Victorian Energy Upgrades - Rebates for Heating and Cooling Systems

How much can you save

The average household can save between $120 and $1,100 on energy costs, depending on the upgrade.

Key steps when organising VEU installation

To get a discount on the installation of a heating and cooling system, you must:

  1. Install an approved product
    Hint: research these products for their suitability and quality. There are a lot of products approved for installation as part of VEU. Not all products are of the same quality or suitable for every environment.

  2. Work with an accredited provider
    We are an accredited provider and ensure that the final installed price of the appliance includes the discount.
