Hot Water Rebates, Tariffs & Savings

For North Eradu homeowners, the appeal of moving from gas to an all‑electric home is growing, especially as more properties add rooftop solar. Whether you are considering a new solar hot water system, a rheem heat pump hot water unit, rinnai solar hot water, or an upgraded electric hot water system, there are several hot water rebate WA options that can help. At a Federal level, Small‑scale Technology Certificates (STCs) effectively discount qualifying heat pumps and solar hot water heating systems at the point of sale, bringing down the solar hot water price or cost and the heat pump hot water price or cost. WA schemes and retailer incentives can stack on top of that, and in some cases an electric hot water system rebate or specific heat pump hot water rebate can reduce upfront costs by a sizeable percentage. For many North Eradu households, that means payback periods can drop to just a few years, especially if you run your hot water during the day with timers or solar‑diversion controls. Over the life of the system, that can mean thousands of dollars in savings compared with traditional electric hot water vs gas hot water.

If your current hot water system is ageing, noisy, or driving up your power bills, now is a good time to see whether a heat pump hot water system, rheem solar hot water, sanden heat pump or chromagen solar hot water setup is right for your North Eradu property.
