With many households already generating their own clean solar power, many are now looking at how they can make their entire home energy system more efficient, with hot water heating often the logical next step.
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 Gracemere and the 4702 area, 2,215 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 Gracemere's climate delivering an average of 5.6 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.

Other census insights reinforce Gracemere's suitability for energy-saving improvements like energy-efficient or solar-powered hot water. The Gracemere community is home to 2,326 couple families with children and 751 one-parent families, meaning a large proportion of households face substantial hot water demand. With 3,462 homes owned with a mortgage and 3,316 owned outright, many residents also have the homeownership and growing equity that make switching to efficient hot water systems a practical way to lower expenses.
Gracemere is converting hot water demand to efficient systems faster than many peers, with 18.9% of dwellings already upgraded.
Hot water systems in Gracemere
Across Gracemere, more locals are swapping old gas and electric units for an energy efficient hot water system that actually keeps bills under control. With around 9,800 occupied dwellings and an average household size of 2.7 people, hot showers, kids’ baths and laundry all add up – so the move to a modern heat pump hot water system, solar hot water system or efficient electric hot water system is a logical next step.
Gracemere’s sunshine is a big advantage. The area enjoys mean daily solar exposure of about 20.1 MJ/m², or roughly 5.6 kWh/m² per day across the year, which is ideal for a solar hot water heating system and strongly supports heat pump performance. With many homes owned outright or with a mortgage, and a solid median household income, homeowners are in a good position to upgrade from older electric or gas hot water to the most efficient hot water system they can afford and lock in long term savings.
In 4702, most residents live in three and four bedroom separate houses, so hot water demand is steady and family focused. That makes choosing the best hot water system Australia can offer – in terms of running cost and reliability – particularly important. For some homes, a quality rheem solar hot water or chromagen solar hot water system on the roof makes sense; for others, a sanden heat pump or rheem heat pump hot water unit in the yard delivers big cuts to energy use, especially when paired with rooftop solar.
Typical upgrade savings are significant. While every hot water system price or cost depends on the brand and size, the bill reductions are often similar:
• Old electric to heat pump hot water system: save roughly $350–$700 per year. • Gas to heat pump hot water: save around $300–$600 per year. • Gas to solar hot water system: save about $250–$550 per year. • Old electric to modern electric hot water with solar: save roughly $200–$500 per year.
Brands like Rheem, Rinnai and Sanden are common choices in Gracemere for heat pump hot water installation and solar hot water installation, while many households still opt for a straightforward electric hot water installation when budgets are tight. Locals are also comparing electric hot water vs gas hot water and even solar hot water vs electric hot water to work out what suits their roof, block and lifestyle. When something fails, prompt hot water repair or solar hot water repair and solar hot water tank replacement can be a chance to step up to an energy efficient hot water system rather than just replacing like for like.
