Products, Prices, and Rebates

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.

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.

Rebates

Rebates from Hume City Council are available to eligible concession card holders who have products installed through the Home Energy Upgrades program. To be eligible for concession rebates, homeowners (owner-occupiers who live in the house they would like energy upgrades for) need to currently hold one of the following cards: Centrelink Health Care Card, Centrelink Pensioner Concession Card, Veterans’ Affairs Pensioner Concession Card or Veterans’ Affairs Gold Card for all conditions.  

Eligible concession card holders may choose more than one type of home energy upgrade and receive the applicable rebates for each upgrade type. For example, if they would like one split system ($900 rebate), one heat pump hot water system ($400 rebate) and one bundle of draught proofing works ($400 rebate), the total value of their rebates would be $1,700.
