That strong sunlight helps a solar hot water heating system or modern heat pump deliver big annual hot water energy savings compared with an older electric hot water system or gas storage unit. For many homes, hot water energy use is one of the biggest loads after heating and cooling, so upgrading is a logical next step in cutting bills and emissions.
In the 6330 postcode, there is a clear trend towards smarter choices like heat pump hot water and solar hot water. Families, retirees and working couples alike are looking for the most efficient hot water system they can reasonably afford, weighing up heat pump vs solar hot water as well as solar hot water vs electric hot water. Brands such as Rheem, Rinnai, Sanden and Thermann are common on quotes locally, with options ranging from a roof‑mounted rheem solar hot water or rinnai solar hot water system through to a premium sanden heat pump or rheem heat pump hot water unit.
Typical hot water system price or cost will vary with size and brand, but the running cost difference is where Walmsley homes really win. As a guide, many households can expect average annual bill savings like:
• Old electric to heat pump hot water system: $350–$700 per year • Gas storage to heat pump: $250–$600 per year • Gas storage to solar hot water system: $250–$600 per year • Old electric to modern electric hot water system run on rooftop solar: $200–$500 per year
