Rudall is well placed for an upgrade.

For families and farming households with above‑average hot water use, shifting from old gas or off‑peak electric to an energy efficient hot water system can deliver meaningful annual hot water energy savings without sacrificing comfort.

Modern systems from brands like Rheem, Rinnai, Sanden and Thermann are common across regional South Australia and offer options from simple electric hot water installation through to premium sanden heat pump or rheem solar hot water packages.
