Hot Water Rebates, Tariffs & Savings
Rising gas and electricity prices mean more Jackson North households are asking whether an energy efficient hot water system is worth it. The answer is often yes, especially when you stack rebates on top of the long‑term savings. Federal incentives through Small‑scale Technology Certificates (STCs) can cut the effective solar hot water price / cost or heat pump hot water price / cost by a substantial percentage at the point of sale. On top of that, Queensland hot water rebate QLD programs and electric hot water system rebate offers for eligible heat pump and solar units can bring the upfront hot water system price / cost down even further.
For many homes, that can turn a five‑ to eight‑year payback into something closer to three to five years, particularly if you run your electric hot water installation or heat pump on a timer or use solar diversion to soak up excess rooftop generation. The result is a hot water system that can save hundreds of dollars a year, cut emissions and avoid the volatility of gas. If you are comparing electric hot water vs gas hot water, or solar hot water vs electric hot water, it is worth looking at the lifetime costs, not just the sticker price.
