VEU Rebates Available

Eligibility generally applies to Victorian homes and businesses upgrading from older, less efficient systems to VEU-approved products. Your property must usually be more than two years old, and you must replace an existing heating or cooling system with an approved energy-efficient alternative. Accredited providers like Prolec will assess your eligibility and guide you through the process. Assessments ensure the proposed upgrade meets all criteria before installation.

The VEU rebate covers a wide range of energy-efficient upgrades, including reverse-cycle air conditioners, ducted heating, heat pump hot water systems, LED lighting, induction cooktops, solar panels, and draught sealing. The program is designed to help both households and businesses reduce energy usage and greenhouse gas emissions. Eligible HVAC equipment must meet efficiency thresholds and approved product lists.

To claim the rebate, you must use an accredited VEU provider who will help you select eligible products, handle the paperwork, and complete the installation. The provider will apply the rebate as an upfront discount, so you pay less at the time of installation. Retrospective rebates may be possible if you’ve already upgraded, but it’s best to engage with an accredited provider before starting any work. The  scope, documentation, and commissioning are managed to meet program compliance.

Yes, upgrading through the VEU program not only lowers your energy bills but also helps reduce your home’s carbon footprint. The program is expected to save millions of tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions in Victoria, supporting both state and national environmental goals. Prioritising high-efficiency HVAC systems compounds emissions reductions over the equipment lifecycle.
