You are eligible for the rebate if you replace or upgrade an existing gas or electric hot water heater with an approved heat pump or solar water heater. This can save you thousands (and recoup the initial upfront cost) over the life of the unit due to their lower energy use, and energy subsequent costs.
Heat pumps are a renewable energy solution to hot water for your home (or business) without needing solar panels. Instead of absorbing sun through the panels for energy, heat pumps use a lower amount of electricity to pull in the heat from its surrounding area and use that to heat water in a quick, efficient and energy/cost saving way.
Outside air is pulled into the system by a fan and into an evaporator. The warm air is transferred to the refrigerant gas, a compressor pump compresses the gas and the heat exchanger transfers the heat from gas refrigerant pipes to the water storage tank, resulting in quick heat generation without expending a lot of energy.

Each ESC is one megawatt hour (MWh) saving approved by Accredited Certificate Providers. The NSW Government set an ESC target that incentivises people participating in the Energy Savings Scheme (ESS) to choose energy saving replacements and upgrades.
The government rebate can save you significant money on heat pumps. However, not all heat pumps are of equal quality. We have received numerous calls regarding the poor performance of cheaper brands, especially as the weather cools. Remember, the ESC rebate can only be claimed once per property, so it’s advisable to choose a quality heat pump to fully benefit from the rebate.
