Hot water systems in Woolaning
In Woolaning and across postcode 0822, more locals are rethinking their old gas and electric hot water system and switching to energy efficient options. With an average household size of around 3.8 people and plenty of family homes in separate houses, reliable hot water is non‑negotiable. At the same time, power bills bite hard when median household income sits near $1,347 a week, so an energy efficient hot water system that cuts running costs makes real sense.
Woolaning is perfectly placed for efficient hot water. The Walker Creek weather station records about 21.1 MJ/m² of solar exposure annually – roughly 5.9 kWh/m² per day – which is excellent for a solar hot water system or a modern heat pump hot water system that sips electricity while pulling heat from the tropical NT air. Upgrading from an older gas or resistive electric hot water system to a heat pump hot water installation, solar hot water installation or a modern electric hot water installation can slash the energy your hot water uses each year.
Across 0822 there are 5,400+ occupied dwellings, many with three or more bedrooms, so hot water demand is solid. Hot water can easily chew through a quarter or more of a typical home’s electricity use, especially with older units. That is why we are seeing more interest in choosing the most efficient hot water system possible, whether that is a Sanden heat pump, Rheem heat pump hot water unit, a Rheem solar hot water or Rinnai solar hot water system, or a Chromagen solar hot water heating system paired with rooftop PV.
Average annual bill savings from an upgrade in Woolaning can look like:
• Old electric to heat pump hot water system: about $400–$800 per year • Gas to heat pump hot water system: about $300–$700 per year • Gas to solar hot water system: about $250–$600 per year • Old electric to modern electric hot water system with solar: about $300–$700 per year
Over time, these savings help offset the hot water system price / cost, including the higher heat pump hot water price / cost or solar hot water price / cost compared with a basic replacement. For many homes, the best hot water system Australia can offer is one that matches your family size, roof space, tariffs and whether you already have solar.
Woolaning has already seen 1,020 efficient hot water installations, combining both heat pump and solar hot water systems.
