Hampton Park Homeowner Installed a Neopower 315L Heat Pump for Only $1,350

315L Heat Pump Installed at Hampton Park

A Hampton Park homeowner in Melbourne’s south-east replaced their ageing gas hot water system with a Neopower 315L heat pump — and after combining $608 in STCs, a $1,000 Solar Victoria hot water rebate, and $550 in VEU discounts (VEECs), their total out-of-pocket cost came to just $1,350. That’s a fully installed, 315L heat pump at a fraction of the full price, with all rebate paperwork handled by Green Electric Solutions. If your hot water system is ageing and your bills are climbing, this is the upgrade that pays for itself.

This upgrade not only delivered a reliable and energy-saving hot water system but also helped them access valuable savings through the VEU rebate program—making the switch affordable, practical, and a smart long-term investment.

Why Replacing an Old Hot Water System Makes Sense?

Older hot water systems often use excessive power to maintain daily hot water needs. As energy prices continue to rise across Victoria, homeowners are now looking for smarter alternatives that provide both comfort and long-term savings. Many people hesitate because they think upgrading will be expensive. However, with available rebates and professional guidance, the upfront cost becomes much more affordable.

This is why many families now choose to replace old gas hot water systems or inefficient electric water heaters with advanced heat pump technology. A modern energy-efficient heating system not only lowers operating costs but also improves performance and supports a more sustainable home.

The Victorian Government is urging homeowners to upgrade their old gas hot water units and claim maximum rebate under the VEU program.

How the VEU Rebate Helped Reduce Costs?

One of the biggest reasons for worrying about the upfront cost of upgrading? That’s exactly where the VEU rebate Victoria program helps. Eligible homeowners can significantly reduce installation costs on approved hot water heat pumps, making the switch much more affordable. In this Hampton Park project, the homeowner also received 16 STCs (Small-scale Technology Certificates), adding even more savings. Instead of continuing to pay high monthly bills on an inefficient old system, they chose a smarter upgrade that saves money long-term.
