Installations peaked around 2007–2012, when yearly numbers regularly hit double digits, and while recent years have been quieter, interest is growing again as power prices rise and more people talk about all‑electric homes. Brands such as Rheem heat pump hot water, Sanden heat pump and Rinnai solar hot water are common choices locally, along with Rheem solar hot water and other options like Chromagen solar hot water for those wanting a quality solar hot water installation. Many of these are paired with existing rooftop solar to create the most efficient hot water system possible for Warrami conditions.

For a typical Warrami home, hot water demand is moderate but constant, and a well‑sized heat pump hot water installation or solar hot water tank replacement can easily keep up. To give you a feel for potential savings, here are some realistic ranges for annual bill reductions in this climate:

• Old electric to quality heat pump hot water system: save roughly $400–$800 per year. • Gas storage to heat pump: save around $300–$600 per year. • Gas to roof‑mounted solar hot water heating system: save about $300–$700 per year. • Old electric to modern electric hot water installation with good solar: save $250–$500 per year.

Actual hot water system cost will vary with size and brand, but many households find that a heat pump hot water price or solar hot water price is more manageable once rebates are factored in. Federal incentives like Small‑scale Technology Certificates (STCs) apply across Queensland, effectively giving you an upfront discount on approved systems such as Sanden heat pump units, Rheem solar hot water, Rinnai solar hot water and other best hot water system Australia contenders. On top of that, there are state‑based hot water rebate QLD programs, including a heat pump hot water rebate or solar hot water rebate, and in some cases an electric hot water system rebate when you move away from gas to more efficient technology. Together, these hot water rebate QLD incentives can cut the installed heat pump hot water cost or solar hot water price by a substantial percentage, and shorten the payback period to just a few years, especially if you also use timers or solar diversion to run your system when your panels are producing.
