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.

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 $0-$2,360 out of pocket.

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

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, 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 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.
