Heat Pump Hot Water Heaters
Coffs Harbour
Heat-pump hot water systems work in a similar way to reverse-cycle air conditioners when run on a heating cycle, but heat water instead of the air inside your home. They use a refrigeration cycle to extract heat from the surrounding air and then use a heat exchanger to heat water in an insulated storage cylinder. These systems typically use around 60 to 75% less electricity than a conventional electric hot water system. This is because the electricity is used to operate the heat pump and doesn’t heat the water directly with an element.
Heat Pumps are now becoming increasingly popular when compared to a solar hot water systems. This is because they can be just as energy efficient yet cost almost half the upfront price installed. Due to this, many people are now converting from solar hot water to heat pumps throughout the Coffs Harbour region. These great units are now even more affordable thanks to new Government Incentivised Rebates for Heat Pump Upgrades in NSW.

Government Rebates for Heat Pump Upgrades in NSW.
Rebates and financial incentives are offered Australia wide at a federal and state level for using hot water heaters powered by renewable energy. Additional rebates may be available from state governments or local councils.
Upgrade to a Heat Pump Hot Water System through Coffs Hot Water Service and you may be eligible for a Government solar hot water rebate. Rebates are financial incentives created to encourage investment in renewable energy sources such as Heat Pump Hot Water Systems. The amount of Rebate you are eligible for varies depending on the type of system you are upgrading from and your home location within NSW.
Save hundreds on your energy bill.
The cost of heating water can be upward of $10,000 over 10 years (not to mention the damage it’s doing to the environment). The New South Wales ESS works with companies like us to provide Sydney homes with a much more energy efficent hot water system upgrade, to help Australians like you save thousands each year.
What are STCs?
STCs (Small Scale Technology Certificates) are rebates available nationally that can offset the initial cost of your CO2 Heat Pump Hot Water System. An STC is a measure of renewable energy that can be traded for cash, or a discount, on the purchase price of a hot water system. Each STC represents a megawatt hour (MWh) per year of electricity displaced by an eligible system. To ensure STCs are valid, they must be created within 12 months of the system being installed. Australia is divided into five STC rebate zones based on how much renewable energy can be generated by a heat pump system in a given area.
