Hot Water Rebates, Tariffs & Savings
With power prices rising, more Coondoo households are asking whether to choose a heat pump hot water system, a solar hot water system, or a modern electric hot water system rebate‑eligible upgrade when their old gas hot water finally fails. Federal incentives such as 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. On top of that, Queensland hot water rebate programs and other state‑based schemes at times support efficient hot water QLD upgrades, including certain electric hot water system rebate offers, solar hot water rebate options and specific heat pump hot water rebate incentives.
