What rebates can I claim on a Reclaim Energy heat pump?
Every Reclaim Energy model attracts federal Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) worth $880-$880 at point of sale. On top of STCs, Victorian households can stack the Solar Victoria Hot Water Rebate ($1,000-$1,400) and Victorian Energy Upgrades discount ($500-$2,000) to reach up to $2,700 in rebates. NSW (PDRS), SA (REPS), and ACT (Sustainable Household Scheme) have their own state-level top-ups. Your installer applies the discounts at quote time so you do not chase paperwork.
What is the warranty on a Reclaim Energy heat pump?
Reclaim Energy backs its tanks with a 10-year warranty and the compressor with 5 years. Workmanship cover for the install itself comes from your installer separately and should be at least 12 months. Warranty claims require the system to have been installed by a licensed plumber and serviced according to the manual.
How efficient is a Reclaim Energy heat pump?
The Reclaim CO2 315L runs at COP 4.5 (every 1 kWh of electricity input produces 4.5 kWh of heat output). Annual running cost is around $280 for a 3-5 person household, compared to roughly $700/year for gas storage and $900/year for old-school electric resistive storage.
How long does a Reclaim Energy heat pump last?
Modern hot water heat pumps last 12-15 years on average in Australian conditions. Tank life depends on water hardness (sacrificial anode replacement every 5 years extends life). Compressor life is the limiting factor and typically matches or exceeds the warranty period when the unit is correctly sized and serviced.
