Summer heat in Melbourne becomes unexpectedly hot as people need to pull out sweaters just to stay warm and then experience intense sweating because of the scorching streets in Chapel Street. An upgrade of your struggling cooling system is worth considering because a rebate opportunity exists for such installations.
By taking advantage of the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program you can receive financial benefits from installing energy-efficient split system air conditioners. Building on this essential information comes a vital requirement that may exclude some potential candidates.
This article will explain the requirements for receiving the air conditioning rebate in Victoria.
The VEU Program stands as the first fundamental aspect which needs clarification.
Under the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program the state government leads efforts to decrease power consumption and decrease greenhouse gas emissions. The VEU program enables residences and enterprises to get discounts for installing products such as reverse cycle split system air conditioners
The systems work as both heating appliances in winter and cooling devices for summer which makes them suitable for Melbourne’s weather variations.
The VEU rebate serves as Victoria’s official thanks for responsible cooling practices.
What Kind of Rebate Are We Talking About?
Depending on the features of your split system you may receive rebates that range from $300 to $1,200 for eligible Melbourne residents. The amount of available rebate represents a generous reimbursement.
AA Plus Energy customers receive prompt rebate benefits because the provider holds accreditation which allows them to directly offset payment from your invoice.

Local Example: Lisa from Coburg
Lisa who lives in Coburg North contacted us after dealing with more than enough summer days when Coburg North reached temperatures of 35°C. Her fifteen-year-old wall unit consumed excessive electricity while the cooling system was weak in reaching the kitchen area.
Through providing Lisa with a 5-star Fujitsu split system installation coupled with processing her $880 rebate we made her life more comfortable and environmentally friendly while reducing her annual utility expenses to about $200.
According to her, it has become her most profitable acquisition since buying her air fryer. We agree.
