Hot Water Systems in Bungeworgorai

Hot water systems in Bungeworgorai

Across Bungeworgorai and the wider 4455 area, more locals are looking at upgrading to an energy efficient hot water system. With most homes here being separate houses and an average household size of around 2.5 people, hot water demand is steady all year round. At the same time, rising energy costs are squeezing budgets, even with a solid median household income of about $1,772 a week. Swapping an old gas or electric hot water system for a modern heat pump hot water system, solar hot water system or efficient electric hot water system is becoming the logical next step for many families.

Bungeworgorai is well suited to solar hot water and heat pump technology. The local climate data from nearby Horseshoe Lagoon shows mean daily solar exposure of about 20.3 MJ/m², which works out to roughly 5.6 kWh/m² of sunshine a day across the year. That strong, consistent sun helps a solar hot water heating system perform well and also boosts the efficiency of a heat pump hot water system, especially when it is timed to run during the middle of the day. With more than 3,000 occupied private dwellings in the postcode and a big share of homes either owned outright or with a mortgage, there is plenty of scope for long term savings from an energy efficient hot water system.

In 4455, most homes are three and four bedroom properties, so families and shared households use a fair bit of hot water. That makes choosing the most efficient hot water system important. Many households are comparing heat pump vs solar hot water, as well as solar hot water vs electric hot water, to work out what suits their roof space, budget and lifestyle. Brands such as Rheem, Rinnai and Sanden are popular for their reliable heat pump hot water installation options, while Chromagen solar hot water and Rheem solar hot water are common choices for roof or ground-mount solar hot water installation. For some properties, a quality electric hot water installation paired with rooftop solar can still stack up well on running costs.

Typical hot water system price or cost will vary with size and brand, but the running cost is where efficient systems shine. To give you a feel for the savings, many Bungeworgorai homes see annual bill reductions like:

• Old electric to heat pump hot water system: save roughly $350–$700 a year. • Gas to heat pump hot water: save around $250–$600 a year. • Gas to solar hot water system: save about $250–$550 a year. • Old electric to modern electric hot water system with good solar: save about $200–$450 a year.

Over time, these savings add up to thousands of dollars and help future proof homes as more people move towards all electric living and away from gas hot water.
