Reduce energy use and lower your hot water running costs.
Is your water heater expensive to run? Want to make better use of rooftop solar or switch to a more energy-efficient system?
Our hot water specialists can compare suitable gas, electric, solar and heat pump systems based on your household usage, property and budget.

The most efficient water heater is not necessarily the same for every home.
Hot water usage varies according to household size, shower habits, appliance use and the number of outlets operating at the same time.
An undersized system may run out of hot water, while an oversized storage system may waste energy heating water your household does not need.
We consider your household usage, existing energy supply, available installation space, rooftop solar and budget before recommending a system.
If your existing system is old, unreliable or expensive to operate, replacement may provide an opportunity to reduce future energy costs.
Depending on your property and household, suitable options may include:
If gas hot water is your last remaining gas appliance, switching to an all-electric system may also allow you to investigate disconnecting the gas supply and avoiding ongoing connection charges.
Small changes to your system, settings and usage can help reduce wasted energy.
Choose a water heater that can meet your household’s needs without heating and storing more water than necessary.
Suitable timers, operating schedules and electricity tariffs may reduce costs without affecting your hot water supply.
Use electricity generated during the day to heat and store water for use later in the evening or the following morning.
Correct maintenance can identify faults, heat loss and worn components that may reduce system performance.
Compare available technologies before choosing your next water heater.
An appropriately sized electric system can be scheduled to operate when rooftop solar is generating electricity.
Heat pumps transfer heat from the surrounding air into the water, using considerably less electricity than conventional electric storage systems.
Roof-mounted collectors capture heat from the sun, reducing the electricity or gas required to provide household hot water.
Instantaneous systems heat water on demand and avoid the energy used to keep a storage tank hot throughout the day.
An ageing water heater may consume more energy, become less reliable and require increasingly frequent repairs.
Older systems can sometimes be repaired, but replacement may offer better long-term value.
Planning ahead gives you time to compare suitable systems and make an informed decision before your existing water heater fails.
Eligible NSW households and small businesses may receive an incentive when replacing an existing gas or electric water heater with an approved heat pump.
Eligible heat pump and solar hot water systems may also qualify for federal incentives through Small-scale Technology Certificates.
As Accredited Providers under the heat pump rebate program, we can check your eligibility, manage the paperwork and apply available savings upfront.
The enhanced NSW heat pump incentive is scheduled to end in June 2027 but may close earlier if its allocated funding is exhausted. Federal incentive values also reduce each year.
Hot Water RebatesRegular servicing can identify faults that increase energy use.
Leaks, sediment, worn valves, failing components and incorrect settings can affect your water heater’s performance and running costs.
Maintenance requirements vary between system types and manufacturers. A major service is commonly recommended approximately every five years, but you should follow the schedule specified for your particular system.
Servicing should be completed by appropriately licensed technicians. Correct maintenance can support safe operation, extend system life and help preserve the terms of the manufacturer’s warranty.
Our specialists can assess your existing water heater and explain whether servicing, repairing or replacing it offers the best value.
