Victorian Air-Conditioning Rebate: Save Money, Enhance Comfort, and Help the Environment!

The Victorian Air-Conditioning Rebate, part of the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program, offers households and businesses significant upfront discounts on energy-efficient reverse-cycle air conditioners and heat-pump systems. What is the Victorian Air-Conditioning Rebate?

 

This initiative provides an upfront discount to help you install new, energy-efficient heating and cooling systems, drastically reducing your initial costs. Eligible Systems

  • Reverse-cycle split systems: Room and multi-split units.
  • Ducted energy-efficient units.
  • Must be installed by an accredited VEU provider.
  • Installed as replacements for older systems in properties over two years old.



Customer Benefits

Significant Upfront Discount

  • Rebates vary from $210 to over $7,000, depending on the system type, whether it's a replacement or new installation, and its capacity.
  • You could receive up to $5,460 for replacing ducted electric resistance heaters, and between $2,520 and $2,940 for split systems replacing gas heaters.

Lower Energy Bills

  • Modern reverse-cycle systems are 3 to 6 times more efficient than old electric resistance or gas heaters.
  • Households can save hundreds to over A$1,300 annually on energy bills.
  • Switching from gas ducted heating to an efficient air conditioning system can reduce your energy costs by up to 72% per year.

Increased Comfort & Added Features

  • Enjoy both heating and cooling from a single system, unlike gas heaters which only provide heat.
  • Benefit from features like zoned control, improved indoor air quality, and smart operation for enhanced usability and comfort.

Environmental Impact

➔ The VEU program actively works to reduce greenhouse gas emissions across Victoria.
➔ By switching from gas or inefficient electric systems to heat pumps, households contribute to significant reductions in CO₂ emissions, equivalent to taking millions of cars off the road.
➔ VEU initiatives are projected to cut 28 million tonnes of emissions statewide by 2025.
