Hot Water Systems in The Narrows

Hot water systems in The Narrows

In The Narrows, more locals are swapping old gas and ageing electric units for an energy efficient hot water system that can handle the Territory heat without blowing the power bill. With an average household size of around 2.4 people and a lot of young working households on a healthy median household income, hot water is used heavily for showers, washing and everyday living. Upgrading your hot water system is a logical next step if you are already thinking about cutting bills or moving towards an all‑electric home.

The Narrows and surrounding 0820 suburbs enjoy outstanding solar exposure – around 21.4 MJ/m² of sunshine a day on average, or roughly 6 kWh/m², which is ideal for a solar hot water system or a modern heat pump hot water system. That strong sun means a solar hot water heating system can do most of the work for free, while a heat pump hot water system uses the warm air to heat water very efficiently, even on cloudy days. For many homes and units here, switching from older gas or resistive electric hot water to an energy efficient hot water system can deliver substantial Annual Hot Water Energy Savings.

With more than 7,500 occupied dwellings across 0820 and a big mix of separate houses and apartments, there is no one "best hot water system Australia" for everyone. Families in three‑bedroom homes will often lean towards a larger heat pump hot water installation, while couples in units may prefer a compact electric hot water installation paired with rooftop solar. Local installers in The Narrows regularly work with trusted brands like Rheem heat pump hot water and Rheem solar hot water, as well as premium Sanden heat pump systems and Chromagen solar hot water options for those chasing the most efficient hot water system they can fit on their roof or balcony.

Across the 0820 postcode, efficient hot water systems are steadily becoming the norm, with 1,362 heat pump and solar hot water installations already recorded. Installations picked up strongly in years like 2012 and 2017 and have continued through to 2025 as power prices rise and more people compare heat pump vs solar hot water and solar hot water vs electric hot water. Many homes that already have rooftop solar are now adding a compatible hot water system so they can use more of their own energy and less from the grid.

Typical annual bill savings in The Narrows are compelling:

• Old electric hot water to a quality heat pump hot water system: save roughly $350–$700 per year. • Gas hot water to a heat pump hot water system: save around $300–$600 per year. • Gas hot water to a solar hot water system: save about $250–$550 per year. • Old electric hot water to a modern electric hot water system run mostly on rooftop solar: save roughly $300–$650 per year.

For many households, the hot water system price or cost is the main barrier. That is where rebates help. Federal incentives via Small‑scale Technology Certificates (STCs) effectively cut the solar hot water price or cost and the heat pump hot water price or cost at the point of sale. On top of that, Northern Territory hot water rebate programs and broader hot water rebate nt schemes can apply to eligible homes when they install an approved heat pump hot water installation or solar hot water installation. In some cases, discounts can reduce system cost by 30–50%, especially when combined with retailer offers.

If you are comparing electric hot water vs gas hot water, or wondering whether a solar hot water tank replacement or solar hot water repair is worth it, local experts can also walk you through options like an electric hot water system rebate, solar hot water rebate, or heat pump hot water rebate that may apply in your situation. With the right set‑up – for example, a Sanden heat pump or Rheem heat pump hot water on a timer, or a solar hot water system with smart controls – many The Narrows homes can cut hundreds of dollars a year from bills and shorten the payback period significantly.

For businesses and body corporates, choosing the best heat pump hot water system or a well‑sized solar hot water heating system can also trim operating costs and reduce exposure to future gas price rises. Local hot water installation teams handle everything from design and sizing through to hot water repair and ongoing servicing, whether you run a café, a small accommodation venue, or a busy family home.
