Darebin Energy Upgrades

The Darebin Energy Upgrades Program can help you to electrify and improve the efficiency of your home or business to increase comfort, reduce energy bills and invest in a cleaner, safer future. 

We know researching energy upgrades can be confusing and time consuming. So, we’ve partnered with not-for-profit energy experts Yarra Energy Foundation to take the hard work out of creating an efficient electric home or business by connecting you to quality products, at a competitive price, and with a reliable installer. 

Our program is open to all Darebin residents and business owners. Click here for information for businesses.

Energy upgrades include:

• Rooftop solar
• Reverse cycle heating and cooling (split systems)
• Hot water heat pumps
• Home batteries
• Induction cooktops

Eligible residents 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 ($700 rebate), one heat pump hot water system ($150 rebate) and one bundle of draught proofing works ($300 rebate), the total value of their rebates would be $1,150.
