Upgrading to a heat pump hot water system is one of the smartest ways Victorian homeowners can lower their energy bills, reduce emissions, and future-proof their property. With the support of the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program, many households are eligible for significant rebates that reduce upfront installation costs.

But not every installer is created equal — and not all quotes are as straightforward as they seem. Selecting the right installer ensures you get not only the rebate, but also a safe, compliant, and high-performing system.

That’s where Climate Green Melbourne – Accredited VEU Provider A2360 – comes in.

What Is the VEU Program?

The Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program is a state-run initiative aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving energy efficiency across Victoria. Through this program, accredited providers can offer rebates (issued as VEECs) for approved energy-saving upgrades — including heat pumps hot water system installations.

These rebates can cover a substantial portion of your upgrade — in some cases, homeowners pay little to nothing upfront. However, eligibility depends on proper installation and product compliance.

⚠️ Why Choosing the Right Installer Matters

A heat pump upgrade is only as good as the team that installs it. Many providers offer low prices by cutting corners, which can lead to:

• Non-VEU-approved products that make you ineligible for rebates

• Installations by unlicensed tradespeople, risking safety and warranty issues

• No compliance certificate, which is essential for rebates and legal documentation

• Lack of rebate processing, leaving you with the burden of claiming rebates alone

• Hidden charges not disclosed in the initial quote

Choosing the right installer ensures your upgrade qualifies for rebates and avoids costly rework or compliance failures.

✅ What to Look For in a VEU Heat Pump Installer

Before committing to a quote, ask these important questions:

1. Are They VEU Accredited?

Only providers officially listed under the VEU program can offer rebates. Climate Green is fully VEU-accredited (Provider No. A2360) and authorised to process certificates on your behalf.

2. Are the Products VEU Approved?

The system being installed must appear on the VEU-approved product list to qualify for incentives. Always verify the brand and model.

3. Are They Licensed?

Make sure all work is carried out by licensed electricians and plumbers. It’s not just a best practice — it’s the law.

4. Will You Receive a Compliance Certificate?

Without a Certificate of Compliance, your rebate may be denied and your insurance may be voided.

5. Do They Offer Transparent Pricing?

Look for clear, itemised quotes that include:

• Switchboard or electrical upgrades

• Plumbing or valve adjustments

• Old system removal

• Full installation and post-care

6. Do They Help with Rebate Processing?

Reliable installers will manage or assist with all the VEU paperwork so you don’t miss out.
