Hot water systems in Jeebropilly
Across Jeebropilly and the 4340 postcode, more locals are rethinking their hot water system as power prices rise and families look for smarter, all‑electric homes. With most dwellings being separate houses and an average household size of around 2.5 people, hot water demand is steady, and many homes still rely on older gas or electric units that chew through energy.

Jeebropilly’s sunshine is a real asset. The nearby Rosewood weather station records average solar exposure of about 18.6 MJ/m² a day, which is roughly 5.2 kWh/m² of solar energy daily. That strong sunlight underpins excellent performance for both a solar hot water heating system and a well‑sized heat pump hot water system, especially when paired with rooftop solar. For many families and older couples in the area, the annual hot water energy savings from moving off old resistive electric or gas can easily reach hundreds of dollars a year.
In the 4340 area, most homes are standalone houses with three or four bedrooms, so hot water usage often makes up a big slice of total energy use. That is why efficient options like Rheem heat pump hot water units, Sanden heat pump systems and popular brands such as Rheem solar hot water or Rinnai solar hot water are becoming more common, alongside Chromagen solar hot water on rural properties. Many households are weighing up heat pump vs solar hot water, or even solar hot water vs electric hot water with solar PV, to find the most efficient hot water system for their situation.
Typical bill savings for Jeebropilly households look like this:
• Replacing an old electric hot water system with a quality heat pump hot water system: save roughly $350–$700 a year. • Swapping gas hot water to a heat pump: save around $250–$600 a year, depending on usage and tariffs. • Moving from gas to a solar hot water system: save roughly $250–$550 a year. • Upgrading an old electric unit to a modern electric hot water installation and running it on daytime solar: save about $200–$450 a year.
