Victorian Energy Upgrades

What Is the Victorian Energy Upgrades Program?

The Victorian Energy Upgrades program is a state government initiative designed to make homes and businesses more energy efficient. By replacing old, inefficient heaters or air conditioners with modern reverse cycle air conditioners under this initiative, you can:

– Reduce installation costs of up to 30%
– Lower your annual energy bills by up to $1,010 per year
– Reduce greenhouse gas emissions permanently
– Improve your indoor comfort all year round

The discounts come from Victorian Energy Efficiency Certificates (VEECs), which are created every time you upgrade to a system that uses less energy. The more efficient your upgrade, the bigger your rebate.

Who Is Eligible for Heating & Cooling Rebates in Victoria?

The program is open to all Victorians:

– Homeowners
– Renters (with landlord approval)
– Businesses and commercial properties

Eligibility requirements:

– Products must carry at least a 5-year warranty
– Property is generally more than 2 years old
– System must be on the VEU approved product list

How Much Can You Save?

Your rebate depends on the type of system you’re replacing and the new unit installed. Here are some examples:

– Replace a hard-wired electric heater with a reverse cycle split system → up to $840 rebate
– Replace a non-ducted gas heater with an efficient reverse cycle system → $630 to $1,610 rebate
– Replace a large central ducted electric heater with a ducted reverse cycle system → up to $5,460 rebate
– Replace a gas ducted with a ducted reverse cycle → up to $8,000

On top of rebates, you’ll enjoy ongoing savings every year with lower running costs.

FAQs

How does the Victorian Energy Upgrades rebate work?

When you replace an old system with an approved, energy-efficient unit, VEECs are created. These certificates are traded and converted into rebates that reduce your upfront costs.

Do renters qualify for heating & cooling rebates?

Yes. Rental properties are eligible if the landlord and tenant both agree to the upgrade.

How long do rebates last?

Rebate values fluctuate based on VEEC prices. To secure today’s higher incentives, it’s best to book your upgrade as soon as possible.
