by Joshua L. Energy expertHeat Pumps And A Government Hot Water Rebate In NSW?
With rising concerns over energy costs and the environmental impacts of
traditional energy generation, many NSW homeowners (like you) are looking for
ways to not just make your homes more energy-efficient but also save money on
your energy bills. The State government has recognised these concerns, and come
to the party with a range of rebates and incentives designed to help do both.
Reduce the environmental impact of energy generation by encouraging the uptake
of energy efficient equipment, AND lower your energy costs.
So yes – there is a government hot water rebate in NSW! It is a
not-to-be-missed opportunity to affordably upgrade your old energy
guzzling hot water system to a brand new solar or heat pump
system. Read on if you are keen to find out more about this NSW government
rebate hot water system upgrade opportunity…
Hot Water System Upgrade NSW – Driving Change
As part of its drive to promote energy efficiency, reduce greenhouse gases
and carbon footprints, and help NSW homeowners slash power bills, the NSW
government has introduced various rebates and incentives. One of them is the
heat pump hot water rebate, or more correctly – the Hot Water System Upgrade
rebate.
What Are Your Upgrade Options Under The Hot Water System
Rebate?
The hot water system government rebate is part of the NSW Energy Savings Scheme (ESS). Its main aim is to encourage households and businesses to upgrade ‘old school’ electric or gas hot water systems to a more sustainable solar or heat pump hot water system.
Solar hot water systems are a popular option and many Australian households
already have one. They are efficient, cost-effective, environmentally
sustainable, and proven technology. However, heat pump hot water systems are
gaining traction with households looking for reliable, affordable hot water
solutions because – rain, hail, or shine – they can heat water 24/7, 365 days
of the year.
Why Choose A Heat Pump Hot Water System Upgrade?
Heat pumps can supply hot water at any time of the day or night because they
don’t rely on direct sunlight (or a booster or back up system when there’s no
sun). Instead, they draw in ambient heat from the air and thermally transfer
that heat to your water. As a result, they can still produce hot water at
night, on rainy days, and in the middle of winter in most parts of Australia.
Furthermore, heat pumps are incredibly energy efficient because, unlike
traditional hot water systems, they don’t use gas or electricity to heat water.
As this process is the most energy-intensive part of old systems, and where
most of your hot water heating expense is incurred, switching to a heat pump
system will reduce your overall power bill. In many cases it be by as much as
50%…
Heat Pump Hot Water System Rebate NSW Cost?
Common questions homeowners typically ask about the NSW water heater rebate
include – “how much is the rebate and
who is eligible for it?”
How Much Is The NSW Water Heater Rebate?
The rebate amount varies depending on the type and size system you choose.
There is also a co-contribution amount required. But – the good news is –
although it doesn’t provide a completely free hot water system, the NSW
government hot water rebate still offers significant savings for homeowners who
are considering their hot water system replacement options.
For example, through this rebate, eligible NSW households can upgrade to a
Midea 170L heat pump, or 200L split system heat pump, for a co-contribution
payment of just $199. This is hundreds of dollars off the regular retail price
of these units, and includes all installation costs by a licensed, insured
installer as well!
Assessing Your Eligibility For The Water Heater Rebate NSW
If you are a NSW householder with an electric or gas hot water system, you
may qualify for the NSW government hot water rebate. However, you will need to

Further to this, your installation must be done by a qualified, insured
installer, which your approved supplier will arrange as part of the rebate.
