Save More with Rebates and Apricus
Installing the Apricus 260L doesn’t just reduce your power bills — it also makes you eligible for government rebates that cut the upfront cost. In South Australia, the Retailer Energy Productivity Scheme (REPS) provides instant discounts for households upgrading to efficient technology like the Apricus 260L. This means you get rewarded for replacing older electric or gas systems with a cleaner, more efficient option.
On top of that, the federal Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) program assigns a rebate value to your system based on its efficiency and installation location. For the Apricus 260L, this translates to hundreds of dollars in additional savings, bringing the total rebate value to between $800 and $1,200 for most Adelaide households. At Adelaide West Hot Water, we take care of all the paperwork and apply the rebates as an instant discount — so you only pay the reduced price on installation day.
