Even if you are just comparing electric hot water vs gas hot water, it is worth looking at today’s efficient options. A new energy efficient hot water system – whether a heat pump hot water installation, solar hot water installation or electric hot water installation set up to run on solar – can attract Australian Government Small‑scale Technology Certificates (STCs) plus Queensland hot water rebate QLD programs from time to time. These solar hot water rebate and heat pump hot water rebate schemes, along with an electric hot water system rebate in some cases, can knock a substantial chunk off the upfront hot water system price / cost, heat pump hot water price / cost or solar hot water price / cost. For many Hazeldean households, that means saving hundreds of dollars a year on bills and cutting the payback period significantly, especially if you use timers or solar diversion to heat water when your panels are producing.
If your current unit is rusty, noisy or more than 10–12 years old, it is a good time to check whether your Hazeldean home is ready for a hot water upgrade.
