The nearby Henty weather station records an average annual solar exposure of about 17.6 MJ/m² per day – roughly 4.9 kWh of sunshine per square metre, per day across the year. That strong solar resource supports both a solar hot water heating system and a high performance heat pump hot water system, especially when paired with rooftop solar. For households on modest median incomes (around $1,069 per week per household), shifting from electric hot water vs gas hot water to a more energy efficient hot water system can trim hundreds of dollars a year off bills, which is significant when mortgages and farm costs are rising.
In Munyabla, most homes are three or four bedroom places, which means steady hot water demand from showers, laundry and kitchen use. A correctly sized hot water system can cover this comfortably without wasting energy. Many locals are comparing heat pump vs solar hot water to work out the most efficient hot water system for their set-up, and also weighing up solar hot water vs electric hot water when they already have good rooftop solar. Brands like Rheem and Rinnai are popular for both solar hot water installation and electric hot water installation, while premium heat pump options such as Sanden and other best heat pump hot water system models are gaining traction with those wanting the lowest running costs.
When it comes to hot water system price or cost, Munyabla households are seeing different upgrade paths. Typical annual bill savings can look like this:
• Replacing an old electric hot water system with a quality heat pump hot water system: about $400–$800 per year. • Switching from gas hot water to a heat pump hot water system: about $300–$600 per year. • Switching from gas to a solar hot water system: about $250–$550 per year. • Upgrading an old electric unit to a modern electric hot water system and running it mainly on rooftop solar: about $250–$500 per year.
