Read on for info about New South Wales' rebates for investment in Solar hot water systems.
How much rebate will you get?
If your system is gas powered and has a 5 star or higher rating then you’ll get $300.
If it’s a solar or heat pump water system which is eligible for a minimum of 20 RECsthen you’ll get $300. You will be able to get more information on the number of RECs that your system is eligible for from your installer.
Are you eligible for a rebate?
In order to qualify for a rebate in NSW you must replace an existing electric generated hot water system in a residential property. The system must be purchased and installed between 15th Jan 2010 and 30th June 2011. Furthermore the new system has to be installed by a plumber licensed in NSW.
If your new system is being installed to comply with the Building Sustainability Index or in a new home then you will not be eligible for the rebate. There is also a limit of one rebate per property.
Post 15th Jan 2010 a cap has been set on the amount of NSW Home Saver Rebates that a household can receive. This cap is currently at $1500.
How do I claim my rebate?
In NSW the rebate is applied for after the system has been fully installed.
- In order to claim your rebate, you will need to read and agree to the terms and conditions which are available on the NSW Government web page
- You will also need to complete the Hot Water System Rebate application form which can also be found on the NSW Government homepage. Some sections of this will need to be completed by your licensed plumber, but they should be quite used to doing this.
- Send the completed forms (together with a copy of your receipt for both the system and the installation attached) to NSWHome SaverRebates - Hot Water RebatePO Box A290 Sydney South NSW 1232.
Remember that you can elect how to have the rebate paid, so it will either be a direct deposit into your nominated bank account or by a cheque. Also remember that you must apply for your rebate within six months of the installation date (or before 5pm on 30th September 2011, whichever is sooner) or your application will not be processed.
How long does it take to get the rebate?
Receipt of your rebate application will be acknowledged and most payments are turned around within 60 days. If it takes much longer than this make sure to contact the Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water to ensure your application has not been mislaid.
