I cannot recommend Kellie from Energy Makeovers highly enough – she is an absolute standout in the solar and energy efficiency industry! From the very first conversation, Kellie was incredibly efficient, responsive, and organised. She took the time to thoroughly understand my home’s energy usage and my family’s needs, and her depth of knowledge is… Read more · 1
genuinely impressive. She’s not just quoting facts – she’s genuinely well-informed about the latest products, rebates, technologies, and how everything interacts in real-world Australian conditions. What really blew me away was the execution. The quote was detailed and transparent, the timeframe she promised was spot-on (actually finished ahead of schedule!), just smooth sailing from start to finish. On top of all that, Kellie is an absolute pleasure to deal with – warm, personable, patient with all my questions, and you can tell she genuinely cares about helping her customers save money and reduce their footprint. If you’re considering solar, battery storage, or any energy upgrades in Victoria, do yourself a favour and ask for Kellie at Energy Makeovers. She’s made the whole process enjoyable. Thank you, Kellie – you’re a legend!
Kellie is super helpful. She explained different options for me and was very patient with my questions and requests. She knows her stuff which is very rare for sales people! I highly recommend Show details · 1
Excellent sales people, sold me a crap air conditioning system (was told it was a premium Chinese brand ERS tech - but even their own website doesn't mention air-conditioners) that is noisier than my 20 year old existing a/c, came with no instruction manual (and none can be found online) and after repeated follow ups to understand why the mode… Read more
change does not work, I was told that all 3 units (downstairs living room, 2 upstairs bedrooms) have to be on the same mode. Would have been great to know that before I made the purchase... DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS BUSINESS OR THIS PRODUCT

Excellent experience – My first interaction was with Kelly, I found her to be friendly helpful and efficient. The system was installed and the plumber Daniel, electricians, Guy & Christian were professional and accommodating of some minor changes that weren't quoted for. I would recommend this company to any prospective clients Show details

Amazing deal with Impressive Installation! – I looked at many reviews from multiple companies that installed hot water systems under the government rebate. Price was the main factor for me and the main concern was dodgy installers. I opted to get the Ecogenica 290FR split system. Aya from Energy Makeovers guided me through the entire process from start to finish and organised electricians… Read more
(Michael and Christian) and a plumber (Ben) for the installation. The tradesmen were very friendly, worked well together and helpful. I was extremely impressed by their care in their work, ensuring every piece and wires were connected and insulated properly. The plumber also ensured the concrete base was levelled on top of the laid out bricks to prevent flooding as we had a dip in the ground. They spent nearly the entire day doing the installation (removed the old unit and replaced it with a split system unit where the heat pump was on a bracket - free of charge too). The unit is working perfectly. On top of that, the out of pocket at the time of promotion was $490 (after rebate) which included a bonus mini bar-fridge. The price offered bet their competitors and the standard of installation was the most crucial of all - good quality install. I highly recommend Energy Makeover and have already recommended them to my friends.
LED light upgrade for basement carpark – Hello, I am the OC Secretary at High Street, Windsor VIC. Tim for Energy Makerovers provided an excellent and very professional LED light replacement service to our basement car park in August 2022. Two A Grade company electricians (Havier and Hosie) replaced around 90 fluorescent battens with new Phillips LED on time and safely. The new LED… Read more
lights provide residents with a safer environment and better environmental energy reduction outcomes. I recommend Energy Makerovers and welcome any opportunity to provide a reference. Adrian C

