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 Rossmoya 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 Rossmoya's climate delivering an average of 5.5 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.

Community Hot Water Statistics - Rossmoya, 4702
Hot Water Demographics - Rossmoya
Based on the Australian Bureau of Statistics 2021 Census (ABS), Rossmoya has around 11,695 private dwellings, home to approximately 25,902 people. With an average household size of 2.7 people, and around 50 litres of hot water used per person each day in Australia, Rossmoya households use approximately 135 litres of hot water daily, equating to a massive 1.6 million litres of hot water used across the suburb every single day.
Other census insights reinforce Rossmoya's suitability for energy-saving improvements like energy-efficient or solar-powered hot water. The Rossmoya 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.
Rossmoya is converting hot water demand to efficient systems faster than many peers, with 18.9% of dwellings already upgraded.
Hot water systems in Rossmoya
Across Rossmoya and the 4702 region, more households are swapping old gas and tired electric units for an energy efficient hot water system that keeps bills down and showers steaming. With an average household size of around 2.7 people and more than 9,800 occupied dwellings, reliable hot water is essential – but so is keeping running costs under control when the median mortgage is about $1,560 a month and power prices keep creeping up.
Rossmoya’s sunshine is a real asset here. The area enjoys mean daily solar exposure of about 19.8 MJ/m², which is roughly 5.5 kWh of solar energy per square metre per day over the year. That strong solar resource is ideal for a solar hot water system or a modern heat pump hot water system that sips electricity while drawing heat from the air. For many locals, upgrading from older gas or resistive electric units to an efficient hot water technology is the logical next step in cutting annual hot water energy use and unlocking sizeable hot water energy savings.
In a postcode dominated by separate houses and families, hot water demand is steady all year round. A typical family home in Rossmoya can see hot water chewing through a big slice of total household energy, especially if you are still on an old electric hot water system. That is why more residents are comparing heat pump vs solar hot water, or looking at solar hot water vs electric hot water backed by rooftop PV. Brands like Rheem solar hot water, Rinnai solar hot water, Sanden heat pump and Thermann are common choices for those chasing the most efficient hot water system and a long-term solution rather than a quick fix.
When you run the numbers, the savings stack up. Here are some realistic average annual bill savings many Rossmoya households can expect after a hot water installation upgrade:
• Old electric to a quality heat pump hot water system: $450–$900 per year • Gas to heat pump hot water installation: $350–$750 per year • Gas to a solar hot water heating system: $300–$700 per year • Old electric to a modern electric hot water installation powered by rooftop solar: $300–$650 per year
Over time, these savings can easily offset the hot water system price, especially when you factor in rebates and incentives.
Efficient hot water is not a fringe idea in Rossmoya – it is already happening. There have been 2,215 efficient hot water systems installed in the 4702 postcode, including both heat pump and solar hot water installation projects. Installations ramped up strongly between 2006 and 2010, with peak years around 2007–2010, and while numbers have steadied in recent years, there is a clear, ongoing trend towards electrification, lower running costs and cleaner hot water QLD wide. Each new system means less spent on energy and fewer emissions for the community.
Hot Water Rebates, Tariffs & Savings
For Rossmoya homeowners, hot water rebates can make the difference between sticking with an old unit and stepping up to an energy efficient hot water system. Federal Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) apply to eligible solar hot water systems and heat pump hot water systems, effectively cutting the upfront solar hot water price / cost or heat pump hot water price / cost by a meaningful margin. On top of that, Queensland hot water rebate QLD programs and occasional electric hot water system rebate offers can further reduce the overall hot water system price / cost for approved upgrades.
When you combine a solar hot water rebate or heat pump hot water rebate with STCs, discounts can slice a substantial percentage off the initial outlay, bringing premium options like Rheem heat pump hot water or a Sanden heat pump within reach. Many Rossmoya households see hundreds of dollars a year shaved off power bills, and the payback period can shrink considerably, especially if you are also using rooftop solar and smart timers or solar-diversion controls to heat water when the sun is shining. That is where a solar hot water heating system or a well-set-up electric hot water vs gas hot water changeover can really shine.
Ongoing hot water repair and maintenance also matter. If your existing solar hot water tank replacement is overdue, or you need solar hot water repair rather than a full change, local specialists can assess whether fixing or replacing will deliver the best long-term value. For some, the best hot water system Australia has to offer might be a top-tier heat pump; for others, a chromagen solar hot water or rinnai solar hot water setup paired with PV will be the most efficient hot water system for their roof and budget.
If your current unit is rusty, unreliable or simply expensive to run, now is a good time to see whether a heat pump hot water system, a solar hot water system or a modern electric hot water system could suit your Rossmoya home.
