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 Gore and the 4352 area, 1,907 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 Gore's climate delivering an average of 5.4 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.

Gore is blessed with strong sunshine, averaging about 19.3 MJ/m² of solar exposure a day – roughly 5.4 kWh/m². That is excellent for both a solar hot water system and a modern heat pump hot water system, especially when paired with rooftop solar. Upgrading from an older gas or electric hot water system to a modern energy efficient hot water system can slash the energy used for water heating, which is often one of the biggest loads in a typical Gore home. Over the life of the unit, the annual hot water energy savings really add up, helping families on median household incomes of around $2,001 a week keep more money in their pocket.
In the 4352 postcode there are more than 10,000 occupied dwellings, many of them three and four bedroom homes with busy families and plenty of hot showers. That makes choosing the most efficient hot water system important. Locals are increasingly comparing heat pump vs solar hot water, weighing up a roof-mounted solar hot water heating system against a high-performance heat pump hot water system that sips electricity. Modern electric hot water systems are also popular when paired with solar, especially for those planning an all-electric home and looking at electric hot water vs gas hot water for the long term.
Typical annual bill savings for Gore households can look like this:
• Old electric to heat pump hot water system: save roughly $350–$700 per year. • Gas storage to heat pump hot water system: save around $250–$600 per year. • Gas to solar hot water system: save about $250–$550 per year. • Old electric to modern electric hot water system with solar: save roughly $200–$500 per year.
Brands like Rheem heat pump hot water and Rheem solar hot water are well known across regional Queensland, while Rinnai solar hot water, Sanden heat pump and Chromagen solar hot water are also common choices for efficient upgrades. Many locals look for the best hot water system Australia offers in their budget, and for some that means the best heat pump hot water system they can afford, while others prefer a roof-mounted solar hot water installation with a ground tank. When it is time for electric hot water installation, solar hot water installation or heat pump hot water installation, getting the hot water system price right – including rebates – is crucial.
In Gore and the 4352 area, there have already been 1,907 efficient hot water installations, combining both heat pump and solar hot water systems. Installations climbed steadily from the early 2000s, with strong years around 2008 to 2011, before tapering off slightly and then stabilising more recently. Even in 2024 and 2025, new systems are still being added, showing ongoing interest in lower running costs, electrification and cleaner hot water qld solutions.
Hot Water Rebates, Tariffs & Savings
Across Gore, more people are looking to replace old gas or resistive electric units with a heat pump hot water system, a modern electric hot water system or a solar hot water system to stay ahead of rising energy prices. Australian Federal Government incentives, such as Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs), can reduce the upfront solar hot water price / cost, heat pump hot water price / cost and even some efficient electric hot water system price points. On top of that, Queensland hot water rebate qld programs at times support heat pump hot water rebate or solar hot water rebate offers, and there may also be an electric hot water system rebate when shifting away from gas.
These discounts can effectively trim the installed solar hot water price / cost or heat pump hot water price / cost by a substantial percentage, which shortens the payback period. When you combine rebates with rooftop solar, timers, or solar-diversion controls that run your hot water system when the sun is shining, it is possible to save hundreds of dollars per year and move closer to the most efficient hot water system setup for your home. For many Gore families, that kind of energy efficient hot water system is an easy way to reduce bills and emissions without changing daily habits.
If your hot water system is getting old, running out of hot water, or needing constant hot water repair, it may be time to look at a hot water upgrade.
