Why upgrade?

Join the 2.4 million households who have upgraded to efficient appliances and save on energy bills.

Save money:

  • Induction cooktops are around 3 times more efficient. Using less energy helps reduce energy bills.
  • Get a rebate of up to $140 off an induction cooktop.
  • You could save around $350 to $400 a year by removing all gas appliances and avoiding ongoing gas supply charges.

Improve your home:

  • Induction cooktops allow you to cook with more control as they heat up quickly.
  • As only the cookware heats up (not the cooktop surface or surrounding area), you can enjoy a cooler kitchen.
  • The smooth surface is easy to clean and wipe down, with no burners or grills to scrub.
  • Induction cooking produces no harmful indoor air pollution. This can reduce the risk of respiratory problems, including asthma, especially for children.

Eligibility

To be eligible for a rebate on an induction cooktop through the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program, you must:

  • be a Victorian household
  • have a current gas or LPG connection
  • live in a home built at least 2 years ago
  • have not previously claimed a rebate for an induction cooktop
  • purchase an eligible product.

Private rental properties are also eligible. We recommend that landlords and tenants work together when planning an upgrade.

How to get a discount

Only approved induction cooktops can receive a discount.

View the Induction cooktop product list to see all currently approved models.

We recommend contacting an accredited provider to confirm eligibility before purchasing.

Purchase the eligible induction cooktop from your chosen retailer.

Keep a copy of your invoice as you’ll need this to receive the discount.

Important: You must provide the invoice to claim the rebate.

Choose an accredited provider from the list at the bottom of this page. Provide them with a copy of your invoice and a gas bill (issued within the past 3 months).

The accredited provider will manage the paperwork and process your rebate for you.

You can organise installation separately with a licensed tradesperson.

Some accredited providers may offer help with installation, but this is not required to receive the discount.

Choosing a new induction cooktop

Choosing the right induction cooktop depends on your household size and kitchen layout. High-power cooktops heat faster than gas and may offer better temperature control.

The induction cooktop buyers guide is available to help you choose the right product for your home.

The documents below can also help you select an induction cooktop. This includes a current product list with models that are approved with the program.

Find an accredited provider

Accredited providers are the only organisations that can process the rebate. Once they receive an invoice for an eligible cooktop and a recent gas bill, they manage all required paperwork and arrange the rebate.

Please note that the VEU program is market-based:

  • not all accredited providers listed above will necessarily be offering induction cooktop discounts at present
  • accredited providers can choose when and where they undertake upgrades.
