MRSG is supporting Hepburn Energy’s partnership program to deliver an affordable regional bulk-buy, providing economic and premium heat pump hot water heaters.   

The Round 2 Heat Pump Hot Water Bulk-Buy is offering information webinars, great support and premium products to help residents improve their energy efficiency and lower emissions.  

Due to the sold-out success of the 2021 bulk buy this second round will extend beyond the Hepburn Shire to Ballarat, Moorabool, Macedon Ranges and Mount Alexander shire residents.  

So what are heat pumps? 

Heat pumps are one of the most efficient technologies we have to heat water and reduce electricity use. With heat pump technology coming in leaps and bounds, there is now a vast array of systems that are much more efficient than their electric or gas counterparts. Not only that, good quality heat pumps often outperform solar hot water. You can learn more via the Renew website here. 

What is the benefit for our climate? 

Heat pumps use between 70-80% less electricity than conventional systems and can reduce electricity use by 18%. 

Why do we need a Bulk-Buy? 

While heat pumps are great for the environment, it can be overwhelming to find and select an appropriate system. This Bulk-Buy offers a streamlined process that makes it easier to learn about, get a quote, access subsidies and have your system installed by a local qualified person. 

How do I get involved? 

If you’re ready for a quote complete the “Receive a Quote” form here and make sure you include the address and photos of your current system.  

There will be two information webinars on Thursday 16 March and Monday 3 April from 6:15-7:15 pm  (you can register here).
