STC stands for Small-scale Technology Certificate. It’s part of the Australian Government’s Renewable Energy Target program, created to reward Australians who install eligible energy-efficient systems, such as heat pump or solar hot water systems. When a system like this is installed, it’s awarded a certain number of certificates based on its efficiency, the location of installation, and the amount of renewable energy it’s expected to produce or offset over time. Each certificate holds a monetary value, which acts as an upfront rebate.

How Do STC Rebates Work?

Rather than applying for the rebate after installation, JR Gas & Water includes the value of the STCs directly in the price shown on each product page. This means what you see is the final out-of-pocket cost to you — no separate rebate forms, no waiting, no surprises. We claim the STCs on your behalf and handle the paperwork behind the scenes so that your purchase is smooth, simple, and fully compliant.

Who Is Eligible?

You’re generally eligible for STCs if you’re installing a new, approved system at a residential or small business property within Australia. The installation must be completed by a qualified installer, and the system must meet current Australian standards. All heat pumps and solar hot water systems sold and installed by JR Gas & Water are STC-approved, and our team ensures each installation qualifies properly.

Final Word

All pricing on the JR Gas & Water website includes the STC rebate already applied, so what you see is what you pay. We manage the rebate process from start to finish, so you can enjoy a lower price without any paperwork or hassle. Whether you're upgrading your hot water system for efficiency, savings, or reliability, the STC rebate is already working in your favour — and JR makes sure it stays that way.

Estimated annual savings are calculated by comparing the heat pump’s energy efficiency (measured as COP – Coefficient of Performance) against a standard electric hot water system with a COP of 1.0. For example, if a heat pump has a COP of 4.0, it uses 75% less electricity to deliver the same amount of hot water.

Savings are based on average household usage for a family of five on Tariff 11 (general usage tariff), using manufacturer-stated COP values. The higher the COP, the greater the energy savings.

Bonus savings: When paired with a solar PV system, energy costs can drop even further — with some households seeing up to 50% additional savings, especially when the heat pump runs during solar generation times.

Disclaimer:

All estimated savings are based on manufacturer-provided COP values and standard usage assumptions (e.g. a family of five on Tariff 11). These figures are intended as a general guide to help compare different hot water units and technologies. Actual savings may vary depending on your household’s usage, energy rates, and installation conditions. We recommend conducting your own research or consulting an energy advisor to assess what’s best for your specific setup.
