What is the VEU Program?
The VEU program (Victorian Energy Upgrades) is an initiative by the Victorian Government to make energy efficiency upgrades more affordable. It provides rebates and discounts for installing approved energy-saving products in homes. In a nutshell, the program rewards you for replacing old, inefficient appliances (like heaters and air conditioners) with modern, efficient ones. This means you pay less upfront for upgrades and enjoy long-term savings on your bills.
Benefits of the VEU program include:
Lower Energy Bills: Upgrade to efficient appliances and see significant reductions in your power bills each month.
Generous Rebates: Receive government rebates (worth up to thousands of dollars) that cut the cost of installing new heating and cooling systems.
Reduced Emissions: Using less energy means your household produces fewer greenhouse gases – a win for the environment.
Improved Comfort: Enjoy a more reliable, effective heating and cooling system that keeps your home comfortable year-round, while also potentially boosting your property value.
How the VEU Rebate Works
Taking advantage of the VEU rebate is easy. Here’s a step-by-step guide for homeowners and landlords to follow:
Check Your Eligibility: First, determine if your home or rental property qualifies for the VEU program. (Most Victorian homes do – especially if you have an older gas heater or inefficient system to replace.) Contact us and we’ll help verify your eligibility and answer any questions.
Choose an Approved System: Select a VEU-approved energy-efficient heating/cooling system to install. Typically, this means replacing your outdated gas heater with a high-efficiency reverse-cycle air conditioner that can both heat and cool your home. We’ll guide you in choosing the right unit that maximizes your rebate.
Accredited Installation:
An accredited company (like ECO HVAC Solutions) must perform the installation. Our licensed technicians will install your new system in line with all VEU program requirements. (Only accredited installations qualify for the rebate, so you get peace of mind knowing the job is done correctly and meets the program standards.)
Receive Your Rebate:
Once the upgrade is done, you receive the VEU rebate as a discount off the installation cost. The rebate amount is determined by the efficiency improvement and the size of your new system – it can be as high as $10,000 in some cases! This government incentive directly reduces the amount you pay for the new heating and cooling system.
Enjoy the Savings:
With your new efficient system up and running, you’ll start saving immediately on energy costs. In fact, an average household can save up to $1,100 per year on energy bills by switching from an old gas heater to a modern reverse-cycle air conditioner. Plus, you’ll enjoy a more comfortable home climate and no more worries about sky-high heating bills in winter.
Who is Eligible?
Eligibility in a nutshell:
Any Victorian household still using an old least 2-year-old house), inefficient heating system (like gas ducted heaters, gas wall furnaces, or very old electric heaters) has a great chance to qualify. The key is that an approved efficient system is installed by an accredited provider through the program. If you’re unsure about your eligibility, just reach out to us – we’ll help figure it out.
