Victoria’s Home Heating and Cooling Upgrades program offers Victorians rebates to replace gas, electric and wood heaters with reverse-cycle split systems. Initially open only for owner/occupiers, the program has been expanded to include renters and landlords.
Approved suppliers to the program will provide an end-to-end service and ensure appropriate licensing of retailers and installers, consumer protections and work quality. The service includes the installation of new split systems, decommissioning of old systems and undertaking of switchboard upgrades if required.
The program plans to reach 250,000 households over the next three years with the aim of improving comfort for occupants, reducing energy consumption and helping Victoria transition from gas.
