Hot water systems in Nangus

Across Nangus and the wider 2722 area, more homeowners are rethinking their hot water system and moving away from old gas and power‑hungry electric units. With an average household size of around 2.4 people and most dwellings being separate houses, there is strong demand for reliable, energy efficient hot water that can keep up with family life without sending bills through the roof. Many locals own their homes outright or with a mortgage, so upgrading to a modern heat pump hot water system, solar hot water system or efficient electric hot water system is a logical next step when the old tank starts playing up.

Nangus is well suited to efficient hot water technology. The Wantabadgery weather station records mean daily solar exposure of about 17.7 MJ/m², which works out to roughly 4.9 kWh of solar energy per square metre per day over the year. That level of sunlight is ideal for a solar hot water heating system and also boosts the performance of a high quality heat pump hot water system, especially when paired with rooftop solar. With median household income sitting in the mid‑range for regional NSW and a good number of older residents and families, there is a real opportunity to lock in long‑term hot water energy savings and reduce bill shock.

In the 2722 postcode there are more than 1,200 occupied private dwellings, most with three or four bedrooms, so hot water demand is steady year‑round. For many homes, hot water can account for a quarter or more of total electricity use, particularly where older electric hot water systems or gas storage units are still running. That is why more locals are comparing heat pump vs solar hot water and even looking at solar hot water vs electric hot water to find the most efficient hot water system for their situation.

Typical savings from an upgrade are significant. For example:

• Replacing an old electric hot water system with a heat pump hot water system: about $350–$700 a year off bills. • Switching from gas hot water to a heat pump: around $300–$600 a year in savings, depending on gas prices. • Moving from gas to a solar hot water system: roughly $250–$550 a year. • Upgrading an old electric unit to a modern electric hot water system timed to run on rooftop solar: about $200–$450 a year.
