Hot Water Rebates, Tariffs & Savings
Right now, many Reedy Swamp households are weighing up heat pump vs solar hot water, or considering solar hot water vs electric hot water as they move away from gas. Australian Government Small‑scale Technology Certificates (STCs) can reduce the solar hot water price / cost and heat pump hot water price / cost at the point of sale, effectively cutting the system cost by a substantial percentage. On top of that, state‑based hot water rebate NSW programs may offer a heat pump hot water rebate, solar hot water rebate or even an electric hot water system rebate when replacing old gas or electric units with an energy efficient hot water system.
With the right choice of system, it is common to save hundreds of dollars a year on bills, and when rebates and existing rooftop solar are combined, the payback period on a new solar hot water heating system or heat pump can be cut significantly. Smart controls, timers and solar diversion can push savings even further by heating water when solar is abundant or tariffs are lowest.
