Hot Water Rebates, Tariffs & Savings
Right now, hot water NSW homeowners are strongly encouraged to move away from old gas or power hungry electric units towards efficient options like heat pump hot water installation, modern electric hot water system rebate offers, or a quality solar hot water system. Federal incentives such as Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) apply to eligible heat pump and solar hot water systems, effectively acting as a solar hot water rebate or heat pump hot water rebate that cuts the upfront hot water system price. NSW schemes can further reduce the heat pump hot water price or solar hot water price, especially for households replacing inefficient electric or gas units.
For many Springvale homes, these hot water rebate NSW programs can trim the system cost by a substantial percentage and shorten payback to just a few years, especially if you already have rooftop solar or use timers and solar diversion to run your electric or rheem solar hot water, rinnai solar hot water or chromagen solar hot water during the day. Over the life of the system, that can mean thousands saved in bills plus lower emissions from day one.
If your current unit is older, noisy or needing regular hot water repair, it is a good time to look at a hot water system upgrade.
