Link to DECC Residential Rebate ProgramThe NSW Government has introduced new rebates under its Climate Change Fund for the installation of ceiling insulation and for the replacement of electric hot water systems with climate friendly solar, heat pump or gas systems. The rebates which were introduced on 1 October 2007 form part of the $100 million Residential Rebate Program which was launched on 1 July 2007 with the rebate for rainwater tanks.

To help householders save energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the following rebates are available:-

  • $300 to switch from electric to gas hot water system with a 5-star or higher energy rating; or
  • up to $1200 to switch from an electric to a solar or heat pump hot water system, which is eligible for at least 20 Renewable Energy Certificates; and
  • up to $300 to install ceiling insulation.

The rebates apply to existing homes as new homes will be covered by BASIX (Building Sustainability Index) guidelines.
