The local climate helps. Prospect Hill’s average annual solar exposure is about 16.7 MJ/m² per day, or roughly 4.6 kWh/m² of sunshine – plenty to drive a solar hot water heating system or support a high‑efficiency heat pump hot water system.

In Paris Creek, most homes are three‑ and four‑bedroom houses, so showers, baths and laundry loads can push hot water energy use to around a quarter of the household bill. That is why interest in the best hot water system Australia can offer – particularly the most efficient hot water system options like heat pumps and solar – is growing. Brands such as Rheem, Rinnai, Sanden and Thermann are common choices locally, with Rheem solar hot water and Rinnai solar hot water popular on rural roofs, while Sanden heat pump units and Rheem heat pump hot water systems suit all‑electric homes wanting quiet, low‑running‑cost performance.
Typical annual bill savings in the area look like: • Old electric to heat pump hot water installation: save about $400–$800 per year. • Gas to heat pump vs solar hot water: save roughly $300–$700 per year either way, depending on usage. • Gas to solar hot water installation: save around $300–$600 per year. • Old electric to modern electric hot water installation with rooftop solar: save about $250–$500 per year.

South Australian programmes can also offer a heat pump hot water rebate, solar hot water rebate or electric hot water system rebate on approved models, cutting the heat pump hot water price or solar hot water price by a substantial percentage. When you combine these with solar power and smart timers or solar‑diversion controls, many households see payback periods shrink to just a few years and enjoy hundreds of dollars a year in savings. For those comparing solar hot water vs electric hot water, or electric hot water vs gas hot water, these incentives often tip the balance towards an energy efficient hot water system.
