Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) Program: Save on Energy-Efficient Air Conditioning with Evitech
If you live in Victoria and want to lower your energy bills, the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program can help you save thousands on new energy-efficient air conditioning systems.
This guide explains how the program works, who is eligible, and how Evitech, an Authorised Provider, can help you claim your rebate and maximise your savings.
What Is the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) Program?
The Victorian Energy Upgrades Program, previously known as the Victorian Energy Efficiency Target (VEET), is a Victorian Government initiative that helps households reduce their energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.
Under the program, accredited Authorised Providers such as Evitech can offer rebates to homeowners who upgrade to approved, energy-efficient products.
When you replace your old air conditioning or heating system through Evitech, the rebate is applied directly to your installation cost, reducing your upfront expenses while helping you achieve long-term energy savings.
How Does the Victorian Energy Upgrade Rebate Work?
The rebate is provided through the creation of Victorian Energy Efficiency Certificates (VEECS), which are generated each time an eligible energy-efficient product is installed. Authorised Providers like Evitech handle the VEEC process and apply the rebate directly to your installation cost, so you receive your savings instantly without additional paperwork.
Evitech handles every part of the process, including:
- Pre-installation assessment – checking your current setup and eligibility.
- System recommendation – identifying the most efficient reverse-cycle or split system for your home.
- Professional installation – by licensed technicians following all compliance standards.
- Post-installation audit – confirming that your installation meets the VEU guidelines.
Because Evitech is an Authorised Provider, your rebate is deducted instantly from the installation cost. There is no need for separate government paperwork or waiting periods.
Who Is Eligible for the VEU Rebate?
Eligibility for the Victorian Energy Upgrade rebate is simple and broad:
- You must live in Victoria.
- Your property must be more than two years old.
- You must be upgrading an existing heating or cooling system to an approved energy-efficient system.
- You must use an Authorised Provider such as Evitech.
There are no income limits or financial criteria, meaning every Victorian household can take advantage of the rebate when upgrading to efficient air conditioning.
