What HVAC Products Qualify for the Rebate?
Discover How You Can Save Big with Energy-Efficient Heating and Cooling Systems in Victoria
If you’re living in Melbourne or anywhere across Victoria and considering an HVAC upgrade, now is the perfect time. Thanks to the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program, homeowners and businesses can take advantage of generous VEU Rebate on approved HVAC products. But which systems actually qualify?
Let’s explore the most common HVAC products that are eligible for rebates—and how Melbourne Aircon Specialist can help you claim them effortlessly.
1. Single Split Reverse Cycle Air Conditioners
These are one of the most popular and affordable systems for heating and cooling a single room or area. Eligible high-efficiency models under the VEU program can attract rebates that significantly reduce your upfront costs.
Why choose it?
- Great for bedrooms, offices, or living rooms
- Energy-efficient and cost-effective
- Easy installation with quick turnaround
2. Multi Split Reverse Cycle Air Conditioners
Multi-split systems connect one outdoor unit to multiple indoor units—perfect for zoned temperature control throughout your home or office. These systems often qualify for higher rebates due to their larger coverage and energy-saving capabilities.
Ideal for:
- Homes with 2 to 5 rooms needing individual climate control
- Saving energy with zoning features
- Space-constrained properties
3. Ducted Reverse Cycle Air Conditioners
Ducted systems offer whole-home heating and cooling via a network of ducts. Under the rebate scheme, energy-efficient ducted systems can offer some of the largest rebates available, especially for larger homes and commercial setups.
Best for:
- Large family homes
- Clean and modern interior (no wall units)
- Consistent climate control in every room
4. Other Qualifying Systems
Beyond split and ducted units, several other HVAC products may also qualify, including:
- Evaporative coolers (high-efficiency models)
- Heat pumps (for space or water heating)
- Upgraded controls and zoning systems
Rebate eligibility often depends on the product’s energy efficiency rating, brand, model, and the type of upgrade (replacement or new install).

What types of HVAC systems qualify for the VEU rebate?
The VEU program provides rebates for a range of energy-efficient HVAC systems, including:
Systems must meet VEU-approved energy ratings and be installed by licensed providers.
Split system air conditioners (reverse cycle)
Ducted reverse cycle heat pump systems
Electric heat pump hot water systems
Evaporative coolers (in some cases)
Do all brands qualify for the rebate?
No. Only VEU-approved brands and models are eligible. Popular rebate-eligible brands include Daikin, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Neo Power, Ecogenica, Emerald, and others that meet strict efficiency and performance standards.
Can I get a rebate for upgrading from gas heating to a split system?
Yes. One of the most popular rebate pathways is replacing old gas heaters with energy-efficient electric systems, such as reverse cycle split systems or heat pump units. This not only qualifies for rebates but also improves safety and reduces your carbon footprint.
Is the rebate available for both cooling and heating systems?
Yes. Most reverse cycle (heating and cooling) systems are eligible. The rebate is based on energy efficiency and how much the new system improves energy savings compared to what it replaces.
