Residential Heat Pump
Hot Water System Upgrade
Upgrade Your Hot Water System Under VEU
Are you ready to upgrade your old water heater to a new, efficient air-sourced heat pump hot water system? You could qualify for a rebate through the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program!
Our heat pump residential systems are a popular solution for improving home energy efficiency and comfort.
Why Upgrade to a Heat Pump Hot Water System?
Water heating contributes up to 17% of the total energy costs in Australian households. This number can rise to 40% in colder regions of Australia, and even higher if you have an outdated water heater installed. By upgrading to a modern and an energy-efficient heat pump for residential homes, you can significantly reduce these costs.
Government Rebates and Incentives
The Victorian government offers rebates to eligible residents and businesses planning to replace traditional water heaters with efficient air-sourced heat pump units. These rebates help offset the high up-front costs, making the transition to energy-efficient water heating more affordable. Moreover, our heat pump residential systems are adaptable to a wide range of climates.
Under the VEU program, rebates are available for:
- Replacing small gas/electric resistance hot water systems (2-5 kW) with small size heat pumps
- Upgrading to medium size heat pumps (5-10 kW)
The actual rebate amount varies based on:
- Heat pump Kw Rating
- Installation and administrative costs
- Efficiency of the installed heat pump
- VEU certificate price
- Potential reduction in water heating energy usage
Eligibility Criteria
Victorian households with an existing gas or electric resistance water heaters are eligible for rebates on water heater replacement or upgrade.
