Hot water systems in Eynesbury
In Eynesbury, more households are rethinking their hot water system as power prices rise and families look for smarter, all‑electric homes. With most of the 11,500‑plus dwellings being separate houses and an average household size of 3 people, hot water demand is high. Many households are paying off a mortgage and watching bills closely, so upgrading from old gas or electric units to an energy efficient hot water system is a logical next step. Locally, we enjoy strong sunshine, with average annual solar exposure of around 15.1 MJ/m² per day (about 4.2 kWh/m²/day), which is ideal for a solar hot water system or a modern heat pump hot water system that sips electricity while using ambient heat.
Eynesbury has a young, family‑focused population and a lot of four‑bedroom homes, so showers, baths and laundry loads add up. Hot water can easily be a quarter of a home’s energy use, which is why many locals are comparing heat pump vs solar hot water and even solar hot water vs electric hot water. A modern electric hot water system paired with rooftop solar can still be very efficient, but for many homes the most efficient hot water system will be either a quality heat pump or a well‑designed solar hot water heating system with storage.
Across postcode 3338 there have already been 7,352 efficient hot water installations, including both heat pump hot water installation and solar hot water installation.

Many households are also upgrading an older electric hot water system with a new, well‑insulated tank and timer‑controlled electric hot water installation to soak up excess rooftop solar. Typical annual bill savings in Eynesbury look like:
• Old electric to heat pump hot water system: save around $400–$800 per year. • Gas to heat pump: save roughly $300–$600 per year. • Gas to solar hot water system: save about $250–$550 per year. • Old electric to modern electric with solar: save around $250–$500 per year.

Hot Water Rebates, Tariffs & Savings
Eynesbury homeowners looking to move away from gas are tapping into hot water rebate VIC programs and national incentives. Federal Small‑scale Technology Certificates (STCs) reduce the upfront solar hot water price or cost and heat pump hot water price or cost, while state‑based schemes can add a heat pump hot water rebate, solar hot water rebate or electric hot water system rebate for eligible upgrades. These discounts can effectively cut the installed solar hot water price or cost by a substantial percentage, and many families see payback periods shrink to just a few years, especially when they use timers or solar‑diversion to run their system when rooftop solar is producing. The result is an energy efficient hot water system that can shave hundreds of dollars a year off bills while cutting emissions.
