As the push for energy efficiency continues across Victoria, the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) Program has become a key resource for homeowners. Victorian Air Conditioning Solutions is here to answer your most frequently asked questions about these valuable rebates and help you maximize your energy savings in 2024.

1. What is the VEU Program, and how does it work?

The VEU Program, backed by the Victorian government, provides incentives to residents upgrading to energy-efficient solutions, such as air conditioning systems or hot water heat pumps. These upgrades help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and lower electricity costs for eligible participants.

2. Who is eligible for the VEU rebates?

Eligibility depends on your property type (residential or business) and whether you are upgrading from less efficient systems, such as gas heating or older air conditioners. Homeowners and renters can typically apply, provided the installation is done through an accredited provider like Victorian Air Conditioning Solutions.

3. What rebates are available for air conditioning systems?

The rebates focus on replacing outdated systems with high-efficiency solutions, such as:

• Split system air conditioners
• Ducted reverse cycle systems
• Hot water heat pumps

Depending on the upgrade and your location, rebates can cover up to 70% of the installation cost, significantly reducing your upfront expenses.

4. How do I apply for the rebates?

Applying is straightforward when working with an accredited provider. Victorian Air Conditioning Solutions handles the process, from verifying your eligibility to assisting with all paperwork.

5. Why upgrade under the VEU program now?

Energy-efficient systems not only save you money on energy bills but also increase comfort in your home. Upgrading now ensures:

• Reduced energy costs
• Lower carbon emissions
• Access to government-funded rebates before changes to the program occur

6. Are there any changes to VEU rebates in 2024?

Yes! The program now emphasizes heat pump technology and has updated rebate values based on energy savings potential. Upgrading to a high-efficiency air conditioner or heat pump in 2024 could mean higher rebates compared to previous years.

7. What areas in Victoria are covered under the VEU program?

Rebates are available across Melbourne and regional Victoria. Popular areas for upgrades include:

• Melbourne suburbs: Clayton, Dandenong, Footscray
• Regional hubs: Geelong, Ballarat, Bendigo

Victorian Air Conditioning Solutions offers services statewide to ensure everyone can access these benefits.

8. Are hot water heat pumps covered under VEU rebates?

Absolutely! The VEU program incentivizes energy-efficient hot water systems like heat pumps. These systems are a sustainable alternative to gas or electric storage heaters, offering significant savings.

9. What’s the difference between a ducted and split air conditioning system for rebates?

• Split systems are ideal for single rooms or smaller spaces. They’re budget-friendly and highly energy-efficient.
• Ducted systems cover entire homes, offering uniform cooling/heating. These systems receive higher rebates for larger installations.
