ELECTRIFY YOUR HOME AND SAVE!

With governments at every level looking to push Australian residents towards highly efficient, electric only homes a few South Australian councils have begun schemes to help ease the cost of making this transition.

This works perfectly for hot water as there are already state and federal based schemes for moving to a more efficient system (ie. a heat pump hot water system), and for upgrading in properties that no longer have a gas connection. What this means is that if you are a resident of the Adelaide City, Onkaparinga, or Holdfast Bay Councils you could be eligible for three separate rebates (up to a max of $2,773) to upgrade from your existing gas hot water system to a more efficient heat pump style system.

Adelaide City Council?

$747.50 inc GST!^

Including 50% of your total supply and install cost back up to $200!*

How does it work?

If you currently have a gas hot water system installed in your home in one of the eligible areas and upgrade to a heat pump system you are entitled to;

  • $1,017 from the Retailer Energy Productivity Scheme (REPS) for installing an energy efficient heat pump system and getting rid of gas connection to the house ($330 if you choose to leave the gas connected)

  • $756 in Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) from the federal government (varies depending on exact product installed)

  • Up to $1,000 (City of Adelaide) or $200 (Holdfast Bay) from your local council for replacing a gas powered appliance to electric or solar powered
