Energy-Efficient Home Upgrades Available in Ferntree Gully
Every property has different energy requirements. The right upgrade depends on the size and layout of the property, existing appliances, electrical capacity, energy usage and household priorities.
Smart Energy Technologies provides an initial assessment before recommending a system or upgrade.
Reverse-Cycle Heating and Cooling
Replace inefficient gas or electric heating with an energy-efficient reverse-cycle air conditioning system that provides both heating and cooling.
Available options include:
- Single-split air conditioners for individual rooms
- Multi-split systems for several rooms
- Ducted reverse-cycle systems
- Replacement of eligible gas heating systems
- Residential and commercial installations
- Systems from established manufacturers including Mitsubishi Electric, Fujitsu and Midea
Eligible Victorian households and businesses may be able to access a discount through the Victorian Energy Upgrades heating and cooling activity. The available discount depends on the existing appliance, the replacement system and the property’s circumstances. Businesses can review the non-residential eligibility criteria separately.
Heat Pump Hot Water Systems
Heat pump hot water systems use heat from the surrounding air to warm water, requiring substantially less electricity than a conventional electric storage water heater.
A heat pump may be suitable for customers who want to:
- Replace an ageing gas or electric hot water system
- Reduce household electricity or gas consumption
- Move towards an all-electric home
- Use more of the electricity generated by rooftop solar
- Access eligible Victorian hot water incentives
Eligible customers may be able to combine a Solar Victoria hot water rebate with a Victorian Energy Upgrades discount. Eligibility, product requirements and available amounts must be confirmed before installation, and the selected unit must appear on the Solar Victoria approved product list.
Solar Panel Installation
A correctly designed solar system can help reduce the amount of electricity purchased from the grid during daylight hours.
Our team can assess:
- Current and expected electricity consumption
- Available roof space and orientation
- Shading and property conditions
- Appropriate solar system capacity
- Inverter and panel options
- Future battery or electric vehicle requirements
- Available government incentives, including the Solar Victoria solar panel (PV) rebate
The recommended system should be based on the property’s expected energy requirements rather than a standard package alone.
Solar Battery Installation
A solar battery stores electricity generated during the day so it can be used later, including during the evening when household electricity demand is often higher.
Battery suitability depends on:
- Existing solar generation
- Daily and evening electricity usage
- Available installation space
- Desired backup functionality
- Inverter compatibility
- Future energy requirements
- Battery capacity and usable storage
Not every battery automatically provides power during a blackout. Backup capability, supported circuits and additional equipment should be confirmed as part of the system design.
Eligible battery installations may receive a Commonwealth Government discount through the Cheaper Home Batteries Program, which is administered by the Clean Energy Regulator under the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme. Victoria previously offered eligible households an interest-free solar battery loan; Solar Victoria is no longer accepting applications for that loan. Current Victorian and Commonwealth incentives are separate programs with different eligibility and technical requirements.
Weather Sealing, Showerheads and Energy Monitoring
Some households may also be eligible for discounted energy and water-saving products through the Victorian Energy Upgrades product range.
Available activities may include:
- Door and draught sealing
- Evaporative vent covers
- Exhaust fan seals
- Water-efficient showerheads
- In-home energy displays
Product availability and eligibility can change. Our team will confirm the applicable requirements before arranging an upgrade.
Victorian Energy Incentives Explained
Victorian households may encounter several different rebates, discounts and loans. These programs should not be treated as interchangeable.
Victorian Energy Upgrades
The Victorian Energy Upgrades Program provides discounts on eligible energy-efficient products and installations. The discount is generally applied through an accredited provider and reflected in the customer’s quote. The program is regulated by the Essential Services Commission, and you can read how certificates fund the discounts on their website.
Smart Energy Technologies is listed as an accredited provider for eligible activities under the Victorian Energy Upgrades Program. You can also check the program’s own guidance for households before committing to an upgrade.
Solar Victoria
Solar Victoria administers separate programs for eligible households, including:
- Solar panel rebates
- Hot water rebates
- Solar battery loans (closed to new applications)
- Solar incentives for rental properties and apartments
Eligibility can depend on household income, property value, property ownership, previous incentives and the products selected.
Cheaper Home Batteries Program
The Australian Government’s Cheaper Home Batteries Program provides an upfront discount on eligible battery systems through small-scale technology certificates.
The available benefit depends on the battery’s usable capacity, installation date, approved products and program requirements.
Government programs and incentive amounts can change. Customers should check current official requirements and obtain a written quote before committing to an installation.
