Hot Water Rebates, Tariffs & Savings
Right now, there is growing interest in Mount Rankin NSW in replacing old gas or electric hot water with efficient options like a new heat pump hot water system, updated electric hot water system or a modern solar hot water heating system. Federal incentives such as Small‑scale Technology Certificates (STCs) apply to eligible solar hot water and heat pump systems, effectively acting as an upfront solar hot water rebate or heat pump hot water rebate that reduces the hot water system price or cost at installation. On top of that, NSW hot water rebate programs can further lower the heat pump hot water price or cost for qualifying households.
For many Mount Rankin homes, these discounts can trim the solar hot water price or cost or heat pump upgrade by 20–40%, and typical savings of hundreds of dollars per year on bills mean payback periods can be surprisingly short, especially if you already have rooftop solar.
