With hot water roughly accounting for a quarter of the average home's energy use, switching to an energy-efficient hot water system is one of the biggest opportunities for savings. Across Tatton and the 2650 area, 753 homeowners have already switched from older electric storage and gas hot water systems to solar hot water or air-source heat pump systems that draw on clean, renewable power while also claiming the hot water rebates to reduce their hot water heater system cost. These highly-efficient systems not only help cut energy bills but also reduce carbon emissions and improve overall energy independence.
With Tatton's climate delivering an average of 4.9 kWh/m² per day, conditions are ideal for hot water systems and hybrid heat pump systems that harness both sunlight and ambient air temperature to heat water efficiently all year round. When paired with existing rooftop solar power or solar batteries, the result is hot water that costs far less to run and is powered by clean, self-generated energy.

Hot water systems in Tatton
Across Tatton and the wider 2650 area, more households are switching to energy efficient hot water systems to keep bills down and move away from gas. With an average household size of around 2.5 people and a strong mix of family homes and downsizers, reliable hot water is non‑negotiable. At the same time, median household incomes sit in a sensible middle band, so people are rightly asking whether a new hot water system will actually pay its way.
Tatton is well placed for efficient hot water upgrades. The local climate enjoys around 17.8 MJ/m² of solar exposure a day on average – roughly 5 kWh/m² – which is great news for any solar hot water system or heat pump hot water system. That sunlight helps a solar hot water heating system pre‑heat your water and lets a heat pump run more efficiently during the day, especially if you already have rooftop solar. For many homes, upgrading an old gas or electric hot water system can cut hot water energy use by more than half, delivering solid annual hot water energy savings without sacrificing comfort.
Around Tatton, most dwellings are separate houses with three or four bedrooms, so hot water demand from showers, dishwashers and laundries adds up. Older gas and resistive electric units can quietly chew through a big share of household energy. That is why more locals are comparing heat pump vs solar hot water, and even solar hot water vs electric hot water, to find the most efficient hot water system for their family. Brands like Rheem solar hot water, Rinnai solar hot water and Chromagen solar hot water are common on roofs, while premium heat pump options such as Sanden heat pump and Rheem heat pump hot water are popular for all‑electric homes.
When you look at hot water system price and long‑term running costs, the picture becomes clearer. A modern heat pump hot water system can be two to four times more efficient than an old electric hot water system, and a well‑designed solar hot water installation can supply most of your needs from the sun. Typical annual bill savings in Tatton look something like:
• Old electric to heat pump hot water system: save about $350–$700 per year • Gas to heat pump hot water system: save about $250–$500 per year • Gas to solar hot water system: save about $200–$450 per year • Old electric to modern electric hot water system with good solar: save about $200–$400 per year
Recent installs in 2650 show how quickly things have shifted. There have been 753 efficient hot water installations (heat pump and solar hot water) recorded in the postcode, with strong peaks between 2008 and 2011 as rebates kicked in and solar took off. While numbers dipped after that first wave, the steady trickle of heat pump hot water installation and solar hot water installation in the last few years points to renewed interest in electrification, lower running costs and future‑proofing homes in Tatton.
Hot Water Rebates, Tariffs & Savings
For Tatton homeowners, generous incentives are helping to bring heat pump and solar hot water price points within reach. Federal Small‑scale Technology Certificates (STCs) effectively act as an upfront discount on eligible systems, while NSW programmes can add a specific heat pump hot water rebate or solar hot water rebate on top. In some cases, these hot water rebate NSW offers can trim the installed heat pump hot water cost or solar hot water cost by a substantial percentage, especially when combined with retailer discounts. There are also electric hot water system rebate options in some schemes, encouraging upgrades away from old gas hot water. Because hot water often makes up a big slice of your power bill, it is common to see efficient hot water upgrades save hundreds of dollars a year, with payback periods shortened further if you use timers or solar‑diversion to run your system when your panels are generating.
Whether you are comparing electric hot water vs gas hot water, looking at rheem solar hot water or rheem heat pump hot water, or trying to decide on the best heat pump hot water system for your family, it pays to get local advice.
