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 Tieyon and the 0872 area, 606 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 Tieyon's climate delivering an average of 5.9 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.

Community Hot Water Statistics - Tieyon, 0872
Hot Water Demographics - Tieyon
Based on the Australian Bureau of Statistics 2021 Census (ABS), Tieyon has around 4,476 private dwellings, home to approximately 12,789 people. With an average household size of 3.6 people, and around 50 litres of hot water used per person each day in Australia, Tieyon households use approximately 180 litres of hot water daily, equating to a massive 0.8 million litres of hot water used across the suburb every single day.
Other census insights reinforce Tieyon's suitability for energy-saving improvements like energy-efficient or solar-powered hot water. The Tieyon community is home to 1,130 couple families with children and 605 one-parent families, meaning a large proportion of households face substantial hot water demand. With 19 homes owned with a mortgage and 135 owned outright, many residents also have the homeownership and growing equity that make switching to efficient hot water systems a practical way to lower expenses.
Tieyon is converting hot water demand to efficient systems faster than many peers, with 13.5% of dwellings already upgraded.
Hot water systems in Tieyon
Across Tieyon and the wider 0872 region, more households and community buildings are switching to energy efficient hot water systems to keep bills down and reliability up. With an average household size of 3.6 people and many family homes spread across 3‑ and 4‑bedroom dwellings, hot water demand is steady year‑round. At the same time, median household incomes are modest, so running costs really matter. Upgrading from older gas or aging electric units to a modern hot water system is becoming the logical next step for many locals.
Tieyon’s climate is perfect for efficient hot water. The area enjoys around 21.4 MJ/m² of mean daily solar exposure annually – roughly 6 kWh/m² per day – which is excellent for a solar hot water system or a high‑performance heat pump hot water system. That strong outback sun means a solar hot water heating system or quality heat pump can do most of the heavy lifting, with far less electricity than a conventional electric hot water system. Over a year, the hot water energy savings for a typical family home can be substantial, especially when replacing an older resistive electric or gas storage unit.
In a postcode with more than 3,200 occupied dwellings and a young median age of 29, there is a mix of busy family houses, staff accommodation and rental properties. Many tenants and landlords are looking for the best hot water system Australia can offer in terms of low maintenance and predictable costs. Heat pump hot water installation and solar hot water installation are both on the rise, often paired with rooftop solar. For smaller homes or outstations, a simple electric hot water installation on a solar‑friendly tariff can still be an energy efficient hot water system when timed to run during the middle of the day.
Across 0872 there have already been 606 efficient hot water systems installed, combining heat pump and solar hot water systems. Early peaks came in the 2000s, and there has been a strong wave of recent installs, with big jumps in 2018 and steady numbers through 2019–2021. That pattern shows how interest in electrification, lower running costs and reliable hot water in Tieyon has grown as technology has improved and rebates have become easier to access.
When locals compare heat pump vs solar hot water, both can work extremely well in this sunny climate. A heat pump hot water system, such as a Sanden heat pump or Rheem heat pump hot water unit, uses ambient air and only a fraction of the electricity of a standard tank. A solar hot water system – for example Rheem solar hot water, Rinnai solar hot water or Chromagen solar hot water – captures that strong Tieyon sun directly. Many residents also look at solar hot water vs electric hot water, or electric hot water vs gas hot water, to decide what best suits their roof space, budget and power supply. For some sites, a modern electric hot water system linked to rooftop solar is the most efficient option; for others, the most efficient hot water system will be a roof‑mounted solar hot water heating system with a ground tank.
Typical hot water system price or cost will vary by brand and size, but rebates help. A quality heat pump hot water price or cost is often higher upfront than a basic electric unit, yet ongoing savings are much larger. The same goes for a solar hot water price or cost, especially if you need solar hot water tank replacement at the same time. Well‑known brands like Rheem solar hot water, Rinnai solar hot water and premium systems like a Sanden heat pump are common choices for those chasing the best heat pump hot water system or a long‑lasting solar setup. When required, local hot water repair and solar hot water repair services can keep existing systems running efficiently rather than replacing them too early.
Average annual bill savings in Tieyon for a typical family home can look like this:
• Replacing an old electric storage unit with a heat pump hot water system: around $400–$800 per year saved. • Switching from gas to a heat pump hot water system: roughly $300–$700 per year saved. • Switching from gas to a solar hot water system: about $250–$600 per year saved. • Upgrading an old electric unit to a modern electric hot water system powered by rooftop solar: around $300–$700 per year saved, depending on usage and solar size.
Hot Water Rebates, Tariffs & Savings
Around Tieyon, interest in replacing old gas or electric hot water with efficient options like heat pumps, modern electric hot water systems and solar hot water is growing quickly. Homeowners are hearing more about Australian Government incentives and South Australian hot water rebate SA programs that can reduce the upfront cost of going efficient. The Federal Small‑scale Technology Certificates (STCs) scheme provides a form of solar hot water rebate or heat pump hot water rebate, effectively discounting systems based on expected renewable energy output. On top of that, state programs can offer additional support, including an electric hot water system rebate when replacing inefficient units.
For many Tieyon households, these incentives can cut the system cost by a substantial percentage, shortening payback periods to just a few years, especially when paired with rooftop solar. Using timers, smart controls or solar‑diversion devices to run a heat pump or electric system during the middle of the day can squeeze even more value from your panels. The result is a genuinely energy efficient hot water system that lowers bills, cuts emissions and provides dependable hot water SA‑wide.
If your current unit is old, unreliable or running on expensive gas, now is a good time to see whether your Tieyon home is ready for a hot water upgrade. Whether you are considering a heat pump, a solar hot water system or a modern electric hot water system, working with experienced hot water installers like us makes the process simple. With Tieyon’s strong solar resource and growing interest in sustainability, efficient hot water can reduce bills, cut emissions and future‑proof your property.
