Hot Water Systems in Wellard

Hot water systems in Wellard

Across Wellard, more households are rethinking their hot water system and moving to energy efficient options like a heat pump hot water system, a solar hot water system or a modern electric hot water system. With most homes here being separate houses and an average household size of around three people, hot water demand is solid year round. At the same time, many families are juggling a median mortgage of about $1,820 a month, so reducing running costs without sacrificing comfort just makes sense.

Wellard is well placed for efficient hot water upgrades. Local solar exposure averages about 19 MJ/m² a day over the year, which works out to roughly 5.3 kWh/m² per day of sunshine. That strong WA sun is ideal for a solar hot water heating system, and also helps a heat pump hot water system run more efficiently, especially when paired with rooftop solar. With more than 5,600 dwellings and a big share of households owning with a mortgage, upgrading from older gas or electric units to the most efficient hot water system can deliver meaningful annual hot water energy savings for Wellard families.

In 6170, most homes are three or four bedroom places, often with kids, so showers, baths and laundry all add up. Hot water can be one of the biggest chunks of your power bill, especially if you are still on an old electric storage tank or gas unit. Switching to an energy efficient hot water system, such as Rheem heat pump hot water, a Sanden heat pump or a quality Rheem solar hot water or Rinnai solar hot water setup, can cut usage dramatically while keeping everyone in hot showers. For some homes, a carefully sized modern electric hot water system, timed to run on solar, is also a smart option.

To give you a feel for the numbers, here are typical annual bill savings Wellard households might see when they upgrade their hot water installation:

• Old electric to heat pump hot water installation: save roughly $350–$700 per year. • Gas to heat pump hot water system: save around $250–$600 per year. • Gas to solar hot water installation: save about $200–$550 per year. • Old electric to efficient electric hot water installation with solar: save roughly $250–$500 per year.

Hot Water Rebates, Tariffs & Savings
