Solar Hot Water systems.

Lower running costs using energy from the air and the sun.

Heat Pump Hot Water

A heat pump works like a reverse air conditioner. It draws heat from the surrounding air and transfers it into the water, using far less electricity than a standard electric element. Mandurah's mild coastal climate suits heat pumps well.

• Lower running costs than standard electric
• No roof panels needed
• Pairs well with rooftop solar when timed to run during the day
• Compressor makes some noise, so placement matters near bedrooms

Solar Hot Water

Solar hot water uses roof collectors to heat water, with a gas or electric booster for cloudy days. With plenty of sunshine in Mandurah, solar can supply much of a household's hot water.

• Very low running costs in sunny conditions
• Needs suitable north-facing roof space
• Boost type (gas or electric) affects running costs
