Hot water systems in Round Corner
In Round Corner, more households are moving away from old gas and power‑hungry hot water towards energy efficient options like a modern heat pump hot water system, solar hot water system and well‑insulated electric hot water system.

Families here typically have solid incomes and sizeable mortgages, so cutting running costs without sacrificing comfort just makes sense.
Round Corner’s climate is ideal for efficient hot water. The nearby Dural weather station records around 16.1 MJ/m² of solar exposure a day on average – roughly 4.5 kWh/m² – which is excellent for both a solar hot water heating system and a heat pump hot water system that draws warmth from the air. When you swap an older gas or electric hot water system for today’s efficient technology, annual hot water energy savings can be significant, especially for busy family homes with teens, guests and regular laundry loads.
Across 2158 there have already been 219 efficient hot water installations, combining heat pump and solar hot water installation jobs. The biggest growth years were around 2009–2012, when installations peaked at 36 in 2009 and 30 in 2010, and there has been a steady trickle of new systems right through to 2025. This trend reflects growing local interest in electrification, lower running costs and using solar where possible instead of paying ever‑rising gas bills.
For a typical Round Corner home, hot water can be one of the largest single energy uses. That is why choosing the best hot water system Australia has to offer for your needs really matters. Brands like Rheem solar hot water and Rinnai solar hot water are common choices for roof‑mounted or ground‑mounted solar hot water systems, while Rheem heat pump hot water and premium options like a Sanden heat pump are popular for households wanting the most efficient hot water system with very low running costs. Many locals also look at Chromagen solar hot water when comparing heat pump vs solar hot water and working out which option best fits their roof, budget and lifestyle.
When you compare solar hot water vs electric hot water, or electric hot water vs gas hot water, it is useful to look at both upfront hot water system price and long‑term bills. Below are typical annual bill savings for Round Corner homes (actual figures vary by usage, tariffs and whether you have solar PV):
• Old electric to quality heat pump hot water installation: save around $400–$800 per year. • Gas storage to heat pump hot water system: save roughly $300–$600 per year. • Gas to a well‑designed solar hot water heating system: save around $250–$550 per year. • Old electric to modern electric hot water installation run mostly on rooftop solar: save roughly $250–$500 per year.
Upfront hot water system price or heat pump hot water cost can be higher than a basic tank, but rebates help. The Federal Government’s Small‑scale Technology Certificates (STCs) provide incentives for approved heat pump and solar hot water systems, effectively acting as a solar hot water rebate or heat pump hot water rebate that is usually taken off the invoice. In NSW, additional programmes and retailer offers can stack on top, and there may also be an electric hot water system rebate for certain efficient models. Together, these hot water rebate NSW schemes can cut the solar hot water price or heat pump hot water price by a substantial percentage and shorten the payback period to just a few years, especially if you already have solar power.
Smart controls make an energy efficient hot water system even better. Using timers or solar diversion so your electric hot water system or heat pump runs mainly during sunny hours can boost savings and reduce emissions further. If your existing unit is rusting, leaking, or you are facing a solar hot water tank replacement or frequent hot water repair call‑outs, it is often cheaper long‑term to upgrade rather than keep patching an old system. Local installers in Round Corner can also help with solar hot water repair, hot water repair, and advise on the best heat pump hot water system for your home.
If you live in Round Corner and your current hot water system is older gas or electric, now is a smart time to look at a hot water upgrade. With strong local solar, growing interest in sustainability and solid rebate support, efficient hot water NSW solutions like heat pumps, solar hot water and modern electric systems can reduce bills, cut emissions and future‑proof your home.
