Victorian Air Conditioning Rebate 2025 FAQs

1. What is the Victorian Air Conditioning Rebate?
   • The rebate is part of the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program, offering financial incentives for installing energy-efficient air conditioning systems, such as reverse cycle split systems.
2. Who is eligible for the rebate?
   • Homeowners, renters (with landlord approval), and businesses in Melbourne, Bendigo, Ballarat, Geelong, and surrounding areas can qualify if they install an approved system through an accredited provider.
3. How much can I save with the rebate?
   • The rebate varies based on the air conditioning unit type, efficiency, and market energy efficiency certificate (VEEC) value. Some systems may be heavily discounted or even free under the program.
4. How do I apply for the rebate?
   • Contact an accredited air conditioning installer, who will handle the rebate process for you. You cannot apply directly as a homeowner or business.
5. What types of air conditioners are eligible?
   • Reverse cycle split systems and other energy-efficient cooling & heating units that meet the VEU program standards. Ducted and multi-split systems may also qualify.
6. Is there a deadline to claim the rebate?
   • There is no set deadline, but rebates are subject to government policy and availability. Act fast before funding runs out or rebates decrease.
7. Can rental properties apply?
   • Yes! Landlords and tenants can access rebates, provided the installation meets energy efficiency criteria.
8. What if I already have an air conditioner?
   • If your current system is old, inefficient, or a gas heater, you may be eligible for a rebate when upgrading to an energy-efficient reverse cycle system.
