Hot Water Rebates, Tariffs & Savings
Homeowners in Stokers Siding are increasingly replacing old gas or resistive electric units with efficient options like heat pump hot water, modern electric hot water systems and solar hot water. Federal incentives such as Small‑scale Technology Certificates (STCs) apply to eligible solar hot water systems and heat pump hot water installations, effectively cutting the solar hot water price / cost or heat pump hot water price / cost at the point of sale. On top of that, state‑based hot water rebate NSW programs can include a heat pump hot water rebate, solar hot water rebate or even an electric hot water system rebate when moving away from gas.
These discounts can reduce the system cost by a substantial percentage, trimming thousands off a premium system in some cases.
