Hot Water Rebates, Tariffs & Savings
Right now, hot water QLD homeowners are increasingly replacing old gas or tired electric units with efficient options like heat pumps, modern electric hot water systems and solar hot water. Federal incentives such as Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) apply to eligible solar hot water heating systems and many heat pump models, effectively acting as an upfront discount off the hot water system price. On top of that, Queensland hot water rebate programs for heat pumps and solar can further trim the heat pump hot water price or solar hot water price, while some all-electric homes may also benefit from an electric hot water system rebate. Taken together, these hot water rebate QLD incentives can slice a substantial percentage off the installed hot water system cost and shorten payback periods to just a few years, especially if you run the unit on a solar-friendly timer or use solar diversion to soak up excess rooftop generation. When you compare heat pump vs solar hot water, or solar hot water vs electric hot water, it often comes down to upfront cost, roof space and how much solar you already have.
For older systems needing hot water repair, many Wyreema homeowners are choosing to upgrade instead of patching a failing tank.
