Victoria is moving rapidly toward a cleaner, more energy-efficient future — and thousands of households are choosing to transition from gas to fully electric homes. With rising gas prices, increasing emissions, and major government incentives available, now is the perfect time to make the switch.

Under the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) Program, homeowners can significantly reduce the cost of replacing gas appliances with modern, efficient electric systems. Whether it’s heating, cooling, hot water, or cooking — going all-electric can save you money and reduce your carbon footprint.

At Victorian Air Conditioning Solutions, we help families across Melbourne and regional Victoria make this transition smoothly and affordably.

🔥 Why Exit Gas? Key Reasons Victorians Are Switching to All-Electric

1. Rising Gas Prices

Gas prices continue to increase in Victoria, making gas heating and hot water systems far more expensive to run than electric alternatives.

2. Better Energy Efficiency

Modern reverse-cycle air conditioners and heat pumps are up to 3–5 times more efficient than gas appliances.

3. Government Rebates Under the VEU Program

The Victorian Government offers rebates for replacing old, inefficient gas systems with electric ones — helping cut upfront costs.

4. Reduced Carbon Emissions

Electric appliances powered by renewable energy dramatically reduce household emissions.

5. Future-Proofing Your Home

Victoria is moving away from gas. New homes built after 2024 are no longer allowed to connect to gas networks.

✔️ Step-by-Step: How to Go All-Electric Using the VEU Program

Below is your simple, practical guide to transitioning your home away from gas under the VEU program.

---

STEP 1: Assess Your Current Gas Systems

Most Victorian homes use gas for:

• Gas ducted heating

• Gas hot water systems

• Gas stovetops

• Gas space heaters

• Gas-boosted solar systems

A full gas exit strategy means replacing each of these with efficient electric alternatives.

Victorian Air Conditioning Solutions provides free assessments to help you understand what needs replacing and what rebates you qualify for.

---

STEP 2: Replace Gas Heating With Reverse Cycle Air Conditioning

One of the biggest upgrades supported by VEU rebates is switching from:

❌ Gas ducted heating
❌ Gas wall heaters
❌ Gas space heaters

to:

✅ Energy-efficient electric reverse cycle heating & cooling systems

These include:

• Split systems

• Multi-head systems

• Ducted reverse cycle systems

VEU REBATES AVAILABLE:
These upgrades can attract significant discounts depending on your existing system and home type.

STEP 3: Upgrade Your Gas Hot Water System to a Heat Pump

Gas hot water is one of the largest contributors to energy bills.

Replace it with:

🔥 Electric Hot Water Heat Pump (VEU-approved)

Benefits:

• Up to 70% lower running costs

• Massive VEU rebates

• Highly energy efficient

• Works in cold climates

Victorian Air Conditioning Solutions installs brands such as:

STEP 4: Switch to an Electric Cooktop (Induction Preferred)

While not included under VEU rebates, induction cooktops are:

• Faster than gas

• Safer (no flames)

• More efficient

• Better for indoor air quality

This completes your move toward a fully electric kitchen.

---

STEP 5: Improve Home Energy Efficiency

Reducing energy consumption ensures your new electric appliances perform even better. Consider:

• Insulation upgrades

• Double glazing

• Draught sealing

• LED lighting

• Smart home controls

These complement your all-electric transition, lowering bills further.

---

STEP 6: Go Solar to Maximise Savings

Once your home is all-electric, adding solar panels helps you generate free electricity for heating, cooling, and hot water.

Solar Victoria incentives may apply:

• Solar panel rebate

• Interest-free loans

• Solar battery rebate (selected suburbs)
