About the program

What the VEU program is

Victorian Energy Upgrades is a Victorian Government program that makes energy efficient products cheaper to put in. The idea is simple: an efficient system costs less to run, so the government helps with the cost of switching.

For eligible upgrades the discount comes off the price of the job, so there is no separate claim for you to lodge and no waiting on money back. How much you save depends on the system, the property and what is being replaced, and it is shown on your quote before you decide.

  • Discount taken off the job, not claimed back later
  • Homes and businesses can both qualify
  • Owners and renters can both qualify, renters may need landlord consent
  • Victorian properties only, Moama and NSW are not eligible
  • Eligibility checked before you commit to anything

Eligible upgrades

What we can do under the program

We carry out two kinds of VEU upgrade, both of them heating and cooling. If you are not sure which one fits, pick "not sure" when you check your eligibility and we will work it out with you.

Air conditioning

Reverse cycle air conditioning

Replacing an old or inefficient split system or ducted unit with a high efficiency reverse cycle system. The new system has to meet the program’s efficiency rating, and we quote models that do.

Heating replacement

Heating and cooling replacement

Moving off ducted gas heating, an old electric heater or an ageing unit onto a reverse cycle system that heats and cools for less. Tell us what you have now and we will check whether the switch qualifies.

Victorian Energy Upgrades questions

It is a Victorian Government program that reduces the cost of energy efficient upgrades for homes and businesses. For eligible heating and cooling upgrades, the discount comes off the price of the job rather than being claimed back later.

Victorian homes and businesses. Owners and renters can both qualify, though renters may need their landlord’s consent for some upgrades. What you qualify for also depends on the system and what it replaces, which is what we check before we quote.

Two: replacing an old or inefficient air conditioner with a high efficiency reverse cycle system, and replacing heating and cooling such as ducted gas with a reverse cycle system.

It varies with the system you choose, its size, the property and what is being replaced, so there is no single figure that holds for everyone. We confirm the amount for your job and show it on the written quote before you decide.

No. The discount is taken off the price of the job, so you pay the lower amount up front and there is no separate claim for you to lodge.

No. VEU is a Victorian Government program, so properties in Moama and the rest of New South Wales are not eligible. We still install and quote heating and cooling on the NSW side, just without the VEU discount.

Often, yes. Renters can access VEU rebates, but you may need your landlord’s consent before the work goes ahead. Tick "I rent the property" in the form and we will talk you through it.
