Around 27,800 dwellings in the postcode, mostly separate houses with three or four bedrooms, means hot water demand is solid, especially for families with kids and multi‑generational households. Swapping an old electric hot water system or gas unit for the most efficient hot water system you can afford can knock a big chunk off your power bill. Many locals are comparing heat pump vs solar hot water, or solar hot water vs electric hot water, to see what fits their roof space, budget and routine. For some, a quality rheem heat pump hot water or Sanden heat pump makes sense; others prefer a roof‑mounted chromagen solar hot water or rinnai solar hot water system tied into rooftop solar.
Typical annual bill savings in Woodbine look like:
• Old electric to heat pump hot water system: $350–$700 per year • Gas storage to heat pump: $250–$550 per year • Gas storage to solar hot water system: $300–$600 per year • Old electric to modern electric hot water installation with solar: $200–$450 per year
In total, there have already been 2,112 efficient hot water installations (heat pump and solar hot water installation) recorded in the 2560 postcode. Installations ramped up sharply around 2009–2010, with more than 400 systems each year at the peak, and there is steady ongoing interest through to 2024 and 2025.

Hot Water Rebates, Tariffs & Savings
Right now, more Woodbine residents are looking at replacing tired gas or electric units with efficient options like heat pump hot water, new electric hot water system models and solar hot water.

On top of that, state heat pump hot water rebate and solar hot water rebate programs, plus the electric hot water system rebate in some schemes, can significantly reduce the heat pump hot water price / cost or solar hot water price / cost. In real terms, hot water system price reductions of 30–50% are possible once rebates are applied, and many homes see hundreds of dollars per year off their bills. When you combine rebates, off‑peak or solar‑friendly tariffs, and smart controls like timers or solar diversion, the payback period for a hot water upgrade in Woodbine can shrink to just a few years.
