can easily account for 20–30% of a home’s electricity use, so the choice of system matters. Many locals are now weighing solar hot water vs electric hot water, or electric hot water vs gas hot water as their old units reach the end of their life. Popular brands in the area include Rheem solar hot water and Rheem heat pump hot water, Rinnai solar hot water and premium systems like the Sanden heat pump, all competing for the title of best hot water system Australia and best heat pump hot water system for local conditions.
Typical hot water system price or cost will depend on size and technology, but energy savings soon add up. As a guide, Mowbray Park households commonly see:
• Old electric to heat pump hot water system: around $400–$800 per year off bills. • Gas storage to heat pump: roughly $300–$600 per year saved. • Gas to roof-mounted solar hot water system: about $250–$600 per year. • Old electric to modern electric hot water installation paired with rooftop solar: $250–$500 per year.
When you factor in the heat pump hot water price or cost, or a solar hot water price or cost, federal and state incentives make a real difference. The Australian Government’s Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) effectively act as an upfront discount on eligible solar hot water systems and heat pump hot water installation. On top of that, NSW hot water rebate programs can offer a dedicated heat pump hot water rebate or solar hot water rebate, and in some cases an electric hot water system rebate when replacing inefficient units. For many Mowbray Park homes, these hot water rebate NSW schemes can shave a big chunk off the invoice, shortening payback to just a few years.
Smart controls help too. Using timers to run an electric hot water system during solar hours, or adding solar-diversion so excess PV goes into your tank, can turn a standard unit into a very energy efficient hot water system. If your existing solar hot water tank replacement is due, it is an ideal time to review options such as Chromagen solar hot water or other modern systems, and to decide whether a new solar hot water repair or full upgrade will deliver better value.
Whether you need hot water repair, new electric hot water installation, solar hot water repair or a complete heat pump hot water installation, it pays to get local advice. Mowbray Park’s strong sun and growing interest in sustainability mean efficient hot water systems can cut bills, reduce emissions and future-proof your home. If your current unit is old, noisy or unreliable, now is a good time to check if your place is ready to move from gas or outdated electric to a modern heat pump or solar hot water heating system.
