In Nollamara, most dwellings are separate houses and townhouses, with more than 8,400 owned outright or with a mortgage and over 7,000 rented. That mix means there is demand for everything from quick hot water repair on rental properties through to full hot water installation and hot water tank upgrades for owner‑occupiers planning to stay long term. Many homes already have rooftop solar, so pairing that with a heat pump hot water installation or solar hot water installation can turn daytime sunshine into free or very low‑cost showers.
Typical annual bill savings when you upgrade can look like this:
• Old electric to heat pump hot water system: around $350–$700 per year • Gas storage to heat pump: around $250–$500 per year • Gas to solar hot water system: around $250–$600 per year • Old electric to modern electric hot water installation using rooftop solar: around $200–$450 per year
