Kupunn’s sunshine is a big advantage. The local weather station records around 19.6 MJ/m² of solar exposure a day on average – roughly 5.4 kWh/m²/day – which is ideal for a solar hot water system or a modern heat pump hot water system that sips electricity while drawing free heat from the air.

In the 4405 area, efficient hot water systems like heat pumps and solar hot water are steadily appearing on roofs and slabs. A typical three‑bedroom home can see hot water chewing through a quarter of its electricity use, so choosing the most efficient hot water system really matters. Many locals are weighing up heat pump vs solar hot water, or comparing solar hot water vs electric hot water, especially when they already have rooftop solar. Brands such as Rheem, Rinnai, Sanden and Thermann are common choices, whether that’s a Rheem solar hot water system, a Rheem heat pump hot water upgrade, a Rinnai solar hot water package or a premium Sanden heat pump for very low running costs.
Here’s a guide to realistic annual bill savings in a sunny spot like Kupunn when you combine the right unit with smart tariffs and, ideally, rooftop solar:
• Old electric to heat pump hot water system: save roughly $350–$700 per year. • Gas to heat pump hot water: save around $250–$600 per year. • Gas to solar hot water heating system: save about $250–$550 per year. • Old electric to modern electric hot water system run on solar: save around $200–$500 per year.
Efficient hot water is not new to Kupunn. Across the postcode, there have already been 243 efficient hot water installations, combining heat pump hot water installation and solar hot water installation. Install numbers climbed through 2007–2011, with a peak around 2009–2011 when over 80 systems went in, and there has been a steady trickle of new installs right through to 2024 and 2025. That pattern shows growing local interest in electrification, lower running costs and using Kupunn’s strong solar resource, backed up by ongoing hot water repair and solar hot water repair work as systems age or need a solar hot water tank replacement.
For many households, the big question is hot water system price or cost. A quality heat pump hot water price or cost is usually higher upfront than a basic electric hot water system, and a full solar hot water price or cost can be higher again. But federal Small‑scale Technology Certificates (STCs) and Queensland hot water rebate QLD programs for efficient units can cut the sticker price significantly. Depending on the model, a solar hot water rebate, heat pump hot water rebate or electric hot water system rebate can trim the cost by a substantial percentage, bringing options like Rheem solar hot water, Chromagen solar hot water or the best heat pump hot water system for your needs well within reach. With the right hot water rebate QLD incentives and smart use of timers or solar diversion, many Kupunn homes see payback periods drop to just a few years, with hundreds of dollars a year shaved off bills.
