Beaudesert’s sunny climate makes it ideal for a solar hot water heating system or a high efficiency heat pump.

With more than 7,500 occupied dwellings and a big share of homes owned with a mortgage, upgrading from older gas or electric systems to an energy efficient hot water system is a logical way to cut running costs and free up cash in the household budget.

Local demand is strong because hot water can be one of the biggest energy users in the home. In a typical Beaudesert family house, hot water energy use can easily account for a quarter of total electricity. That is why many homeowners are comparing heat pump vs solar hot water and even looking at solar hot water vs electric hot water to work out the most efficient hot water system for their situation. Brands like Rheem heat pump hot water, Sanden heat pump and Rinnai solar hot water are popular choices, alongside systems from Solahart and others, because they are known as some of the best heat pump hot water system and solar options in Australia.

When you upgrade, the hot water system price / cost depends on size, brand and whether you choose a heat pump hot water installation, solar hot water installation or electric hot water installation.

Over time, those savings add up, especially for families and older residents on fixed incomes. Many locals also want to move to all electric homes and reduce reliance on gas, so they are weighing up electric hot water vs gas hot water as part of a broader electrification plan.
