Hot Water Rebates, Tariffs & Savings

Around Cheero Point there is growing interest in replacing older gas units and ageing cylinders with efficient upgrades such as a heat pump hot water system, a new solar hot water heating system or a better controlled electric hot water system. Homeowners may be able to access Australian Government incentives through Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs), plus state-based heat pump hot water rebate and solar hot water rebate programs, and in some cases an electric hot water system rebate. These incentives can effectively knock a substantial percentage off the upfront hot water system price or solar hot water price, and reduce the heat pump hot water price enough that payback periods are often only a few years.
