Choosing between the best heat pump hot water system and a quality solar hot water system comes down to roof space, budget, and when your household uses hot water.

Asking for a clear hot water system price or cost, heat pump hot water price or cost, and solar hot water price or cost upfront – including installation and any switchboard work – helps you compare options properly.
