While most people think solar upgrades should happen in summer, July is actually one of the best times to make the switch—especially here in sunny Queensland.
If you’ve noticed your energy bills creeping up this winter or your current system struggling to keep up with demand, now’s the time to act. At Bar Plumbing, we’ve helped thousands of Queenslanders enjoy warm showers all winter long with reliable, energy-efficient solar hot water systems.
Here’s why winter in Queensland is the perfect time to make the switch—and how we can help you do it with ease.
You might be surprised to learn that even in the middle of winter, Queensland enjoys plenty of sunny days—especially in regions like the Sunshine Coast and Brisbane.
That means solar hot water systems can still operate efficiently, collecting and storing energy during the day to keep your showers warm in the evenings.
Unlike southern states, where winter sun is sparse, Queensland’s mild, sunny winters make it the ideal environment for year-round solar performance.
Between longer showers, warm baths, and increased hot water usage, energy consumption spikes in winter. If you’re on a traditional electric or gas system, chances are your bills are showing it.
Solar hot water can cut your water heating costs by up to 85%, making it a smart, long-term investment for families trying to reduce their expenses without sacrificing comfort.
Winter is typically a quieter time for plumbing services compared to the summer storm season or spring renovation rush. That means faster booking times, more availability, and less waiting around.
At Bar Plumbing, we offer free on-site assessments and flexible installation windows, so you can upgrade your system at a time that suits you.
Right now, there are still rebates and incentives available for Queensland homeowners switching to energy-efficient systems.
When you upgrade with Bar Plumbing, we can guide you through what’s available and help you access eligible savings—so you can get the best system for your home without the paperwork stress.
From system selection and sizing to professional installation and aftercare, our team makes the entire process straightforward. We recommend and install trusted brands like Rheem, ensuring you get a quality system that’s built to last and has outstanding service and warranty backup.
Whether your current hot water system is failing or you’re just ready to reduce your energy bills, we’ll walk you through your options and make sure you get the best fit for your household needs.
Don’t wait for your old system to give out in the middle of winter. Beat the chill and make the switch to a more efficient, reliable solution now.
