Upgrading from older gas or electric hot water to a heat pump hot water system, solar hot water heating system or efficient electric hot water system can slash annual hot water energy use, often delivering some of the biggest energy savings available in the home.
Across the 0852 postcode there are 2,037 dwellings in total, with a large share rented and more than 600 households in state or territory housing. That makes reliability, low maintenance and predictable bills especially important. Many homes are already exploring all‑electric living, pairing rooftop solar with an energy efficient hot water system to cut diesel and gas reliance. Brands such as Rheem heat pump hot water, Rinnai solar hot water, Sanden heat pump and Chromagen solar hot water are increasingly common options for heat pump hot water installation and solar hot water installation in the region, alongside quality electric hot water installation where solar PV is already in place.
In Gregory 0852, efficient hot water systems installed over the years now total 253, combining both heat pump and solar hot water installations. Installations really took off from 2003, with strong years in 2005, 2018, 2019 and 2020 as households chased lower bills and better comfort. Recent totals show steady interest, with 12 systems in 2023 alone. Each new solar hot water system or heat pump hot water system reflects the growing shift towards electrification, lower running costs and more resilient homes in hot water nt.
For a typical household in Gregory, hot water can be one of the biggest energy users, especially for families with kids and multi‑bathroom homes. Switching to the most efficient hot water system can make a noticeable dent in bills. Depending on your current setup, realistic average annual bill savings might look like:
• Old electric to heat pump hot water system: $500–$900 per year • Gas to heat pump hot water system: $400–$750 per year • Gas to solar hot water system: $350–$700 per year • Old electric to modern electric hot water system with solar PV: $300–$650 per year
Choosing between heat pump vs solar hot water, or solar hot water vs electric hot water, depends on your roof space, water usage and whether you already have solar. Many locals find that a Sanden heat pump or Rheem heat pump hot water unit, combined with rooftop solar, gives performance close to a dedicated solar hot water heating system, while others prefer a rheem solar hot water or rinnai solar hot water setup with a roof‑mounted collector and ground tank. Chromagen solar hot water systems are also popular where rugged, simple solar hot water tank replacement is needed in remote conditions. For some properties, a robust electric hot water system remains the best fit, especially when paired with timers or smart controls that run off solar during the day.
When weighing the best hot water system Australia has to offer for your property, it is worth comparing heat pump hot water price / cost, solar hot water price / cost and the overall hot water system price / cost including installation and any switchboard or plumbing upgrades. Good hot water installation and hot water repair support are vital in a remote area like Gregory, where access to parts and service can be harder. Having local specialists who understand both solar hot water repair and electric hot water vs gas hot water performance in the NT climate can save a lot of headaches.
