Hot Water Rebates, Tariffs & Savings
For Morrisons households looking to move from gas or an ageing electric unit, there is strong support from both Federal and Victorian programs. Eligible solar hot water installation and heat pump hot water installation can create Small‑scale Technology Certificates (STCs), effectively giving you a solar hot water rebate or heat pump hot water rebate off the upfront price. Victoria also offers additional state incentives that can apply to efficient systems, and in some cases an electric hot water system rebate when replacing gas. Together, these discounts can reduce the effective hot water system price or cost by a substantial percentage and shorten payback to just a few years, especially if you already have solar. When you add smart controls, timers or solar‑diversion, you can further trim the heat pump hot water price or cost over time by using more of your own solar energy.
