Start Your Renewable Energy Journey With a Heat Pump

O’Brien Electrical & Plumbing Rowville is a certified heat pump installer under the Solar Homes Program and is proud to be helping eligible Victorian households reduce energy usage and associated costs. Heat pumps are an energy efficient hot water system that help reduce the running costs of your home or business. 

We’ve outlined the few steps required to obtain the rebate and get a new heat pump installed. 

About the program

The Solar Homes Program is helping eligible Victorian households take charge of their power bills by adopting renewable energy strategies, and subsidising the transition from gas to electric. The program aims to provide a cleaner future for all Victorians. Specifically, the hot water rebate under the Solar Homes Program provides up to $1,000 back on eligible heat pump and hot water systems.
