As demand for sustainable home upgrades continues to grow across Victoria, Climate Green Melbourne is advising homeowners to think carefully before accepting low-cost heat pump installation quotes that could end up costing more in the long run.
With the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program offering generous rebates for heat pump installations, many providers are entering the market — but not all are playing by the rules. Climate Green, a trusted and accredited VEU provider, warns that some quotes exclude essential work, use non-approved systems, or lack proper documentation, putting rebates and safety at risk.
“An installation quote that seems unusually cheap often comes at a price,” said a Climate Green spokesperson. “We regularly hear from customers who were misled by budget offers that didn’t include compliance certificates, proper electrical work, or approved heat pumps. These mistakes can result in denied rebates or worse — unsafe installations.”
Common issues with low-cost providers include:
Use of non-VEU-approved heat pumps
Unlicensed subcontractors performing installations
No removal of old systems or switchboard upgrades
Lack of paperwork required for rebate claims
Hidden costs that surface after installation begins
In contrast, Climate Green offers fully transparent, all-inclusive service — from helping customers select the right system to handling all rebate documentation. The company installs leading brands such as Rinnai, Stiebel Eltron, Chromagen, and Reclaim, and serves clients across Melbourne and regional areas like Geelong, Ballarat, Bendigo, Werribee, Melton, and Moe.
“At Climate Green, we don’t cut corners. Our customers know exactly what they’re getting — licensed professionals, high-quality systems, and full rebate support,” the spokesperson added.
