VEU Program Details

The Victorian Energy Upgrades program is a government initiative that aims to help Victorians reduce their power bills and greenhouse gas emissions by providing incentives to upgrade inefficient appliances

  • The program offers incentives for households to upgrade to efficient reverse cycle air conditioners, which can heat and cool your home.
  • Only products meeting VEU program requirements can be installed under this program.
  • To get a discount on the installation of a heating and cooling system, you must install an approved product.
  • Sale and Installation of your new system must be carried out by an accredited provider.

Every Victorian household can participate in the program and be eligible for incentives for energy-efficient products and services.

Depending on the existing HVAC equipment being removed and which energy efficient air conditioners are being installed, will determine the amount of rebate available to you, this can be up to $5000 in some cases.

Private rental properties are eligible to receive upgrades under the VEU program. However, landlords and tenants should work together when undertaking any upgrades to a property.

The average household can save between $120 and $1,100 a year on energy costs depending on the upgraded equipment.

The government is offering generous rebates to encourage homeowners to upgrade their old, inefficient heating and cooling systems.

Frequently asked questions

Who is eligible for a VEU rebate?

Every household in Victoria is eligible for rebates through the Victorian Energy Upgrade (VEU) program. There are no minimum or maximum income requirements. Your property must be more than 2 years old and you must be upgrading an existing heating and cooling system with a more energy efficient system.

How much is the rebate?

The value of the rebate is specific to the type of system you remove and what type of heating or cooling system you replace it with. EZYAIR can help you select the most energy efficient product that also gives you the highest return and the rebate is taken off the price of your installation. For example:

  1. If you are replacing a gas ducted heater with a reverse cycle ducted system, the rebate is between $1000 to $5000.
  2. If you are replacing a gas ducted heater with a reverse cycle multi-split system, the rebate is between $1000 and $3500.
  3. If you are replacing a gas space heater with a reverse cycle multi-split system, the rebate is between $900 to $2000.
  4. If you are replacing an old split system with a new reverse cycle split system, the rebate is between $200 and $500.

Can I keep the gas heater being removed and install it somewhere else?

No. All decommissioned products under the VEU program must be rendered unusable and taken to an EPA approved recycling facility (where possible to be removed from site)

I received the rebate on my hot water installation. Can I get it again for heating & cooling?

Yes, you can! You can receive the VEU rebate on both heating & cooling and hot water installation.
Removing both your gas ducted heater and gas hot water system at the same time can both save you money during installation and long term on gas bills!
