Across Ingliston and the 3342 postcode, more locals are swapping old gas and ageing electric units for an energy efficient hot water system that actually keeps bills under control. With most homes here being separate houses and an average household size of around 2.5 people, hot water demand is steady year‑round – and with median household incomes sitting in the mid‑$1,600s a week, wasted energy on an inefficient hot water system is money many families would rather keep.
Ingliston gets strong sunlight, with average solar exposure of about 15.1 MJ/m² a day – roughly 4.2 kWh/m². That makes both a solar hot water system and a modern heat pump hot water system a smart fit, especially if you already have rooftop solar or are planning it. Upgrading from old gas or a resistive electric hot water system to an efficient heat pump or solar hot water heating system can slash the energy used for hot water, which is often one of the biggest loads in the home.
Around 1,500 dwellings across 3342, with high levels of home ownership and plenty of three‑ and four‑bedroom houses, means families are running multiple showers, dishwashers and washing machines.
