Gas Hot Water System Replacement

Gas Hot Water System Replacement Rebates

Gas is a fossil fuel that drives climate change and leaks potent methane. It’s less efficient and more expensive to run compared to modern electric systems like heat pumps. Health risks from indoor gas use and Victoria’s phase-out policies make the shift to electric heat pumps inevitable.

  • Replace with a heat pump for rebates of around $560 off
  • Replace with a solar-boosted hot water system, around $700 off

Key conditions:

  • Property must be at least 2 years old.
  • You must install an approved product from the official VEU register.
  • Heavily subsidised. Minimum customer co-payment is $200 incl. GST
