Choosing a Hot Water System for Your Dubbo Home in 2025

The 2025 Hot Water Landscape

The hot water market in 2025 is being shaped by three factors: rising electricity prices making electric storage less attractive, government rebates on heat pump and solar systems making them more accessible, and improving heat pump technology making them viable in Dubbo's cooler climate.

For most Dubbo homes with a gas connection, a gas instantaneous system remains the best balance of upfront cost, running cost, and reliability. For homes without gas or those wanting to reduce gas usage, a heat pump system with off-peak electricity or solar charging is now genuinely competitive over a 5–10 year horizon.

2025 Rebates

The federal STC scheme continues to provide rebates on solar hot water and heat pump systems in Dubbo. Rebate values fluctuate with the STC market but are currently providing meaningful discounts — we apply them directly to your invoice so you don't need to claim separately. Ask us for current rebate values when you inquire.
