The New South Wales (NSW) and Victorian state governments offer various ‘energy efficiency’ rebates and incentives to eligible businesses and households in those states to help combat climate change, promote energy-efficient technologies, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The Heat Pump Hot Water Rebate (NSW) and the Hot Water Rebate (Vic) are two of the rebates available through these schemes. The rebates are designed to pro-actively help eligible homeowners and businesses in NSW and Victoria install sustainable hot water heating systems, like heat pumps, to not only combat climate change but also help reduce energy use and lower power bills.

About heat pump hot water rebates in NSW And Victoria

The Heat Pump Hot Water Rebate (NSW) and Hot Water Rebate (Vic) are part of the Energy Saving Scheme (ESS) and Solar Homes Programme (SHP) in NSW and Victoria, respectively. Notably, through these rebates, eligible businesses and households with an old hot water system can get a substantial reimbursement on the cost of replacing it (including purchase and installation) with an approved new top-quality energy-efficient system, such as a heat pump.

Efficient Energy Group CEO Josh Liptak notes that “ESS and SHP have both been made possible through partnerships between the state governments, local utilities, manufacturers, and certified installers in each state. In particular, these joint initiatives are aimed at encouraging and supporting local communities to transition to cleaner, more energy-efficient solutions and appliances across a range of energy-use situations. Through these partnerships, customers will receive quality, energy-efficient products that comply with stringent performance benchmarks and are installed by certified professionals. That’s important because it means peace of mind for customers.”

Local Company Efficient Energy Group Is Just As Committed To Energy Efficient Hot Water Solutions

Efficient Energy Group is a leading provider of energy-saving solutions with a steadfast commitment to providing energy-efficient, environmentally sustainable heating and hot water solutions to NSW and Victorian households and businesses. CEO Joshua Liptak says his company not only wants to reduce carbon footprints but also “save our clients money on their energy costs across the board. To that end, we not only provide advice and certified installation services for these products but are also committed to educating consumers about the many government rebates and incentives available for energy-saving upgrades, like the Heat Pump Hot Water Rebate and Hot Water Rebate schemes in NSW and Victoria.”

He further notes that “old hot water systems are incredibly power hungry and can be responsible for up to one-fifth of our total energy consumption. Swapping them for energy-efficient systems, like heat pumps, not only makes sense from an environmental perspective but can also significantly reduce power bills. In our experience, this can amount to several hundred dollars saved each year just on water heating costs alone! “

Claiming A NSW Or Victorian Heat Pump Hot Water Rebate

The NSW and Victorian rebates for heat pump hot water systems are available to eligible residential and commercial property owners in NSW and eligible households in Victoria. Interested NSW homeowners and businesses can apply through the NSW Government’s Climate and Energy Action Website, their local utility provider, or an approved contractor such as Efficient Energy Group. In Victoria, applications go through the state government’s hot water rebate portal.

Say Liptak, “We encourage residents and businesses in these 2 states, and indeed anywhere in Australia, to consider the energy-efficiency upgrade opportunities offered by schemes like the ESS and VEU and take advantage of whatever they are eligible for. These schemes are designed to not only help reduce Australia’s carbon footprint and greenhouse gas emissions, but also assist you in reducing your energy use and energy costs. Efficient Energy Group can assist eligible businesses and households in NSW and Victoria with accessing the ESS and Victorian Energy Upgrades rebates, help determine the best products for your needs, and arrange the installation work.”
