Hot Water Rebates, Tariffs & Savings

With power prices in NSW under pressure, more Louth Park households are replacing tired gas or resistive electric units with efficient options like heat pumps, new electric hot water system models or a solar hot water system. Federal incentives, such as Small‑scale Technology Certificates (STCs), apply to eligible heat pump and solar hot water systems and effectively act as an upfront solar hot water rebate or heat pump hot water rebate, reducing the solar hot water price or heat pump hot water price at the point of sale. On top of that, state programs can offer a hot water rebate nsw for qualifying households, and some efficient electric hot water system rebate schemes are aimed at helping homes move away from gas.

When you stack these incentives together, it is common for discounts to slice a substantial percentage off the installed hot water system cost, shortening payback periods to just a few years. Many Louth Park homes further boost savings by running their hot water on timers, using solar diversion, or pairing a heat pump with rooftop PV so they are heating water when the sun is out. For some, that combination turns a new system into the best heat pump hot water system for their situation, even if the upfront heat pump hot water cost is higher than a basic electric hot water installation.

If you are in Louth Park and wondering whether to stick with gas, go all‑electric, or choose between solar hot water vs electric hot water, now is a good time to look closely at your options.
