These graphs show how much heating your home really costs each year — and the difference is striking. For an average pre-2005 Melbourne home, rising electricity and gas prices have pushed energy costs higher than ever, with electricity now at 31.9c per kWh (peak) and 25.0c per kWh (off-peak).
Smaller homes using gas heating are paying the most, while larger homes see only a slight reduction. With energy prices and emissions both climbing, older systems are becoming a major expense. Switching to an energy-efficient heating and cooling solution can cut costs dramatically and make your home cleaner, greener, and more comfortable year-round.
When installing an efficient room-reverse cycle air conditioner, there are several upgrade options and corresponding discounts available.The final installed price, including the discount, varies depending on the certificate price, location, installation costs, and the accredited provider’s administrative fees.
Under the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program for businesses, the government offers rebates for replacing existing electric hot water systems with new heat pump hot water systems. While Victorian businesses can upgrade their hot water systems for free, homeowners are eligible for rebates of up to $3,000 under this scheme.
Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) offer substantial benefits to residential solar buyers in Australia. These certificates act as a government-backed financial incentive, significantly reducing the upfront cost of installing a solar power system and making the switch to renewable energy more affordable for homeowners.
