Are you a pool owner seeking to maximise your pool’s usability throughout the year, regardless of the season? Well, you’re not alone.
Moving to a quality and efficient hot water heat pump system can cost more than installing a conventional hot water system. To help make the shift you may have access to one or multiple rebates to help reduce the out of pocket expense.
At Adelaide Heat Pumps we offer the eligible rebates as an upfront discount to further help you make the transition to a low energy future.
Small-scale technology certificates, or STCs, are a tradable commodity attached to eligible installations of renewable energy systems (including solar panels, solar water heaters and heat pumps).
Under the Federal Government’s Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES), when you install an eligible system, you may claim a set number of these STCs.
What is an STC worth?
The financial value of an STC is dependent on the supply of and demand for STCs. As a result this value can be variable from day to day. They generally sit between $32 and $36 each. With our Reclaim Energy hot water heat pumps having 32 STC’s that can equate to a discount of up to $1150.
How many STC’s does a hot water heat pump system have ?
The number of STCs within each zone are subject to AS/NZS standards or methodology change. To confirm current STC numbers on our heat pump range contact us or please visit the Australian Government Office of Clean Energy Regulator website. STCs are subject to meeting eligibility and conditions
REES Rebate:
The Retailer Energy Efficiency Scheme (REES) is a South Australian Government energy efficiency scheme that provides incentives for South Australian households and businesses to save energy. It does this through establishing energy efficiency and audit targets to be met by electricity and gas retailers.
