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.
