Victoria gas ban: why it matters for Rheem 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 Rheem replacement now lets you claim rebates and choose your installer on your timeline.

Rheem in Victoria: FAQ

How much does a Rheem heat pump cost in Victoria?

A Rheem hot water heat pump costs $3,200 - $4,800 fully installed in Victoria before rebates. After stacking those rebates, most Victoria households pay around $450-$2,960 out of pocket.

What rebates can I claim on a Rheem heat pump in Victoria?

On top of federal STCs (worth $640-$720), Victoria households can stack Solar Victoria Hot Water Rebate and Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) Certificates, taking total rebates to $1,840-$2,750. 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 Rheem choice?

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. A Rheem 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.
