Hot water systems in Seventeen Mile Rocks

Across Seventeen Mile Rocks, more households are swapping old gas and electric units for an energy efficient hot water system that keeps bills down without sacrificing comfort. With an average household size of 2.8 people and more than 3,100 dwellings in the 4073 postcode, hot water is a big chunk of everyday energy use. For many owners paying a median mortgage of around $2,167 a month, upgrading to a modern heat pump hot water system, solar hot water system or efficient electric hot water system is a simple way to take the pressure off rising power prices.

The local climate makes this even more attractive. At nearby Mt Ommaney Golf Club, the average annual solar exposure is about 18.3 MJ/m² per day, which works out to roughly 5.1 kWh of solar energy per square metre, per day. That strong sunshine is ideal for a solar hot water heating system and also boosts the performance of a heat pump hot water system, which draws low‑cost heat from the warm Queensland air.

For older units, timely solar hot water tank replacement and hot water repair can prevent breakdowns and keep efficiency high.

Even if your current system is still limping along, there is growing interest in Seventeen Mile Rocks in replacing old gas or electric with efficient options like a heat pump hot water system, a newer electric hot water system or a solar hot water heating system.
