The Hume Home Energy Upgrades program helps residents in the City of Hume make their homes more comfortable and energy efficient.
We aim to make it easy and cost-effective for you to improve your home’s energy performance, saving you money, improving your comfort and health, and reducing your carbon emissions.
Update: Temporary pause on solar and electrification registrations
The Hume Home Energy Upgrades program is currently not accepting new registrations from residents seeking quotes on rooftop solar, heating and cooling, hot water, or induction cooktops (as of Friday 6 December 2024).
The appointed supplier, EnviroGroup, is focusing on helping residents who have already registered by providing quotes and completing installations for those who wish to proceed. There has been a high level of interest in the program from the Hume community; and there have been challenges with the capacity of the supplier.
Hume City Council is working with Yarra Energy Foundation to select and appoint a new supplier for solar and efficient electric upgrades in early 2025. Further updates will be communicated on this page.
Insulation and draughtproofing still available
Hume residents can continue to register for insulation and draught-proofing upgrades. Once registered, the supplier, Enviroflex, will contact you to arrange a free, no-obligation quote, in the usual way.
For residents who have registered for solar and electrification quotes or are progressing to installation
If you registered for solar or electric upgrades by Friday 6 December 2024, you will still receive no obligation quotes, or you may have already received quotes, from EnviroGroup, the supplier. If you decide to go ahead, your upgrades will be installed as quoted.
If you have paid a deposit for an installation, EnviroGroup will progress the installation as agreed. YEF and Council continue to have full confidence in the quality of installations and products quoted by EnviroGroup.
