Across the 6396 postcode, there is a growing mix of efficient systems. Many families are comparing heat pump vs solar hot water, weighing up running costs, roof space and when they use most of their hot water. Others are choosing a modern electric hot water installation paired with rooftop solar to get the best of both worlds. Brands like Rheem, Rinnai, Sanden and Thermann are common choices in regional WA, from classic rheem solar hot water and rinnai solar hot water setups through to premium sanden heat pump and rheem heat pump hot water units that are among the best heat pump hot water system options on the market.
