Hot Water Rebates, Tariffs & Savings
With energy prices rising, more Camira homeowners are comparing heat pump vs solar hot water, or considering whether solar hot water vs electric hot water is the better fit for their roof, budget and lifestyle. Many are replacing ageing gas units with a heat pump hot water system or a high efficiency electric hot water system, often paired with rooftop solar.
Several incentives can help. Federal Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) apply to eligible solar hot water installation and heat pump hot water installation, effectively acting as an upfront discount on the solar hot water price / cost or heat pump hot water price / cost. On top of that, NSW hot water rebate programs and other energy efficiency schemes can offer a heat pump hot water rebate, solar hot water rebate or electric hot water system rebate for approved upgrades. Together, these hot water rebate NSW offers can reduce the installed hot water system price / cost by a substantial percentage, often cutting payback times to just a few years.
By combining rebates with off-peak tariffs, timers, or solar diversion, an energy efficient hot water system can easily shave hundreds of dollars a year off bills. If your existing unit is rusting, needing frequent hot water repair, or you are facing a solar hot water tank replacement or solar hot water repair, it is often smarter to upgrade rather than patch an old system.
For many Camira homes, the best heat pump hot water system or a quality chromagen solar hot water or similar unit can deliver reliable, low running cost hot water and support an all-electric home. When you are weighing up electric hot water vs gas hot water, it pays to get advice on tariffs, solar, and future-proofing.
