Hot Water Rebates, Tariffs & Savings

For Commissioners Creek homeowners, the numbers look even better once you factor in incentives. Federal Small‑scale Technology Certificates (STCs) reduce the upfront solar hot water price / cost and heat pump hot water price / cost, while NSW‑based schemes can add a generous heat pump hot water rebate or solar hot water rebate on top. For some homes, these discounts can effectively trim the system cost by 30–50%, bringing a quality solar hot water system or heat pump into reach. There are also electric hot water system rebate options in some programs when you are replacing gas or very inefficient units.

When you combine rebates with smart tariffs, timers and solar‑diversion controls, it is possible to shave hundreds of dollars a year off bills and cut the payback period significantly. A well‑sized solar hot water heating system or heat pump hot water system, run mostly on rooftop solar, can become the most efficient hot water system for your property, dramatically reducing the lifetime hot water system price / cost compared with sticking with gas. If you are comparing electric hot water vs gas hot water, remember that modern electric hot water installation, paired with solar, can be cheaper to run and far cleaner over the long term.

If your current unit is leaking, unreliable, or you are due for a solar hot water tank replacement or hot water repair, it can be the ideal moment to look at a full hot water upgrade.
