Repairs are still allowed and exemptions exist. From 1 January 2027, new homes must be built all-electric.

Chromagen in Victoria: FAQ
How much does a Chromagen heat pump cost in Victoria?
A Chromagen hot water heat pump costs $2,800 - $4,200 fully installed in Victoria before rebates. After stacking those rebates, most Victoria households pay around $130-$2,440 out of pocket.
What rebates can I claim on a Chromagen heat pump in Victoria?
On top of federal STCs (worth $560-$640), Victoria households can stack Solar Victoria Hot Water Rebate and Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) Certificates, taking total rebates to $1,760-$2,670. That is the biggest stack in the country, and most of it is automatic: STCs and the Victorian Energy Upgrades discount are already inside the price your installer quotes. Solar Victoria's rebate is the one worth going after on top, and your installer drives it. They lodge it with your quote, you add ID and proof of income, and it comes off your invoice on approval.
How does the Victoria gas ban affect my Chromagen choice?
From 1 March 2027, if the gas hot water system in an existing owner-occupied home breaks and cannot be repaired, it must be replaced with an electric alternative; in a rental it must be replaced with a heat pump water heater. Repairs are still allowed and exemptions exist. From 1 January 2027, new homes must be built all-electric. A Chromagen heat pump is a compliant electric replacement, and planning the switch before your gas unit fails lets you claim the rebates and choose your installer on your own timeline rather than in an emergency.
