If you’re considering hot water system installation in Geelong, Extra Mile Plumbing can guide you through every step, including arranging substantial Victorian government rebates that often exceed $1,000 for eligible systems.
Why you shouldn’t wait on upgrading
When your existing gas or electric hot water system fails or becomes inefficient, upgrading to a solar-boosted or heat pump system makes sense. These options deliver long-term energy savings by using ambient air or solar energy to heat your water more efficiently. Heat pump systems alone can lower electricity use by 60–75 percent compared to standard electric tanks.
Extra Mile Plumbing offers installations across Geelong and expert guidance to help you choose the right system for your household needs.
Government rebates in Victoria explained
Solar Victoria hot water rebate
Eligible Victorian homeowners usually receive $1,000 off a qualifying solar hot water or heat pump system, and from 1 July 2025, an extra $400 bonus is available for systems with verified Australian-made components.
VEU (Victorian Energy Upgrades) rebate
Under the VEU program, owners who replace an inefficient gas system with a heat pump can access up to around $560 in additional rebates. In combination with the Solar Victoria rebate, total savings can exceed $2,000.
Stacking your incentives
When matched correctly, Victorian homeowners may claim:
- $1,000 Solar Victoria rebate
- $400 Australian-made bonus (from July 2025)
- VEU rebate up to $560–630
This adds up to total savings potentially exceeding $1,960, and in some cases closer to $3,000 depending on your system and eligibility level.
