Hot Water Systems in Kojarena

Hot water systems in Kojarena

Across Kojarena and the wider 6532 area, more households are shifting from old gas and ageing electric units to an energy efficient hot water system that actually keeps bills under control. With an average household size of around 2.7 people and more than 1,800 owner‑occupied homes, reliable, low‑cost hot water is a big deal for local families, farms and small businesses. Many properties still run older gas or resistive electric hot water, so upgrading to a modern heat pump hot water system, solar hot water system or efficient electric hot water system is a logical next step.

Kojarena is well suited to efficient hot water technology. The local climate data shows a strong mean daily solar exposure of about 20.4 MJ/m², which is roughly 5.7 kWh of sunshine per square metre per day over the year. That sort of sunlight is ideal for a solar hot water heating system and also supports excellent performance from heat pump hot water, especially when paired with rooftop solar. With a solid mix of families and nearly 1,800 households paying mortgages or owning outright, stepping away from volatile gas prices and high‑tariff electric hot water makes sense, particularly when you factor in the annual hot water energy savings a well‑designed upgrade can deliver.

Around Kojarena 6532, most dwellings are separate houses, and many already have solar PV on the roof. That makes it attractive to run an electric hot water system or heat pump on daytime solar rather than paying peak grid rates. Hot water energy use can be one of the biggest single loads in a home, so choosing the most efficient hot water system has a real impact on the power bill. Local installers are seeing steady interest in heat pump vs solar hot water comparisons, with households weighing up running costs, upfront hot water system price and long‑term reliability.

To give you a feel for savings, here are typical annual bill reductions when you combine smart hot water installation with good tariffs and, ideally, solar:

• Old electric to heat pump hot water system: about $350–$700 per year • Gas storage to heat pump hot water system: about $250–$600 per year • Gas storage to solar hot water system: about $200–$550 per year • Old electric to modern electric hot water installation timed to solar: about $150–$400 per year

Brands like Rheem and Rinnai are popular locally for both solar and efficient electric units, with options such as rheem solar hot water, rheem heat pump hot water and rinnai solar hot water well known across WA. Premium heat pump options like Sanden heat pump systems are also appearing on more properties that want the best heat pump hot water system with very low running costs.

Install numbers climbed strongly around 2010–2014, with peaks of 88 systems in 2010 and 80 in 2011, before settling into a steady pattern of around 30–60 installs per year through the late 2010s and into the 2020s. Even in 2022–2024, there have been dozens of new systems installed each year. This long‑term trend shows how local households are steadily moving towards electrification, lower running costs and more energy efficient hot water system choices.
