Hot Water Systems in Beaconsfield Upper

Hot water systems in Beaconsfield Upper

Across Beaconsfield Upper, more homeowners are rethinking their old gas and electric hot water system and switching to efficient options like a heat pump hot water system, solar hot water system or modern electric hot water system. With mostly separate houses, an average household size of 3.1 people and a strong family focus, reliable and affordable hot water is a big deal in 3808.

The local climate helps. Beaconsfield Upper enjoys around 14.5 MJ/m² of solar exposure a day on average, which works out to roughly 4 kWh/m² of usable sunshine. That is ideal for both a solar hot water heating system and a high-performance heat pump hot water system, especially when paired with rooftop solar. With median household income over $2,700 a week and most homes either owned outright or with a mortgage, upgrading from older gas or off-peak electric to an energy efficient hot water system is a logical next step to cut running costs and future-proof the home.

In 3808, demand is driven by larger family homes – more than 800 dwellings have three or more bedrooms – which means heavier hot water use for showers, washing and dishwashers. That is where choosing the best hot water system Australia can offer your situation really matters. A well-sized heat pump hot water installation or solar hot water installation can cover most of a typical family’s hot water demand while slashing energy use compared with electric hot water vs gas hot water systems.

For a sense of potential savings, here are some typical annual bill reductions when you combine the right hot water installation with smart tariffs and, where possible, solar:

• Old electric to heat pump hot water system: $400–$800 per year • Gas storage to heat pump hot water system: $300–$600 per year • Gas storage to solar hot water system: $250–$550 per year • Old electric to modern electric hot water installation with solar: $250–$500 per year

Brands like Rheem, Rinnai, Sanden and Thermann are common choices locally. Rheem solar hot water and Rinnai solar hot water are popular for roof-mounted or split systems, while Rheem heat pump hot water, Sanden heat pump and premium units from Thermann are often shortlisted when people compare the best heat pump hot water system options. Many households also weigh up heat pump vs solar hot water, looking at their roof space, existing solar, budget and typical hot water system price / cost before deciding.
