Heat Pump Hot Water Rebates and Discounts in Victoria

Reduce the upfront cost of switching to efficient electric hot water.

Victorian households may be able to combine different government programs when upgrading an eligible existing hot-water system.

Two important programs are:

  • Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) – provides discounts for eligible efficient hot-water upgrades.
  • Solar Victoria Hot Water Rebate – provides an additional rebate for eligible Victorian households and approved hot-water products.

These programs have different eligibility requirements and should be assessed before installation.

Victorian Energy Upgrades Hot Water Discount

The VEU program supports eligible replacements of existing hot-water systems with efficient heat pump or other approved systems.

The Victorian Government currently states that households can save up to approximately $630 on upfront costs, depending on the replacement scenario and system selected. Actual certificate value can vary.

Solar Victoria Hot Water Rebate

As of 1 July 2026, eligible households may receive up to $1,400 for an eligible locally made hot-water product, or up to $1,000 for other eligible hot-water products.

Solar Victoria's household income eligibility cap for new solar-PV and hot-water rebate applications changed to $150,000 combined household taxable income per year from 1 July 2026. Other property, ownership and product criteria also apply.

Because program settings and certificate values can change, Vision Environmental Solutions calculates the available incentive during the quotation process rather than advertising one fixed rebate for every property.

Basic VEU Eligibility

  • An existing hot-water system being replaced
  • The relevant house or building generally being at least two years old
  • Use of an eligible approved product
  • A minimum five-year warranty for eligible heat-pump hot-water systems
