Trying to compare heat pump hot water versus gas for Australian homes, especially during renovations and new builds where you might be rethinking the whole services stack.
I am interested in boring lived-in details more than brochure COP figures: noise, recovery time, install pain, and whether the maths still worked after a year of real tariffs.
Household size, state and climate zone, existing gas connection yes or no, solar PV yes or no, install cost ballpark if you are comfortable, running cost trend, noise, recovery time after visitors, reliability niggles, whether you would pick the same again. Also keen to hear if people are going all-electric on renos or keeping gas for cooktop or heating while only changing hot water.
