Hot water systems in Bulyee
Across Bulyee, more locals are upgrading their hot water system to cut bills and move away from ageing gas units. With most of the 349 dwellings being separate houses and an average household size of 2.4 people, a reliable, energy efficient hot water system really matters – whether you are running a busy family home or a working farm. Many households are on a median total household income of around $1,318 a week, so wasting money on an inefficient electric hot water system or old gas storage unit simply does not stack up.
Bulyee’s sunshine is a real asset. The town enjoys mean daily solar exposure of about 19 MJ/m² – roughly 5.3 kWh per square metre per day – which is excellent for both a solar hot water system and a modern heat pump hot water system. That solar resource, combined with rising energy prices, makes upgrading from older gas or resistive electric to an energy efficient hot water system a logical next step. Over the life of the unit, many Bulyee homeowners can save thousands in hot water energy costs.
In the 6306 postcode, most homes have three or four bedrooms, and families make up a big share of the 807 residents, so hot water demand is steady all year. Hot water can be 20–30% of a home’s electricity use, so choosing the most efficient hot water system is one of the quickest ways to bring bills down. Locals are increasingly comparing heat pump vs solar hot water, as well as solar hot water vs electric hot water, to find the best hot water system Australia can offer for their situation.
For context, here are typical annual bill savings when you upgrade:
• Old electric to heat pump hot water system: $400–$900 per year • Gas storage to heat pump hot water system: $300–$700 per year • Gas storage to solar hot water heating system: $300–$800 per year • Old electric to modern electric hot water installation with rooftop solar: $250–$600 per year
In Bulyee, brands like Rheem, Rinnai, Sanden and Thermann are popular options. A Rheem solar hot water or Rinnai solar hot water system suits larger family homes with good roof space, while a Sanden heat pump or Rheem heat pump hot water unit can be ideal if you want high efficiency without needing a full solar hot water installation. Many locals also pair these with PV solar to create a very energy efficient hot water setup.
Recent data shows 75 efficient hot water systems – mainly heat pump and solar hot water installations – have already gone in across 6306. Installations peaked in years like 2004 and 2009, with a fresh wave of interest from 2020 onwards, including new systems in 2021, 2024 and 2025. This trend reflects growing local interest in electrification, lower running costs and replacing old gas or electric hot water systems with modern options such as a heat pump hot water system or solar hot water system.
When considering hot water system price or cost, it is worth looking at rebates. Federal incentives such as Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) apply to eligible solar hot water and heat pump units, effectively acting as an upfront solar hot water rebate or heat pump hot water rebate. In WA, there may also be state-based support and tariff options that work alongside the national schemes, and some newer electric hot water system rebate offers target households switching away from gas. For Bulyee homeowners, these incentives can cut the solar hot water price or cost or the heat pump hot water price or cost by a substantial percentage, shaving years off the payback period. Combine rebates with timers or solar diversion so your electric hot water installation or heat pump hot water installation runs mainly on daytime solar, and you can often save hundreds of dollars a year. That is why there is rising interest in hot water WA upgrades and in making the most of every available hot water rebate WA residents can access.
If your existing unit is leaking, unreliable or more than ten years old, it is a good time to compare options like heat pump vs solar hot water, or even a modern electric hot water vs gas hot water replacement. Local specialists can help with hot water installation, hot water repair, solar hot water repair and solar hot water tank replacement, and can advise whether a solar hot water system, heat pump, or efficient electric hot water system will be the most efficient hot water system for your home.
