Hot Water Rebates, Tariffs & Savings
For Withcott homeowners, the numbers get even better once you factor in rebates. Federal incentives like Small‑scale Technology Certificates (STCs) can significantly cut the solar hot water price / cost or heat pump hot water price / cost at the point of sale. On top of that, QLD hot water rebate programs for efficient units – including a heat pump hot water rebate, solar hot water rebate or electric hot water system rebate in some schemes – can further reduce the upfront hot water system price / cost by a substantial percentage. When you combine rebates with good solar, many households see payback periods fall to just a few years, especially if you use timers or solar‑diversion controls so your electric hot water installation or solar hot water heating system runs mainly on daytime sun. For many families in Withcott, that translates to hundreds of dollars off bills every year and a noticeable drop in emissions.
