To help combat climate change and promote energy-efficient technologies, the New South Wales (NSW) state government has a range of ‘energy efficiency’ rebates and incentives available. One of these is the Heat Pump Hot Water Rebate programme. 

The programme has been set up to allow eligible homeowners and businesses to install sustainable hot water heating systems, such as heat pumps. Through initiatives like this and its other Energy Saving Scheme (ESS) rebates, the NSW government is pro-actively helping combat greenhouse gas emissions and contribute towards a more sustainable future.

About the heat pump hot water rebate programme

The NSW Heat Pump Hot Water Rebate Programme is part of the state government’s Energy Saving Scheme. It is a collaborative venture between the NSW government and local utilities designed to encourage and support community transition towards cleaner and more energy-efficient water heating solutions and appliances. 

Under this programme, eligible businesses and households with electric or gas hot water systems can receive a generous rebate for replacing them with approved energy-efficient systems, such as a heat pump hot water system. 

To guarantee the success of the programme, and maximise its impact, the NSW government has partnered with heat pump manufacturers and certified installers to provide and install a range of high-quality, energy-efficient systems that meet stringent performance standards. This partnership aims to guarantee that all customers benefit from high-quality, efficient products and professional installation services.

Efficient energy group committed to green heating and hot water solutions

Leading energy-saving solutions provider Efficient Energy Group is likewise committed to delivering energy efficient, environmentally sustainable heating and hot water solutions to NSW households and businesses. CEO Joshua Liptak commented that the company has a “vision to reduce carbon footprints whilst saving our clients money at the same time. 

To this end, we are dedicated to educating customers about the many government incentives available for energy-saving upgrades, like the Heat Pump Hot Water Rebate NSW programme.” He added that, “heat pump hot water systems are definitely a game-changer in terms of energy efficiency and cost savings due to the highly efficient way they operate. 

An efficient heat pump can produce 10 to 15 times more energy than it uses. This translates to something like a 600% efficiency in heat delivery vs the 50 – 95% efficiency of a gas heater. If the electricity source is renewable, this further reduces the greenhouse gas emissions of the system.”

Claiming a NSW heat pump hot water rebate

The NSW Heat Pump Hot Water Rebate is available to all residential and commercial property owners across NSW who meet the eligibility criteria. Homeowners and businesses interested in participating can apply through the NSW Government’s Climate And Energy Action Website, directly with their local utility provider, or via an approved contractor like Efficient Energy Group. 

Successful applicants will receive a rebate that covers a significant portion of the cost of purchasing and installing an approved energy-efficient hot water system. “We encourage all residents and businesses in NSW to explore the opportunities offered by the Energy Savings Scheme and take advantage of the financial incentives available,” added Efficient Energy Group CEO Joshua Liptak. 

“Not only will these upgrades lead to significant cost savings, but they also play a vital role in building a greener and more energy-efficient future for New South Wales, and Australia, generally. At EEG, we can help eligible businesses, households access the Hot Water, and other ESS rebates, and decide on the most suitable products for their circumstances.”
