Federal rebates
The Australian Government is helping Australian households install climate friendly hot water technologies. Rebates of $1000 are available in eligible circumstances to install solar and heat pump hot water systems to replace electric storage hot water systems in existing privately owned homes.
The rebate is offered for systems installed on, or after 18 July 2007 until March 2012, subject to the availability of funds.
This measure will mean households can save money and help fight global warming. Water heating is the largest single source of greenhouse gas emissions from the average Australian home, accounting for around 28 per cent of home energy use (excluding the family car).
Installing a climate friendly hot water system can save a family $300 to $700 off electricity bills each year.
