Hot Water Heat Pump Rebates & Installation
A heat pump can cut your hot water running costs dramatically — and government rebates can take a big chunk off the price to install one.
Hot water is one of the biggest energy users in the average home, and a heat pump hot water system is one of the smartest ways to cut that bill. Instead of heating water with an element or a gas burner, a heat pump draws warmth from the surrounding air — using a fraction of the energy of an old electric tank. Borza Plumbing supplies and installs heat pump hot water across Melbourne's South East.
The best part right now is the rebates. Between the Victorian Energy Upgrades program, Solar Victoria hot water rebates and federal incentives, the upfront cost of switching to a heat pump can come down significantly — often the single biggest reason it's worth doing sooner rather than later. We'll walk you through what you're eligible for and give you honest numbers on the payback.

How much can a heat pump save on running costs?
A heat pump uses far less energy than a standard electric storage tank to heat the same water, so it can cut your hot water running costs substantially. The exact saving depends on your household and tariff — we'll give you honest numbers for your situation.
What rebates are available for heat pump hot water?
In Victoria there are incentives through the Victorian Energy Upgrades program and Solar Victoria, plus federal certificates, which together can significantly reduce the upfront cost. Eligibility depends on your property and the unit — we'll walk you through what applies to you.
Is a heat pump a good replacement for my old electric tank?
