Washing Machine Rebates

The $100 million Residential Rebate Program is part of the NSW Government’s Climate Change Fund, established to help people make their homes more water and energy efficient. It provides rebates for rainwater tanks, climate-friendly hot water systems, ceiling insulation and water-efficient washing machines.

The NSW Washing Machine Rebate has been available since August 1, 2008. It provides $150 cashback on any 5 star rated washing machine purchased for a residential property in NSW. A 5 star water efficient washing machine can save up to 100 litres per wash compared to an old top-loader. A family washing more than six loads a week would save up to 31,000 litres of water a year.

$1500 cap per household

From 15 January 2010, the total amount of NSW Home Saver Rebates a household can receive must not exceed $1500 per property. For example, a household might claim a $150 washing machine rebate, a $150 hot water circulator and a $1000 rainwater tank rebate. The total NSW Home Saver Rebates claimed is $1300 which is below the $1500 cap.
