Save Big with the VEU Program on Air Conditioning in Victoria
What is the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) Program?
The Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) Program is a state-government initiative that offers financial incentives to help households and businesses reduce greenhouse gas emissions and energy usage. By installing approved energy-efficient products, you not only lower your power bills but also reduce your environmental footprint
Established under the Victorian Energy Efficiency Target Act 2007, the VEU Program issues Victorian Energy Efficiency Certificates (VEECs) for every tonne of carbon dioxide equivalent saved. These VEECs are purchased by energy retailers to meet annual targets. Accredited providers like Evitech use the value of these certificates to offer discounted products and services.

One of the most popular upgrades under the VEU scheme is air conditioning. Modern reverse cycle split systems are highly energy-efficient, offering both heating and cooling.
To qualify:
- The unit must be listed as an approved product under the program.
- It must be installed by a VEU-accredited provider like Evitech.
Types of air conditioners eligible:
- Reverse cycle split systems
- Multi-head split systems
· Ducted reverse cycle systems (subject to conditions)
