Rebate

NSW hot water circulator rebate

Instantaneous gas hot water systems can waste up to 17,000 litres of water in the average home each year. A hot water circulator is a unit installed with your instantaneous gas hot water system. It recovers wasted water and sends it back into the system to be reheated or used later. The NSW hot water circulator rebate provides $150 cash back for installing a hot water circulator with your new or existing instantaneous gas hot water heater.

Eligibility

To be eligible for the rebate your hot water circulator must be:

• installed with a new or existing instantaneous gas hot water system (also referred to as a continuous gas hot water system)
• installed by a licensed plumber between 15 January 2010 and 30 June 2011 inclusive
• installed in a residential property in NSW
• a regulated or demand controlled system and not a continuous circulation system.

There is one hot water circulator rebate per property. From 15 January 2010, the total amount of NSW Home Saver Rebates household can receive must not exceed $1500 per property.

How much is the rebate?
