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 Amamoor and the 4570 area, 3,138 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 Amamoor's climate delivering an average of 5.2 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 Amamoor
Across Amamoor and the wider 4570 area, more households are moving away from old gas and power‑hungry electric units towards an energy efficient hot water system that actually suits our lifestyle and climate. With an average household size of around 2.4 people and more than 17,000 occupied dwellings in the postcode, reliable hot water is essential – but rising energy costs mean many locals are rethinking how they heat their water. Upgrading from an older gas or electric hot water system to a modern heat pump hot water system, solar hot water system or efficient electric hot water system is becoming the logical next step.
Amamoor’s sunshine is a big part of the story. The local weather station at Dagun Pocket records an average of about 18.6 MJ/m² of solar energy a day – roughly 5.2 kWh/m² – which is excellent for both a solar hot water heating system and high‑performance heat pump hot water. For families and retirees in the area, with a median household income of about $1,169 a week and a high share of homes owned outright or with a mortgage, cutting running costs without sacrificing comfort really matters. Annual hot water energy savings from efficient systems can easily reach hundreds of dollars a year, especially when you pair them with rooftop solar.
In the 4570 region, many homes are three‑ and four‑bedroom separate houses, which typically means higher hot water demand and plenty of roof space for a solar hot water installation. Hot water can account for a quarter or more of a typical household’s electricity use, so choosing the most efficient hot water system can make a real dent in bills. Locals are weighing up heat pump vs solar hot water, solar hot water vs electric hot water, and even electric hot water vs gas hot water as they plan their next hot water installation.
Typical annual bill savings in our climate look like:
• Old electric to heat pump hot water system: $350–$700 per year • Gas storage to heat pump hot water: $250–$500 per year • Gas storage to roof‑mounted solar hot water system: $300–$650 per year • Old electric to modern electric hot water installation with solar: $200–$450 per year
Brands like Rheem heat pump hot water and Rheem solar hot water are popular for robust performance, while Sanden heat pump units are known as some of the best heat pump hot water system options for efficiency. Rinnai solar hot water and Chromagen solar hot water are also common choices for those wanting a reliable solar hot water tank replacement. Many Amamoor households simply want the best hot water system Australia can offer for their budget, balancing hot water system price / cost with long‑term savings.
Efficient hot water is not new to the area. In the 4570 postcode there have already been 3,138 efficient hot water installations, combining both heat pump hot water installation and solar hot water installation. Install numbers grew steadily through the 2000s, peaking around 2009–2010 when incentives were strong, then easing off before picking up again from 2019 onwards. Recent years – including 2023 and 2024 – show renewed interest as more locals focus on electrification, lower running costs and cutting emissions. This has also driven steady demand for hot water repair and solar hot water repair services to keep existing systems working at their best.
Hot Water Rebates, Tariffs & Savings
Right now there is strong interest in Amamoor in replacing old gas or electric units with a more energy efficient hot water system – whether that is a heat pump hot water system, a new electric hot water system designed to work with solar, or a roof or ground‑mounted solar hot water heating system.
