Heat pump rebates
Replacing gas or electric hot water is one of the cheapest upgrades you can make.
Hot water is usually the second largest line on a household energy bill, and the rebates available on heat pumps are among the most generous in Victoria.
- Victorian Energy Upgrades
- Applied at point of sale
- Replaces gas or electric
Where the discount comes from
The main program is Victorian Energy Upgrades, which discounts efficient appliances through accredited providers rather than paying you back afterwards. Heat pump hot water is one of the categories it covers, specifically when replacing an existing electric or gas storage system.
Solar Victoria also runs hot water programs for eligible households. Which of these applies to you depends on your property and circumstances, and the two do not always combine. We work out your actual position before quoting.
- Delivered as a point-of-sale discount, not a cash-back claim
- Applies when replacing an existing electric or gas storage system
- Solar Victoria hot water programs may apply for eligible households
- Runs through us as an accredited provider, so you lodge nothing
How it actually works
From old tank to discounted new one.
The rebate is administered through accredited providers, which means the discount is applied at the point of sale rather than claimed back by you later.
- 01
We check what you are replacing
The program is built around replacing an existing electric or gas storage system, so what is there now determines what you qualify for.
- 02
We confirm your eligibility
Against your property and circumstances, and against the specific heat pump being proposed. Not every model qualifies.
- 03
The discount comes off the price
Your quote shows the rebate deducted, so the number you compare is the number you pay.
- 04
We handle the compliance
Decommissioning the old unit, the paperwork and the evidence trail are all part of the installation.
What we will need from you
- Your installation address
- What you currently have: gas or electric storage, and roughly its age
- How many people live in the house, so the tank is sized correctly
- Whether you have solar, so we can time the heating cycle to your generation
