How the VEU Extension to 2045 Secures Long-Term Rebates for Homeowners

By Victorian Air Conditioning Solutions

The Victorian Government’s Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program has long been a game-changer for homeowners looking to reduce energy bills and adopt energy-efficient systems. Now, with its extension to 2045, homeowners have even more reasons to consider upgrades like reverse cycle air conditioners and hot water heat pumps.

This blog explains what the extension means, how it supports future electrification, and why now is the perfect time to lock in your upgrade.

What Is the VEU Program and Its New 2045 Extension?

The VEU program offers rebates and discounts to Victorian households and businesses that replace inefficient systems with energy-efficient ones. This includes:
✔ Reverse cycle air conditioning systems (energy-efficient heating & cooling)
✔ Hot water heat pumps
✔ LED lighting, insulation, and other eco-friendly upgrades

The Victorian Government has now committed to extending this program until 2045, giving homeowners almost two decades to benefit from financial incentives while the state transitions to full electrification.

Why the Extension Matters for Homeowners

1. Long-Term Savings on Energy Bills
   The rebates will continue for years, ensuring you can switch to energy-efficient systems without high upfront costs. The sooner you upgrade, the sooner you start saving.

2. Secure Rebates Before Demand Rises
   With electrification reforms accelerating, demand for approved products and installers will grow. Locking in your rebate now ensures you benefit before potential price increases or waiting periods.

3. Support for Victoria’s Net-Zero Goals
   The extended timeline shows the government’s strong push towards a clean energy future. By upgrading now, you contribute to lowering carbon emissions while enjoying comfort and cost savings.

4. Future-Proof Your Home
   With gas phase-outs expected over time, upgrading to reverse cycle air conditioners and efficient hot water systems ensures your home stays compliant and ready for future regulations.

Why Now Is the Best Time to Upgrade

Even though the VEU program runs until 2045, early adopters benefit the most:
✅ Higher rebates are still available now
✅ Priority access to certified installers
✅ Immediate reduction in energy bills

Victorian Air Conditioning Solutions can help you upgrade to reverse cycle air conditioning or hot water heat pumps under VEU rebates — often with little to no upfront cost.