Energy Makeovers were quick to respond to our online enquiry and came out to quote on our heating and cooling options. Kellie was extremely knowledgeable and answered all our questions. It is such a big decision and Kellie was supportive and understanding. Highly recommend getting them to quote. Show details · 1
great service – I contacted a number of suppliers when I was considering a heat pump for hot water. Energy Makeovers won me with their great customer service from the first phone call when they carefully talked me through options and the way the government rebates worked. I did my own research on the product they recommended - Emerald 270 litre and decided to go… Read more · 1
ahead. they stayed in touch before installation, the installers were friendly, helpful and professional, a follow up query was responded to quickly. Im very happy with the product and the service.
Difficult install, great result – The installers of our new Heat Pump hot water system did an exceptional job. Our home is on a steep slope and accessing the location of the hot water system requires navigating approximately 50 steps. As well as pulling the 130kg unit up theses steps, they also had to deal with adding a new electrical circuit to the meter box around 20 metres away… Read more · 1
with very tight crawl space under the house. Very happy with the end result & really appreciated the 'can do' attitude of the installers.
Negative reviews
Very Nasty Company – Further to my previous review. Energy Makeovers' Customer Support did nothing at all to fix any of the issues we are having with the installation of the heat pump. I had to call the manufacturer (Ecogenica), and they sent their technician who replaced a valve that should have been replaced during the installation, which improved the water pressure… Read more
and got rid of the loud banging sound. This valve is supplied by the manufacturer and is included in the installation package, but Energy Makeovers decided to save it for another job, not caring about the issues they created for us by their negligence and incompetence.... We still can hear a weaker hammering sound in the master bedroom wall where the heat pump is installed, that is related to the banging force that was applied by Energy Makeovers' technician on the pipes during the installation.
Muthafar, thank you for your feedback. We have passed it on to the team.
PATHETIC COMPANY - INFERIOR PRODUCT – Terrible workmanship. Weather strips were installed over the top of old weather-strips. They fell off within hours of being installed. More than 5 phone calls and email to the company and they have not bothered to get back to me. DO NOT LET THIS COMPANY ON YOUR PROPERTY. Show details
We are sorry to hear that this has occurred, We… Read more
Would not recommend in any circumstances – The contractors created an absolute disaster of the heat pump hot water system, installing the condenser shoddily on a metal wall so that it woke us up at night. It took weeks and weeks to get the company to do anything about it. The contractors also lied and said that there was nothing they could do about it as the condenser only came with 500mm… Read more
of pipe .... instead of the 20m that it actually comes with. It could have been neatly installed out of view, but instead the guy they sent had to put it on the ground and I have subsequently had to pay $650 for further work tidying up the mess and trying to hide the condenser. Overall our experience is that this company leaves a lot to be desired in terms of their contractors and their customer service.

Service was okay, contractors need to do better – The overall process in getting my HWS booked and installed was fine, however I had issues with the installation and the contractors hired needed to communicate better and manage expectations. I had originally done my research prior to the install contractors coming out and knew the unit I had purchased was a bit loud. When they came out we did a… Read more
walk around and they asked me where I wanted the condenser unit mounted. I asked if they could mount on the roof and they said no due to pipe length from the HWS (fair enough), they said it had to be wall mounted to which I had asked them to mount it away from exterior windows and pointed out a specific spot. They didn't seem to have a problem with it and I left them to it.
I came back after they were done and the condenser had been mounted directly under the kitchen window and was incredibly loud, with no communication that it would be mounted differently to what we had discussed. When I pointed this out to the plumber and noted the noise, he agreed that it was very loud. He went outside and put some foam to help with the noise and vibration, but it didn't do much.
We discussed moving it to the ground, and I even had some concrete pavers in the area. He then said he couldn't help me. I asked how simple it was to just pull it off the wall and put it on the ground myself, and he said it would be easy enough but that I should discuss with Energy Makeovers first.
I did that, and after a little wait for someone to give me a call I got on to one of the team who was helpful and couldn't understand why they wouldn't have been able to help on-site at the time.
I went out and purchased anti-vibration mounts ahead of time, and they organised for the plumber to come back.
The plumber came back and did a good job in removing the unit, and mounting it properly to the pavers using the mount I provided. The downside here is that I now have holes in my weatherboard home from the mount being removed and not filled.
For whatever reason, the plumber also took the wall mount with him (which I would assume is mine given I paid for it, and was already out of pocket for the floor mounts). I decided not to bother discussing it and moved on given I had spent hours chasing this up.
Overall, the service from the Energy Makeovers team was good but their sub-contractors soured the experience. If they had cared enough to discuss with me the change in location, and did the job right, I would have likely gotten them back in for more work independently.
Ed, thank you for your feedback. I have raised… Read more
Shower head replacement – Replaced the shower head with another which fell off the wall. replaced that one with another used one he had in his bag. Dose not work properly but assured us a plumber would attend and affix the replacement one properly. Still waiting. Was happy with the original shower head. Show details
Booked 3 times, got cancelled 3 times last minute, possibly rorting government – This happened 3 times. 1) called the company's call center, got an appointment booked, everything looked fine at this stage 2) days later the appointment gets cancelled 1 day before the workmen are due to show up After 3 repeats of this, we just gave up setting up any more appointments. I suspect this company is a scam created to rort government funding. I suspect they charge the government for every appointment made, but send no one over.

