Hot Water Rebates, Tariffs & Savings
Right now, more Garangula households are looking at replacing old gas or electric units with a heat pump hot water system, updated electric hot water system or solar hot water system. Federal incentives through Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) and state-based schemes can act like a solar hot water rebate, heat pump hot water rebate or electric hot water system rebate, depending on what you choose. These hot water rebate NSW programs effectively cut the upfront hot water system price or heat pump hot water price by a substantial margin, and can also reduce the solar hot water price or cost of an electric hot water installation.
For many homes, combining rebates with rooftop solar and smart timers can trim payback times to just a few years, with typical savings of hundreds of dollars a year. Using timers or solar-diversion controls to run a heat pump during the middle of the day makes it an energy efficient hot water system that turns excess solar into free hot showers, and can even make solar hot water vs electric hot water a closer call if you already have good PV.
