    Correct me if I'm wrong;

    Nothing on combined income, assuming its $66,667 x 2 but… not sure.

    I just spoke to a hot water guy about replacing my gas hot water with a heat pump. He said this rebate is only applicable if I am replacing an electric unit with something more efficient. Is that correct?

    • WhyAmICommenting on 01/09/2023 - 11:03

      Someone else said the same below

    • mduncan2 on 01/09/2023 - 18:34

      I can't see anything starting that the hot water system must be replacing an electric system. It does have a table of energy savings when changing from electric hws to heat pump hws, but that table doesn't appear to be linked to what rebate or appliance you can get.

      • Chris McMahon on 08/08/2023 - 12:37

        Reading the terms and conditions, I see they limit you to one rebate per household, so I guess I missed a $1k rebate not $2k. Still, when I ordered the heat pump HWS, I did note that NSW already had a large rebate on the same system I paid full price for.

    • the hairy bear on 26/08/2023 - 11:21

      I need a chest freezer. It says "Refrigerators (including fridge/freezers). I assumed that meant combined fridge/freezer not standalone freezer. I actually don't have a freezer either right now but how would they know you are replacing an existing one?

      It'd be interesting to do the mark-to-market on your purchase. I bet you couldn't get the deals you got once the subsidy kicks in. It's all going to the retailers' bottom line.

  • MisterQ on 09/08/2023 - 14:54

    Well, this sucks - thought this might be useful. Bought an existing house about 15 months ago. Got rid of two existing wall Acs and put in whole house ducted. Also bought a new fridge. About 3 months ago, Washer Drier were on last legs, so replaced both. Dishwasher works fine (and was recent replacement prior to house purchase) - only option is heat pump hot water. Oh wait, we are on natural gas, on demand hot water, and they specifically say replacing an "electric hot water system". Even though gas prices are up, and we would love a Heat Pump…

    Damn.

  • eman resu on 09/08/2023 - 16:18

    I just noticed my electric water heater from 2003 is leaking. Seems like a good time to replace it. But wow what a price difference. A Dux electric unit 315 L is about $1000. Whereas a heat pump unit is $3000 and a solar unit is $5000, and that is before installation.

    Not sure its worth the upgrade for the rebate. I hear good things about the solar, but the heat pump seems to be a saver, but needs way more servicing. I serviced my water heater once in the last 20 years (leaking relief valve).

  • polbarber on 10/08/2023 - 22:46

    Does anyone know how they are going to pay the rebate?

  • Spennyrich on 16/08/2023 - 10:05

    does this simply mean i register for the rebate, buy a 4 star washing machine for $800, and then get ~$300 back?

      "Appliances that require installation (i.e. air conditioners, solar hot water systems and heat pump hot water systems) must be installed by an appropriately licenced tradesperson."

      Should be able to install it yourself if you're up for it going by that.

  • dins on 04/09/2023 - 09:51

    Refrigerators (or combination fridge/freezers – no stand-alone freezers)

    That bit wasn't there before from what I can recall. Just thought I point that out if anyone was thinking of buying one. Not sure if that includes hybrids as well.

    • frugalferret on 04/09/2023 - 10:31

      It specifically excluded stand alone freezers when I read the conditions a couple of weeks ago.

      No. Or Yes.
      I did it today and got rejected because it's not payed in full. After the 8 weeks it takes to pay it off are over you can apply for the rebate and get rejected because the scheme will be over. It seems it's for low income/disability pensioner people with money in the bank which isn't me. Nearly a year of cancer and sickness - and I just dont have money sitting in the bank. Oh well….

            I lodged my application today and checked through the form for myself. To my understanding, it seems perchase with afterpay/zip is still eligible. So i am surprised deadlywill's application was rejected.

        That can't be right. When you pay via Zip/Afterpay etc the seller still receives the money in full. It's pretty much like a credit card you just have to pay it off afterwards. I think there was some question about whether you paid it in full maybe you selected no and that's why it didn't go through?

        Anyways sorry to hear that you're going through a very tough time hang in there champ wishing you all the very best.

      Don't worry, in Qld we fine drivers that touch their phone $1000+, and the same for each person in a car not wearing a seatbelt. This is a good thing IMO.

      Maybe more fines for stupidity = more rebates for energy efficiency.

      More stupid people = less emissions.

    Beware if this is the same as the NSW scheme. Last time I checked you have to buy from a few select appliance models, which are all at full RRP price which means they are more expensive using the scheme than just waiting and buying the same models when they're on sale. It's ridiculous. It only gives the appearance of getting them cheaper but actually paying more.

    • AaronR on 04/09/2023 - 12:27

        That's good then.

        I looked when it first started in NSW and even the energy stars were the least. So people who just trust what the government says didn't look any deeper and paid more for an appliance that used more energy than others that were cheaper even after the supposed discount.

        So I'm guessing that’s a No then? I cannot claim it as a landlord. "Applicants must: *have purchased and installed an eligible appliance in their residential premises:
