Heat Pump Hot Water Rebates in Tasmania (2026)
By PumpSwap. Checked against the official sources on 21 September 2026. How we check
Tasmania has no state heat pump hot water incentive in 2026. The Energy Saver Loan Scheme, which offered interest-free loans of $500 to $10,000, closed on 1 September 2025. The federal STC discount, typically $500 to $800, is taken off the installer's quote.
Total rebates and discounts: up to $800. PumpSwap's modelled installed price after rebates in Tasmania: $2,500 - $5,200.

How to claim in Tasmania
- Choose a heat pump on the Clean Energy Regulator's register, because only registered models earn STCs. The installer or their agent takes the STC discount off the quote when you assign the certificates to them.
- Certificates must be created within 12 months of the install, which your installer or their agent handles.
- Ask for each discount to appear as its own line on the quote, so you can see nothing has been missed.

Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs). The deeming period drops from 5 years to 4, so the same heat pump earns about one fifth fewer certificates than a 2026 install and the upfront discount falls with it. It drops again every 1 January until the scheme ends in 2030. Clean Energy Regulator, calculating STC entitlements

Tasmania heat pump rebate questions
Can I still get a Tasmanian Energy Saver Loan?
No. The scheme closed to new applications at 11:59 pm on 1 September 2025, and no replacement program is named on the scheme page.
How much is the federal STC discount in Tasmania?
It is typically $500 to $800 for a 2026 install. The exact figure depends on the model, your climate zone and the certificate price on the day, so ask for it as a separate line on your quote.
What changes on 1 January 2027?
The federal STC discount steps down every 1 January until the scheme ends in 2030. A heat pump installed in 2027 earns about one fifth fewer certificates than the same model installed in 2026, so the upfront discount falls with it.
