With many households already generating their own clean solar power, many are now looking at how they can make their entire home energy system more efficient, with hot water heating often the logical next step.
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 Anatye and the 0872 area, 606 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 Anatye's climate delivering an average of 6.2 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.

Other census insights reinforce Anatye's suitability for energy-saving improvements like energy-efficient or solar-powered hot water. The Anatye community is home to 1,130 couple families with children and 605 one-parent families, meaning a large proportion of households face substantial hot water demand. With 19 homes owned with a mortgage and 135 owned outright, many residents also have the homeownership and growing equity that make switching to efficient hot water systems a practical way to lower expenses.
Anatye is converting hot water demand to efficient systems faster than many peers, with 13.5% of dwellings already upgraded.
Hot water systems in Anatye
Across Anatye and the wider 0872 region, more homes and community buildings are rethinking their hot water system. With average households of around 3.6 people and a young median age of 29, demand for reliable showers, laundry and kitchen hot water is constant – but power prices and diesel or gas supply can be a real headache. Upgrading from an older gas or electric hot water system to a modern heat pump hot water system, solar hot water system or efficient electric hot water system is becoming the logical next step for many Anatye residents.
Anatye’s climate is ideal for efficient hot water. Nearby Lucy Creek records an average annual solar exposure of about 22.4 MJ/m² per day – roughly 6.2 kWh/m² of sunshine – which is excellent for any solar hot water heating system and also boosts the performance of a heat pump hot water system. With more than 3,200 occupied private dwellings spread across separate houses, units and other housing, there is plenty of roof space and yard area to make the most of that sun. Many homes are rented (over 2,300 rented dwellings), so reliable, low‑running‑cost hot water is just as important for landlords as it is for families.
In 0872, hot water can be one of the biggest single loads on a household’s energy use, especially in larger three‑ and four‑bedroom homes. That is why we are seeing more interest in options like Rheem solar hot water, Rinnai solar hot water and Chromagen solar hot water on rooftops, alongside premium heat pumps such as Sanden heat pump systems in all‑electric homes. For some properties, a simple electric hot water installation paired with existing rooftop solar gives great value. For others, a dedicated solar hot water installation or heat pump hot water installation delivers the most efficient hot water system and the lowest bills.
Typical annual bill savings in Anatye for a well‑sized energy efficient hot water system can look like this:
• Old electric to quality heat pump hot water system: save around $350–$700 per year. • Gas hot water to heat pump: save roughly $300–$600 per year, plus avoid gas connection fees. • Gas hot water to solar hot water system: save about $250–$550 per year. • Old electric to modern electric hot water installation backed by rooftop solar: save $250–$500 per year.
Over the years, Anatye and the 0872 postcode have already seen 606 efficient hot water installations, combining both heat pumps and solar hot water systems. Early activity peaked in 2001, but the real growth has been since 2018, with strong years in 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021 as households chased lower running costs and moved away from gas hot water. More recent installations show a steady trickle of new heat pump and solar hot water repair and replacement jobs as older systems reach the end of their life. This local trend towards electrification and efficient hot water lines up with the area’s growing focus on keeping bills down on modest median household incomes, while still enjoying reliable hot water NT‑wide.
When it comes to hot water rebate NT programs, Anatye homeowners and landlords can often tap into a mix of Federal and Territory incentives. The Australian Government’s Small‑scale Technology Certificates (STCs) effectively act as a solar hot water rebate or heat pump hot water rebate, cutting the upfront hot water system price or cost of eligible systems. On top of that, Territory and retailer schemes may offer extra support for efficient hot water upgrade projects, including electric hot water system rebate offers in some cases. These rebates can reduce the heat pump hot water price or cost – or the solar hot water price or cost – by a substantial percentage, and when combined with timers or solar‑diversion controls they can shorten payback periods to just a few years. For many Anatye households, swapping from electric hot water vs gas hot water to a modern energy efficient hot water system can mean hundreds of dollars off annual bills.
Choosing the best hot water system Australia‑wide for your property in Anatye comes down to your roof space, power supply, family size and budget. Some owners prefer a Rheem heat pump hot water unit or Sanden heat pump for maximum efficiency, while others opt for Rheem solar hot water, Rinnai solar hot water or Chromagen solar hot water with a roof‑mounted or ground‑mounted solar hot water tank replacement. If you already have rooftop solar, the question of heat pump vs solar hot water, or solar hot water vs electric hot water, is worth talking through with a specialist so you can match your system to your usage and tariffs.
If your existing unit is rusting, running out of hot water or needing constant hot water repair, it is a good time to look at a carefully planned hot water installation rather than just replacing like‑for‑like. The most efficient hot water system for Anatye may be very different from what was installed ten or fifteen years ago.
