Recent figures show 45 efficient hot water systems (heat pump and solar hot water installations combined) have already gone in across the 6328 postcode. Installations peaked in the early 2000s, with steady upgrades in later years as more people chased lower running costs and moved towards all‑electric homes. The ongoing trickle of solar hot water installation and heat pump hot water installation jobs in recent years reflects growing interest in electrification, especially as more rural properties add rooftop solar.

When you are weighing up the hot water system price or cost, it is worth factoring in rebates. Green Range homeowners can usually access Federal incentives through Small‑scale Technology Certificates (STCs) for eligible solar hot water system and heat pump units, effectively acting as an upfront solar hot water rebate or heat pump hot water rebate. WA programs and retailer offers may also support efficient electric hot water installation, sometimes promoted as an electric hot water system rebate. These discounts can knock a substantial percentage off the solar hot water price or cost or the heat pump hot water price or cost, bringing premium systems like chromagen solar hot water or sanden heat pump units within reach. Combine rebates with timers, solar‑diversion and off‑peak tariffs and you can often trim hundreds of dollars a year from bills, with payback periods shortened considerably.

If your existing unit is nearing the end of its life, needs constant hot water repair, or you are facing a solar hot water tank replacement, it is a good time to compare options such as solar hot water vs electric hot water or electric hot water vs gas hot water and choose the most efficient hot water system for your property.
