For many families and downsizers in the area, shifting to an energy efficient hot water system is the logical next step after installing rooftop solar, especially with electricity prices rising and more people wanting an all‑electric home.
Around 2800, three and four bedroom homes dominate, so daily hot water demand is steady, especially for families. That is where the choice of system really matters. A quality heat pump hot water installation can cut hot water energy use by up to two‑thirds compared with an old electric hot water system, while a well‑sized solar hot water installation can cover most of your needs in the sunnier months. Brands like Rheem heat pump hot water, Sanden heat pump and Rinnai solar hot water are increasingly common on local properties, alongside well known solar hot water tank replacement options from Chromagen solar hot water and others, helping Narrambla households chase the most efficient hot water system for their needs.
Typical savings for Narrambla homes look like this:
• Old electric to heat pump hot water system: about $350–$700 a year off bills. • Gas to heat pump vs solar hot water: usually $250–$600 a year, depending on tariffs. • Gas to solar hot water system: often $300–$650 a year. • Old electric to modern electric hot water installation run on rooftop solar: $250–$500 a year.
Recent years show how strong the local shift has been. In total, there have been 1,111 efficient hot water installations (heat pump and solar) recorded in the 2800 postcode. Install numbers surged from just a handful in the early 2000s to peaks of over 130 systems a year around 2008–2011.

Hot Water Rebates, Tariffs & Savings
For Narrambla residents weighing up heat pump vs solar hot water or even solar hot water vs electric hot water, rebates can make the decision much easier. Federal Small‑scale Technology Certificates (STCs) reduce the upfront hot water system price for eligible solar and heat pump units, while state hot water rebate NSW programs and targeted heat pump hot water rebate offers can further cut the heat pump hot water price. There are also electric hot water system rebate options when replacing old, inefficient units with approved models. In practice, these incentives can bring the solar hot water price or heat pump hot water cost down by a substantial percentage, often shaving years off the payback period. Combine rebates with rooftop solar, smart timers or solar diversion controls and you can use daytime generation to run your hot water, squeezing even more value from your system.
