What Rebates Are Available in Victoria?

Several rebate programs may apply to eligible heat pump hot water installations in Victoria.

The Victorian Energy Upgrades Program offers incentives for energy-efficient home upgrades, including hot water systems. Eligible homeowners can access discounts that help lower the cost of installation and improve household energy performance.

The Solar Victoria Hot Water Rebate can cover up to 50% of the purchase price, capped at $1,000. This rebate helps reduce the upfront cost of switching to a more efficient hot water system.
Victorian Energy Efficiency Certificates (VEECs)
VEECs are generated when an approved energy-saving product is installed. These certificates can create additional financial savings and help reduce the total cost of your new heat pump hot water system.
STC Rebate Victoria
The Small-scale Technology Certificate (STC) scheme can also help lower the cost of eligible systems. STCs reduce the purchase price of the system and make energy-efficient upgrades more affordable for Victorian households.
