Victoria gas ban: why it matters for Chromagen buyers

From 1 March 2027, gas hot water systems in existing homes must be replaced with an efficient electric alternative (heat pump) when they reach end-of-life. Repairs are still allowed. New builds already banned from gas connections since January 2024. Rentals also face mandatory replacement of gas heaters.

With 80% of Victoria homes connected to gas, planning your Chromagen replacement now lets you claim rebates and choose your installer on your timeline.
