Hot Water Rebates, Tariffs & Savings
Across Woodleigh Gardens, interest is growing in replacing old gas or electric units with efficient options like a heat pump hot water system, modern electric hot water system or solar hot water system. Australian Government Small‑scale Technology Certificates (STCs) can reduce the effective solar hot water price / cost or heat pump hot water price / cost by hundreds of dollars at the point of sale. On top of that, Territory and other state‑based programmes periodically offer a solar hot water rebate, heat pump hot water rebate or electric hot water system rebate that can further trim the upfront hot water system price / cost. For many homes, these hot water rebate NT incentives mean the payback period on a hot water upgrade drops to just a few years, especially if you use timers or solar diversion so your energy efficient hot water system runs mostly on your own rooftop solar.
Whether you need hot water installation, hot water repair, or solar hot water repair, it pays to think long term about efficiency. The best heat pump hot water system or solar hot water heating system for your place will depend on roof space, existing solar, tariffs and how your family uses hot water.
