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 Towrang and the 2580 area, 318 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 Towrang's climate delivering an average of 4.6 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 Towrang
Across Towrang and the wider 2580 area, more households are rethinking their old gas and electric hot water and shifting to energy efficient options like a heat pump hot water system, solar hot water system and modern electric hot water system. With average household sizes around 2.4 people and more than 8,000 families in the postcode, reliable hot water is non‑negotiable – but so are rising power prices. For many Towrang homeowners, upgrading the hot water system is the next logical step after installing solar, especially with the strong local solar exposure.
Towrang benefits from excellent sunshine, with mean daily solar exposure averaging about 16.4 MJ/m² – roughly 4.5–4.6 kWh/m² per day – which is ideal for a solar hot water heating system or a high‑efficiency heat pump hot water system that runs when your solar is producing. In a postcode where over 8,000 dwellings are separate houses and a large share are owned outright or with a mortgage, there’s real scope to replace older gas hot water or an ageing electric hot water system with something that slashes running costs. Annual hot water energy savings can easily reach hundreds of dollars a year when you move to the most efficient hot water system for your household.
In 2580, most homes are three and four‑bedroom houses, so hot water demand adds up quickly, especially for families with teenagers or multi‑generational households. Local installers are seeing steady interest in heat pump hot water installation and solar hot water installation as people chase lower bills and quieter, low‑maintenance systems. Brands like Rheem heat pump hot water, Sanden heat pump units, and solar options such as Rheem solar hot water and Rinnai solar hot water are common choices for those chasing the best hot water system Australia can offer in real‑world Towrang conditions.
Typical savings depend on what you are upgrading from, but rough annual bill reductions for Towrang homes look like this:
• Old electric to heat pump hot water system: $450–$900 per year • Gas storage to heat pump: $350–$700 per year • Gas storage to solar hot water system: $300–$650 per year • Old electric to modern electric hot water installation with rooftop solar: $250–$600 per year
Upfront hot water system price or cost will vary with size and brand, but efficient options are now far more accessible once rebates are factored in.
Recent data shows 318 efficient hot water installations (heat pumps and solar hot water) recorded across the 2580 postcode, including Towrang. Installations climbed sharply around 2008–2011, peaking at 58 systems in 2009 and 42 in 2010, then settling into a steady trickle in recent years. That early surge reflects strong local interest in electrification, hot water rebate NSW programs and lower running costs, while the ongoing upgrades show Towrang households continuing to replace old units as they fail with more energy efficient hot water system options.
Hot Water Rebates, Tariffs & Savings
Right now, more Towrang residents are weighing up heat pump vs solar hot water, or even solar hot water vs electric hot water with rooftop PV, as they look to move away from gas. The Australian Government’s Small‑scale Technology Certificates (STCs) apply to eligible solar hot water heating system and heat pump hot water installation, effectively acting as an upfront discount on the solar hot water price or cost and heat pump hot water price or cost. On top of that, state schemes can provide a dedicated heat pump hot water rebate or solar hot water rebate, and in some cases an electric hot water system rebate when replacing old, inefficient units.
For Towrang homeowners, these hot water rebate NSW incentives can trim the system cost by a substantial percentage and cut the payback period to just a few years, especially if you run the system on daytime solar or use timers and solar‑diversion controls. Switching from electric hot water vs gas hot water to a quality heat pump or solar setup can easily save hundreds of dollars a year, particularly when hot water energy use is a big slice of your overall household consumption. When needed, local specialists can also help with hot water repair, solar hot water repair and solar hot water tank replacement to keep existing systems performing well.
