The Victorian Government is offering $1,000 rebates, to help eligible households upgrade their heating systems to an energy-efficient reverse-cycle air conditioner.
Concession card holders and low-income households (combined income of less than $90,000) can apply for the rebate through the Home Heating and Cooling Upgrades Program.
The program is designed to help households improve energy efficiency, save energy costs, and move away from gas and wood heaters.
This contributes to state-wide efforts to reduce gas emissions, improve local air quality and transition to a renewable energy future.
Other rebates offered under the program are:
- $200 towards the cost of decommissioning an outdated gas heater (if an existing gas heater is being replaced)
- $500 towards the cost of upgrading the switchboard (if an upgrade is required to install the rebated reverse-cycle air conditioner).
Further information about the rebates, including eligibility and applications, is available at the Heating Upgrades website.
