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 Binjari and the 0852 area, 253 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 Binjari's climate delivering an average of 6.3 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 Binjari
Across Binjari and the 0852 region, more households are shifting from old gas and electric units to an energy efficient hot water system that suits the Territory climate. With an average household size of around four people and many family homes spread across 1,585 dwellings, hot water demand is high, and so are running costs if you are still on an older gas or electric hot water system. Upgrading to a modern heat pump hot water system, solar hot water system or efficient electric hot water installation is a logical next step for cutting bills and moving towards an all‑electric home.
Binjari’s strong sunshine is a big advantage. The local Manbulloo weather station records about 22.5 MJ/m² of solar exposure a day on average, which is roughly 6.25 kWh/m² per day. That level of sun is ideal for both a solar hot water heating system and for a heat pump hot water system, which effectively runs on free solar energy if you already have rooftop PV. With many younger families (median age about 28) and a high share of rented dwellings, choosing the most efficient hot water system can make a real difference to weekly budgets, especially where median household income is modest.
In practical terms, hot water can be one of the biggest energy users in a Binjari home. Larger three and four bedroom houses dominate the postcode, so a well‑sized hot water installation is important. Many locals are comparing heat pump vs solar hot water, or looking at solar hot water vs electric hot water to see what will give the best balance of upfront hot water system price and long‑term savings. Brands like Rheem heat pump hot water and Rheem solar hot water are popular for robust performance, while Sanden heat pump units are often chosen as some of the best heat pump hot water system options for efficiency. Rinnai solar hot water and Chromagen solar hot water are also common choices for a reliable solar hot water installation in tough Territory conditions.
Typical annual bill savings in the 0852 area can look like this:
• Replacing an old electric hot water system with a heat pump hot water system: around $400–$800 per year. • Switching from gas to a heat pump hot water system: around $300–$700 per year. • Switching from gas to a solar hot water system: around $300–$700 per year. • Upgrading an old electric unit to a modern electric hot water system and running it mostly on rooftop solar: around $250–$600 per year.
Recent years show that Binjari and the wider 0852 community are acting on these savings. There have been 253 efficient hot water systems installed locally, including heat pump hot water installation and solar hot water installation projects. After early activity in the mid‑2000s, installations picked up again from about 2016, with noticeable growth through 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020 as more residents looked for an energy efficient hot water system to cut costs and future‑proof their homes. Even as numbers move year to year, the trend towards electrification, solar hot water tank replacement and low‑running‑cost systems is clear.
Australian and NT hot water rebate programs are helping Binjari households make the switch. Federal Small‑scale Technology Certificates (STCs) apply to eligible solar hot water systems and some heat pump systems, effectively reducing the solar hot water price or heat pump hot water price at the point of sale. On top of that, state and territory schemes can offer a heat pump hot water rebate, solar hot water rebate or even an electric hot water system rebate for certain upgrades, especially when replacing old, inefficient electric or gas units. For many homes this can cut the hot water system cost by a substantial percentage and trim payback periods to just a few years, particularly when combined with rooftop solar, smart timers or solar‑diversion controls that prioritise hot water heating during sunny hours.
If your current unit is leaking, unreliable or more than ten years old, now is a good time to compare options like the best hot water system Australia has for your needs, from a simple electric hot water installation to a full solar hot water repair and upgrade. Efficient systems are not only the most efficient hot water system choice for bills, they also cut emissions and support the shift away from gas hot water NT‑wide.
