Why Victorians are switching

A smarter way to heat your water.

A heat pump works like a fridge in reverse: it moves warmth from the outside air into your tank instead of burning gas or using a power-hungry element. That means a lot less energy for the same hot showers.

Lower bills

Uses a fraction of the energy of old electric or gas systems. The government estimates around $400 a year saved switching from gas.*

Government-backed

Up to three incentives can bring the price right down, assigned or deducted for you, subject to eligibility.

Fitted right

Licensed plumbers and electricians only, with compliance certificates handed over when the job is done.

Future-ready

From 1 March 2027, failed gas hot water in existing Victorian homes generally must be replaced with electric. Beat the rush.

How your price gets to $899

Three programs, one clear price.

Eligible upgrades can draw on up to three government incentives. Where they apply, they are assigned or deducted for you, and the exact figures always appear on your written quote.

Federal STCs
Approved heat pumps can create Small-scale Technology Certificates for an upfront discount.
VEU discount
The Victorian Energy Upgrades program applies a discount through us as an accredited participant.
Solar Victoria
Eligible owner-occupiers may receive an extra hot water rebate, deducted after approval.
Your price
From $899 installed for the Econova 330L, or $1,199 for other approved models.

Could you be eligible?

A Victorian homeowner (rentals may qualify for the VEU discount with owner consent)
Current system 2+ years old (3+ for the Solar Victoria rebate)
For Solar Victoria: an owner-occupier household
Combined income under $150,000 and property under $3M

The federal STC and VEU pathways are not income-tested, so even over the Solar Victoria threshold an upgrade can still be very affordable.

Deposit you can trust

A small deposit secures your install, and it stays fully refundable until your install is scheduled, and until Solar Victoria eligibility is confirmed if you are claiming that rebate.

Get the size right

What size do you need?

The VEU program recommends sizing by bedrooms, because households change over time. Too small and you run short, too large and it costs more to run. Here is the official guide, and we confirm the right fit at your assessment.

BedroomsRecommended tank size
1-2150-225 litres
3225-300 litres
4 or moreMore than 300 litres

What we need from you

Four quick photos, that is the secret.

Your photos let our licensed tradies check your setup before the truck rolls, so we can quote a fixed price and fit fast. Snap them on your phone in a couple of minutes.

Switchboard

Door open if safe, labels showing.

Current system

Proposed spot

Where the new one goes (outside).

A couple of things to know

An adult aged 18+ needs to be home for the whole install. Heat pumps are fitted outdoors. Clear a metre-wide path to the spot, and pop the kettle on, water is off for about an hour.

No surprises on install day

Older homes sometimes need extra electrical or plumbing work. If your photos show it, it is itemised on your quote before you pay. Anything truly hidden is quoted on the day and only goes ahead with your OK.

Your peace of mind

How we contact you, and how we never will.

Under the Victorian Energy Upgrades program, cold-call telemarketing and door-knocking are banned, and we strictly comply. We only ever help people who have asked us to.

The right way

  • You enquire first, through our ad, website, a text or a call.
  • We contact you because you asked, and only about your enquiry.
  • We tell you who is installing, and put your price in writing.
  • You can opt out anytime.

Never us

  • A cold call out of the blue.
  • Someone door-knocking about heat pumps or rebates.
  • Anyone claiming to be “from the government” at your door.
  • Pressure to pay before your eligibility is confirmed.
If someone door-knocks or cold-calls claiming to be Sunrise Saves Energy, it is not us. Please do not share your details, and report it to us on 1300 130 786 or enquiries@sunrisesavesenergy.com.au. Sunrise Saves Energy is a private company, not a government agency.
Good to know

Quick answers.

Do they work in a Melbourne winter?+

Yes. Like a fridge in reverse, they keep running on cold mornings, and the tank stores hot water for when you need it.

How loud is it?+

The Victorian Government describes it as comparable to an air conditioner. It is outdoors, and we check placement near bedrooms and neighbours.

What warranties do I get?+

A 7-year product warranty, plus our workmanship warranty and your rights under Australian Consumer Law.

Can renters apply?+

The VEU discount can apply to rentals with the owner’s consent. The Solar Victoria rebate is for owner-occupiers.

What happens to my old system?+

We disconnect, remove and dispose of it, and safely cap the old gas connection, as part of a standard install.

Is the deposit really refundable?+

Yes, fully refundable until your install is scheduled, and until Solar Victoria confirms you if you are claiming that rebate.
