Climate Green Melbourne – Your VEU-Accredited Partner for Home Electrification

In recent months, Victoria’s Gas Policy Update has made headlines again. While the state government has eased some of its earlier restrictions, the push toward all-electric, energy-efficient homes is far from over. In fact, if you’re building or upgrading your home in 2025, going electric remains the smartest, safest, and most future-proof decision you can make.

At Climate Green Melbourne, we help Victorian households make the switch to electric with VEU-approved heating, cooling, and hot water systems—and this article explains why that choice still makes the most sense.

The Gas Debate: What’s Changed in Victoria?

Earlier announcements introduced a ban on gas connections in new homes from 2024 onward, as part of a long-term strategy to lower emissions and improve energy efficiency. Recent updates have slightly relaxed those rules, but the direction is still clear:

From 2027, all new homes must use electric hot water and heating systems

Government support continues to favour electric alternatives, including rebates through the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program

Gas infrastructure and usage remain under scrutiny due to emissions, safety risks, and rising long-term costs

So while gas is not disappearing overnight, Victoria is still firmly steering toward electrification—and that’s where homeowners stand to benefit most.

Why Go All-Electric in 2025?

Even with policy flexibility, making your home all-electric is the logical next step if you’re building, renovating, or upgrading your comfort systems.

1. Lower Running Costs

Electric heat pumps and reverse-cycle air conditioning systems are far more efficient than gas heaters. Many of our customers report significant savings within months of switching.

2. Access to Government Rebates

As a VEU-accredited provider, Climate Green helps you access rebates on eligible upgrades—including:

Reverse-cycle air conditioning

Neo Power heat pumps

Electric hot water systems

These rebates can reduce installation costs by thousands of dollars.

3. Health & Safety

All-electric homes reduce exposure to carbon monoxide, gas leaks, and indoor air pollution—offering a healthier environment for your family.

4. Environmental Impact

Electric appliances powered by renewables dramatically reduce your carbon footprint. Gas systems, on the other hand, are fossil-fuel based and contribute to emissions.

5. Future Compliance

With Victoria committing to no new gas connections in homes by 2027, installing electric systems now puts you ahead of future regulatory requirements.

Victoria’s Gas Policy Update: Victoria’s Message Is Clear: The Future Is Electric
