Hot Water Rebates, Tariffs & Savings

For many Ambergate households, the trigger to replace an old gas or electric hot water system is a sudden failure or a jump in bills. More locals are using that moment to upgrade to a heat pump hot water system, a modern electric hot water system designed to work with solar, or a solar hot water system that takes advantage of our strong sunshine. Federal incentives such as Small‑scale Technology Certificates (STCs) effectively lower the upfront solar hot water price or heat pump hot water price by hundreds of dollars at the point of sale. On top of that, state‑based hot water rebate WA programs may apply at times, including a heat pump hot water rebate, solar hot water rebate or electric hot water system rebate for eligible homes.

When you combine rebates with a competitive solar hot water price / cost or heat pump hot water price / cost, the payback period can shrink to just a few years, especially if you use timers or solar diversion so your hot water system runs when your rooftop solar is generating. Many households see total hot water system price / cost effectively reduced by a substantial percentage once incentives are applied, then enjoy hundreds of dollars a year off bills. Choosing quality brands such as Rheem solar hot water, Rinnai solar hot water, Thermann or a premium Sanden heat pump and keeping up with hot water repair and servicing helps ensure reliability for the long term.
