Hot Water Systems in Mount Direction

Hot water systems in Mount Direction

Across Mount Direction, more households are swapping old gas and power‑hungry electric units for an energy efficient hot water system that actually suits Tassie conditions. With most of the 1,124 dwellings in the 7252 area being separate houses and an average household size of around 2.5 people, hot water demand is steady, but bills do not need to be. Many families here are on a median household income of about $1,619 a week, so every saving on running costs counts. Upgrading from a tired gas or electric hot water system to a modern heat pump hot water system, solar hot water system or efficient electric hot water system is a logical next step for cutting costs and emissions.

Mount Direction benefits from solid solar exposure, with nearby Hillwood averaging about 15 MJ/m² of sunshine a day – roughly 4.2 kWh/m². That is plenty to support a solar hot water heating system or boost the efficiency of a quality heat pump hot water system, especially when paired with rooftop solar. For many locals, hot water energy use is one of the biggest chunks of the power bill, so shifting to the most efficient hot water system you can afford has a real impact over time.

In the 7252 postcode, households are already moving in this direction, with 75 efficient hot water installations (heat pump and solar hot water) recorded so far. Installations ramped up from the mid‑2000s, peaking around 2009–2012, and we are seeing renewed interest again with new systems going in during 2024. This reflects a broader trend towards electrification, using solar where possible, and getting away from volatile gas prices. Brands like Rheem, Rinnai and Chromagen are common choices for a solar hot water system or solar hot water tank replacement, while premium heat pump units such as Sanden are popular with homeowners chasing the best heat pump hot water system and ultra‑low running costs.

For a typical Mount Direction home, a 250–315 litre hot water system will usually cover daily demand, with larger four‑bedroom homes sometimes stepping up in size. A heat pump hot water installation or solar hot water installation can dramatically reduce the share of your electricity that goes into hot water. Many locals are weighing up heat pump vs solar hot water, or solar hot water vs electric hot water, often in the context of existing rooftop solar and whether they plan to go all‑electric.

Typical annual bill savings for Mount Direction homes can look like this:

• Old electric hot water to heat pump hot water system: save roughly $400–$800 per year. • Gas hot water to heat pump hot water: save around $300–$700 per year. • Gas hot water to solar hot water system: save about $300–$600 per year. • Old electric to modern electric hot water installation with solar diversion: save roughly $250–$500 per year.

Actual hot water system price or cost depends on the technology and brand. A quality heat pump hot water price or cost is usually higher upfront than a basic electric hot water installation, but rebates and lower running costs often make the payback attractive. Likewise, a solar hot water price or cost can be eased with incentives, and systems like Rheem solar hot water, Rinnai solar hot water and Chromagen solar hot water are well‑established options. For many households, combining a reliable electric hot water system with rooftop solar and a smart timer can still be an excellent, energy efficient hot water system choice.

When something goes wrong, quick hot water repair matters. Local installers in Mount Direction handle solar hot water repair, solar hot water tank replacement and electric hot water repair, as well as full hot water installation for new builds and renovations.
