Heat pumps are becoming increasingly popular for Perth homes and, with the exception of solar hot water systems, they are the only hot water system to receive federal rebates.
About Heat Pumps
Heat pump hot water systems use heat in the air to heat water. Think of them like a reverse refrigeration unit – using heat exchange to transfer heat in the air to water in the storage unit, even on the coldest days. This system is highly energy efficient and cost effective.
Heat pumps are ideal if you don’t have roof space or suitable orientation to install solar hot water panels and you don’t have a natural gas supply. Heat pumps do not require sunshine to work.
Whilst the initial purchase price is higher than some other types of hot water system, federal rebates (STCs) offset around one fifth of the cost of the system. STCs (Small-scale Technology Certificates) are determined by a government body, ORER, and more STCs are awarded for more efficient systems. Rinnai’s RIN250EHP is very efficient, consequently it attracts high STCs. STCs trade at around $20-38 each. The value of each STC varies frequently depending upon supply and demand. Green Energy trade STCs and you can view their current STC rate online. The STC price is granted at the date of installation. For combined supply and installation jobs the STCs are usually deducted from the purchase price of the system. We also provide supply only and plonk on heat pump hot water systems. For Supply Only or Plonk On jobs, you are only charged the retail price and you claim back the STCs once your system is installed. Supply Only prices exclude delivery charges.
