Hot Water Rebates, Tariffs & Savings
For Yarrowyck households looking at a heat pump hot water system, solar hot water system or efficient electric hot water vs gas hot water, rebates can make a big difference. Federal Small‑scale Technology Certificates (STCs) lower the effective solar hot water price or heat pump hot water price at the point of sale, and NSW hot water rebate programs can further cut the upfront hot water system cost for eligible homes. There are also electric hot water system rebate offers in some schemes when replacing old, inefficient units.
When you combine a heat pump hot water rebate or solar hot water rebate with STCs, it is common to see the installed heat pump hot water cost or solar hot water price cost reduced by 30–50%. That can shorten payback to just a few years, especially if you already have rooftop solar and use timers or solar diversion to heat water during the day. For many Yarrowyck homes, that means hundreds of dollars off annual bills, while also reducing emissions and making the property more resilient to rising energy prices.
