The 5464 postcode, covering Hart, Anama, Brinkworth, Bungaree, Condowie, Koolunga, Marola and Rochester and surrounding areas, is home to around 282 households. 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 Hart and the 5464 area, 15 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 Hart's climate delivering an average of 5.0 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.

Hot water systems in Hart
In Hart, more locals are rethinking their old gas and electric hot water system and switching to energy efficient options like a heat pump hot water system, solar hot water system and modern electric hot water system. With most of the 213 occupied dwellings being separate houses and an average household size of 2.4 people, hot water demand is steady year-round, and so are the power bills. For many families on a median household income of around $1,309 a week, upgrading to the most efficient hot water system is a simple way to cut running costs without changing how you live.
Hart enjoys strong sunshine, with average solar exposure of about 17.9 MJ/m² per day – roughly 5 kWh/m² of solar energy daily. That is ideal for a solar hot water heating system or a heat pump hot water system that uses the air’s warmth to heat your tank. When you move from older gas or off-peak electric hot water to efficient hot water technology, annual hot water energy savings can easily reach hundreds of dollars, especially if you already have rooftop solar or are planning it.
Across 5464, there are 15 recorded efficient hot water installations, mainly heat pump and solar hot water installation jobs done over the past two decades, with small peaks around 2005–2010 as early adopters moved away from gas. That might not sound like a lot, but it shows growing interest in electrification and lower running costs, especially among owner-occupiers (over 160 homes are owned outright or with a mortgage). As power prices rise, more Hart households are comparing heat pump vs solar hot water, and even solar hot water vs electric hot water, to work out what best fits their roof, budget and lifestyle.
Typical annual bill savings for Hart homes can look like this:
• Old electric to heat pump hot water installation: save about $350–$700 per year. • Gas to heat pump hot water: save roughly $250–$600 per year. • Gas to solar hot water installation: save around $250–$650 per year. • Old electric to modern electric hot water installation with solar: save about $200–$500 per year.
Locally, brands like Rheem heat pump hot water, Rheem solar hot water, Rinnai solar hot water and Sanden heat pump units are popular choices, along with other reputable names such as Thermann and Solahart. Many are regarded among the best hot water system Australia has to offer, and some models are often rated as the best heat pump hot water system options for rural properties with good solar access. If you are on an older solar hot water tank, timely solar hot water tank replacement and solar hot water repair can also lift efficiency and reliability.
For Hart homes looking at hot water SA incentives, there is solid support to move towards an energy efficient hot water system. Federal Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) reduce the upfront hot water system price / cost of a compliant solar hot water system, solar hot water heating system or heat pump unit. On top of that, state-based schemes can provide a heat pump hot water rebate, solar hot water rebate or electric hot water system rebate that further lowers the effective heat pump hot water price / cost or solar hot water price / cost. In many cases, these hot water rebate SA programs can cut the installed hot water system cost by a substantial percentage and shorten payback to just a few years, especially if you run the system on a solar-friendly tariff, use timers, or add a solar-diverter to soak up excess rooftop generation.
If you are weighing up electric hot water vs gas hot water, or heat pump vs solar hot water, it is worth getting local advice on hot water SA options that suit Hart’s climate, your roof and your budget. With strong sun, mostly detached homes and a community already showing interest in efficient hot water, Hart is well placed to benefit from modern hot water installation and hot water repair services.
