Did you know the Victorian Government can pay for a significant portion of your new air conditioning installation?
Through the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program, homeowners and businesses can access substantial financial incentives to replace old, inefficient heating and cooling systems with modern, energy-efficient reverse cycle technology.
At Air Control Australia, we are a fully accredited VEU provider. We handle the entire process in-house—from assessing your eligibility to managing the compliance paperwork—so you receive your discount upfront without the hassle.
What is the VEU Program?
The Victorian Energy Upgrades program (formerly known as VEET) is a government initiative designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
When you install energy-efficient equipment, you create Victorian Energy Efficiency Certificates (VEECS). Each certificate represents one tonne of greenhouse gas prevented from entering the atmosphere. We trade these certificates on your behalf and pass the value directly to you as a discount on your invoice.
Eligibility: Can You Claim a Rebate?
Most Victorian households are eligible, provided you meet a few simple criteria. Unlike some other schemes, the VEU program is not means-tested, meaning you do not need a low-income card to qualify.
You are likely eligible if:
Your property is more than 2 years old (new builds typically do not qualify).
You are replacing an inefficient heating or cooling system (such as an old gas heater or electric resistance heater).
You use an accredited provider like Air Control Australia to supply and install the system.
Save Money with Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU)
Did you know you could be eligible for government incentives when you upgrade your home heating and cooling?
Air Control Australia is an accredited provider for VEECS (Victorian Energy Efficiency Certificates) rebates . We help homeowners replace old, inefficient systems with modern, energy-efficient reverse cycle technology.
The Most Popular Upgrades
The highest rebates are generally available for “fuel switching”, moving from gas to electric.
Replace Gas Ducted Heating
Swap your expensive, gas-guzzling ducted heater for a Ducted Reverse Cycle System. This provides heating and cooling throughout your home from a single system, removing the need for two separate units. Benefit: Eliminate gas bills and gain year-round comfort.
Replace Gas Space Heaters
Replace an old wall furnace or gas space heater with a modern Split System. Benefit: Safer air quality (no carbon monoxide risk) and highly efficient zoning for living areas.
Replace Old Electric Systems
Upgrade inefficient “slab heating” or electric resistance heaters to energy-efficient reverse cycle air conditioning.
