Your Hot Water Questions

frequently asked questions

What type of hot water system is best for my home? (electric gas solar or heat pump)2025-07-22T07:28:23+10:00

The best system depends on your household size, energy goals, budget, and roof orientation. Here’s a quick breakdown:

  • Electric Hot Water Systems
    Best for: Small households, low upfront cost
    Pros: Affordable to install, reliable
    Cons: Higher running costs (especially on peak power)
    Tip: Use off-peak tariffs or pair with solar
  • Gas Hot Water Systems
    Best for: Homes with natural gas connection
    Pros: Continuous flow, quick recovery
    Cons: Requires gas supply, less eco-friendly
  • Solar Hot Water Systems
    Best for: Homes with good roof space and sun exposure
    Pros: Lowest running costs, eco-friendly, rebate eligible
    Cons: Higher upfront cost, booster needed during cloudy periods
  • Heat Pump Hot Water Systems
    Best for: Energy-conscious homes without solar access
    Pros: Highly efficient, low running costs
    Cons: Higher initial cost, can be noisier
What size hot water system do I need?2025-07-22T07:29:41+10:00

System size depends on your household and usage habits. As a general rule:

👉 50 litres per person per day

This includes water for:

  • Showers
  • Handwashing
  • Dishwashing
  • Laundry (if using hot water)

Other considerations:

  • High-use homes may need 60–70L per person
  • Low-use or water-efficient homes may use 40L or less
  • For continuous flow systems, flow rate (L/min) is more important than tank size
Are heat pumps or solar systems worth it in my area?2025-07-22T07:31:47+10:00

Yes! In most of South East QLD—including the Sunshine Coast—solar and heat pump systems offer great savings.

System Type Energy Savings Avg. Annual Savings
Solar (with booster) 60–90% $300–$700+
Heat Pump 70–80% $250–$600+
What is the upfront cost of the system?2025-07-22T07:33:05+10:00
System Type Installed Cost STC Rebates Notes
Electric Storage $1,200 – $3,000+ Cheapest, but high running cost
Gas (Storage/Instant) $1,200 – $2,500+ ❌ / Limited Great if already on mains gas
Solar Hot Water $4,000 – $7,500+ Ideal for sunny roofs
Heat Pump $2,800 – $7,500+ Efficient & flexible placement
Hot much does a heat pump cost to run?2025-07-22T07:34:29+10:00
  • Uses 65–80% less energy than electric
  • Runs efficiently on just 1–2 kWh/day
  • Ideal for pairing with solar systems
  • Can cost as little as $50–$100/year with solar
Are there any rebates or government incentives in QLD?2025-07-22T07:35:22+10:00

Yes—currently, the main incentive is the Federal Government’s Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (STCs).

  • Applies to solar and heat pump hot water systems
  • Can save $648–$820+ depending on your location and system
  • Most installers (including us) apply this as an upfront discount
