Efficient Energy Group (EEG), a leading provider of energy-efficient solutions, says the Victorian Energy Upgrades program will encourage more homeowners to transition from traditional gas hot water systems as gas costs continue to rise across Australia.

The initiative aligns with EEG’s mission to deliver nationwide energy-saving and resource management solutions that save clients’ money while reducing their carbon footprints.

“We are keen to support the Victorian Energy Upgrades program and want to remind homeowners and business owners to check their eligibility for rebates. It not only helps reduce the financial burden of transitioning to energy-efficient hot water systems but also promotes environmental sustainability,” EEG managing director Joshua Liptak says.

“Heat pump hot water systems are renowned for their high energy efficiency compared to traditional gas hot water systems. As they utilise electricity more efficiently, they can lead to significant reductions in energy consumption, resulting in lower utility bills over time.”

Pairing a modern heat pump hot water system with solar power systems offers additional benefits. Households can utilise free, renewable energy to power their hot water systems, thereby reducing electricity costs and increasing self-sufficiency.

The Victorian Energy Upgrades program is designed to make the upgrade to modern heat pump hot water systems more affordable for homeowners and businesses. The generous rebates and incentives available can significantly offset the initial installation costs, making it a smart financial decision as gas prices in Australia show no signs of notable declines.
