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 Middle Point and the 0822 area, 1,020 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 Middle Point's climate delivering an average of 6.0 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 Middle Point
Across Middle Point and the wider 0822 area, more households are shifting to energy‑efficient hot water systems that keep bills down in the heat. With an average household size of around 3.8 people and more than 5,400 dwellings, reliable hot water is essential for busy families and shared homes. At the same time, power prices and cost of living pressures mean old gas and electric units are becoming expensive to run.
That is why many locals are upgrading from older gas or electric units to a modern hot water system such as a heat pump hot water system, solar hot water system or efficient electric hot water system. With strong solar exposure of about 21.5 MJ/m² per day (roughly 6 kWh/m² of sunshine), Middle Point is well suited to both a solar hot water heating system and high‑efficiency heat pump hot water. For households with a median total household income of around $1,347 per week and plenty of families with children, the annual hot water energy savings can make a real difference to the budget.
In 0822, separate houses dominate, which suits roof‑mounted solar hot water installation and outdoor heat pump hot water installation. Many homes are already going all‑electric, weighing up heat pump vs solar hot water to find the most efficient hot water system for their lifestyle. For some, the best hot water system Australia can offer is a premium heat pump such as a Sanden heat pump or Rheem heat pump hot water unit. Others prefer a roof‑mounted solar hot water system from brands like Rheem solar hot water, Rinnai solar hot water or Chromagen solar hot water with a ground tank.
When it comes to hot water system price, locals usually compare the upfront hot water system cost with long‑term running costs. Typical annual bill savings in Middle Point look like this:
• Old electric to heat pump hot water system: save roughly $400–$800 per year • Gas to heat pump hot water system: save roughly $300–$700 per year • Gas to solar hot water system: save roughly $250–$600 per year • Old electric to modern electric hot water installation with rooftop solar: save roughly $300–$700 per year
These savings are even stronger when solar PV is already on the roof and the hot water system is timed to run during the day. For many homes, a heat pump hot water price or solar hot water price can be offset quickly by lower bills.
Middle Point has already seen 1,020 efficient hot water installations, combining heat pump and solar hot water systems. Installations started slowly in the early 2000s, then picked up with noticeable growth around 2008–2010 and again from 2015 onwards, peaking at 123 installs in 2019. Even in recent years, with dozens of systems going in annually, the trend shows strong local interest in energy efficient hot water system options, electrification and lower running costs. Each solar hot water tank replacement or new heat pump hot water installation adds to community‑wide savings.