Fast and efficient LED light installation – Call centre sometimes don't seem to know what they are doing so always get things confirmed with them but the young installer Rogelio was excellent, quick, efficient and friendly. Show details
Totally amateurish – The installer came in with only one suitable door seal for three doors. He was quite abrupt and was only interested in installing things even if it was obvious that they would not work eg. the shower head. He leftthe rubbish for me to clean up. Show details
Thank you for your feedback, Bill. I’m really… Read more
Easy process start to finish – Energy Makeovers attended our site for an inspection shortly after I made phone contact and arranged for the changeover of our fluro lights to LED's in the office which didn't cost me a cent. Clear communication at every step with professional and courteous installation team arriving on time and meeting all my expectations. I would not hesitate in recommending Energy makeovers to upgrade your old lights to LED's. Show details

RIP off – Their add says its $33.00 to replace your existing bulbs for led lights. But when you call them they quote $99.00 !! Why don't they put that in their advertisement? Show details

33 dollar goverment lights replacement – Great service from start to finish. Replaced 58 globes with LED and 4 outdoor spotlight with LED all for $33. Great goverment insentive. Show details
Let there be light- and there was! Finally we can see in our lounge room at night! Love it. ❤️ – Couldn’t believe this offer of replacement of our halogen downlights with free LED’s. But it was real and we are so happy- great service from Nic on the phone then right through to Adrian the electrician! Thank you so much. Will certainly recommend both company and product!

Great Service with Competitive Price – Energy Makeovers replaced over 100 halogen lights with LED globes and new fittings in our home. They provided us with a great service and Eddy, their electrician, was very thorough and a pleasure to deal with. I would definitely recommend them. Show details
Excellent job and turned up on time – The order was worked out quickly and I received the work order within an hr of starting. Electricians came in and replaced LEDs and the price charged was as agreed on the advertisement. Happy with the result. Show details
From call to install in under 24 hours – Great initiative, from call to me to install in under 24 hours without me needing to do anything. Professional and on time. Show details
Focused on customer satisfaction – I had 40 halogen downlights replaced with LEDs under the NSW Govt scheme. Energy Makeovers worked hard to ensure I knew what I was getting and how the scheme worked, and to find a suitable installation date. My only slight criticisms are that the call centre should have advised me from the outset that my dimmers would all need to be replaced if I… Read more
wanted fully functional dimming lights, and the first scheduled installation had to be rescheduled because the installer didn't turn up and didn't advise the call centre. Installer who ultimately did the job was great; friendly and efficient.
the person who installs represents the company – Really happy with the prompt service and the electrician who came to install my LED lights. got the government rebate as well. I was hesitant thinking $30 to replace all my 25 odd halogen down lights with free LED is too good to be true. the Electrician explained to me everything and even cleaned up with a box underneath all the light changes, that was a bonus being so neat and tidy coming to my unit.
