Stawell's warm temperate climate with moderate seasons suits heat pumps well: near-rated efficiency most of the year, with a small dip on cold mornings. Installed prices in Stawell currently sit above the state average.
As a smaller community in regional Victoria, Stawell has fewer local heat pump installers. Some metro-based installers charge $300-$600 travel fees for regional installations.
Stawell sits above the Victoria average for installation costs. This typically reflects larger homes, more complex installations, or a preference for premium brands in the area.
Victoria Gas Ban Affects Stawell
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 50% of Stawell homes connected to gas, this will affect a significant number of households in your area. Planning your replacement now lets you choose the right system on your timeline, rather than in an emergency.
