STC Incentives
Trade your STCs to earn a discount off the cost of your new heat pump water heater. Each product in the Dux environmental range has been assigned a STC value, and each STC represents a saving of one megawatt of electricity generated from fossil fuels over 10 years.
Used the reduced entitlement when selecting your new water heater and to calculate the STC incentive you could be eligible for.
| STC Zone | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Full 10 year entitlement | 25 | 24 | 29 | 31 | 31 |
| Reduced 7 year entitlement (2024) | 17 | 16 | 20 | 21 | 21 |
Systems eligibility for STCs and STC values are subject to change without notice and are correct at time of publishing. STCs calculations are based on continuous tariff. STC values attributable to solar and heat pump water heaters are being reduced by 10% per year. The values stated in the tables above match the values published in the register of heat pump water heaters. These include a reduction in STCs (checked January 2024). Use the STC calculator link www.rec-registry.gov.au/rec-registry/app/calculators/swh-stc-calculator to calculate the number of STC your installation is eligible for. The systems eligibility for STC’s will be based on the year in which the system was installed.

Energy Efficient
The Dux Ecosmart heat pump is up to 4 times more energy efficient than standard electric water heaters. This makes them a great choice for households looking to reduce their energy use particularly when connected to continuous or time of use tariffs.
How It Works
Heat pumps absorb free heat energy from the ambient air and use ‘reverse cycle’ technology to heat your water. Just like a fridge, except in reverse. For 1kw of power consumed, they produce 4kw of heating which is why they are so energy efficient.
How it works
Functionality in your hand
When connected to the internet, you can monitor the heat pumps energy use & operating modes via the Dux HP
App. It allows you to:
-
- Set the heat pump to an operating mode to suit your individual hot water requirements
- Boost the unit to maximise the units recovery, reducing heating time
- Schedule the water heater to run at particular times of the day to take advantage of time of use
tariffs - Put the heat pump on Holiday mode when the water heater is not expected to be used for a long duration
Control At Your Fingertips
Our smart WIFI enabled controller provides multiple operating modes to suit your application and maximise your savings. These are accessible through the Dux HP App or via the heat pumps touch control pad.
