With more than 5,400 occupied private dwellings in the postcode and many owned with a mortgage, the potential Annual Hot Water Energy Savings across Camp Creek is huge when older gas or resistive electric units are replaced.
In 0822, many homes are separate houses with multiple bedrooms, so hot water energy use is a big slice of the overall electricity bill. Swapping an old electric hot water system for a high‑efficiency heat pump is one of the quickest ways to cut usage, while a quality solar hot water installation can use the Territory sun to do most of the work. Brands like Rheem heat pump hot water and Sanden heat pump units are popular for larger families chasing the best heat pump hot water system, while Rheem solar hot water and Rinnai solar hot water are common choices for those wanting a roof‑mounted solar hot water system.

Hot Water Rebates, Tariffs & Savings
Right across Camp Creek NT, more residents are weighing up heat pump vs solar hot water, or considering solar hot water vs electric hot water for their next hot water upgrade. Federal incentives like Small‑scale Technology Certificates (STCs) apply to eligible heat pump hot water system and solar hot water heating system installs, effectively acting as an upfront discount. On top of that, Territory and other state‑based schemes often include a heat pump hot water rebate, solar hot water rebate or electric hot water system rebate for replacing an inefficient unit with an approved energy efficient hot water system.
For many Camp Creek households, these hot water rebate NT programs can reduce the hot water system price or solar hot water price / cost by a substantial percentage, bringing premium brands like Sanden heat pump or Rheem solar hot water within reach.
