Hot Water Rebates, Tariffs & Savings

Interest in replacing old gas or electric hot water with efficient options is growing again as more Ginninderra Village residents hear about hot water rebate ACT programs and federal incentives. The Australian Government’s Small‑scale Technology Certificates (STCs) reduce upfront solar hot water price or cost and heat pump hot water price or cost by effectively discounting the system at the point of sale.
