When it comes to upgrading your home’s hot water system, one of the most common questions homeowners ask is — “Are hot water rebates still available in 2025–2026?” The good news is YES, rebates are still available across Victoria for eligible households and businesses who switch to energy-efficient systems under various state and federal programs.
At Ecospread Melbourne, we help you take full advantage of these rebates while installing the latest energy-efficient heat pump hot water systems across Melbourne, Bendigo, Ballarat, Somerville, Moe, Geelong, and other nearby suburbs.
🔋 Understanding Hot Water Rebates in Victoria
The Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program continues to encourage energy-efficient improvements by offering rebates for households that replace old, inefficient electric or gas water heaters with heat pump hot water systems.
These systems use renewable energy from the surrounding air to heat water, dramatically reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. By upgrading through Ecospread, you not only save on installation costs but also enjoy long-term energy savings.
💰 How Much Can You Save with a Hot Water Rebate?
The amount of rebate you receive depends on several factors:
- The type and model of the system being installed
- Whether you are replacing an electric or gas system
- The location and energy provider
- Current government rebate rates under the VEU scheme
In 2025–2026, rebates can cover a significant portion of installation costs, sometimes making energy-efficient systems more affordable than standard ones.
🔧 Who Is Eligible for the Rebate?
To qualify for a hot water rebate, you must:
- Be a Victorian resident or business
- Have an existing inefficient water heating system (like an electric storage system or gas system)
- Replace it with an approved energy-efficient hot water system installed by a VEU-accredited provider like Ecospread
Our team ensures your installation meets all VEU compliance standards so you can claim your rebate hassle-free.
