Heating and Cooling Rebates in Victoria — What You Can Claim

One of the most popular upgrades under the VEU program is a new air conditioner. Many Victorian homes are still running old, inefficient systems that cost a lot to run. Eligible customers may be able to access discounted split system air conditioning upgrades through the VEU program. Final pricing depends on the property, existing system, product selected, installation requirements and applicable program eligibility.  

Here is what our energy-efficient air conditioners offer:

Powerful and Fast Cooling

The system uses an efficient compressor and smart design to deliver a strong flow of conditioned air quickly. Your home gets comfortable faster.

Clean, Filtered Air

Selected models include high-density filter technology designed to help significantly reduce dust and pollen in the air.  This may assist households with dust or pollen sensitivities. 

Smart Home Ready

Connect your air conditioner to Wi-Fi. This gives freedom to control it from anywhere using a mobile app. Google Home and Amazon Alexa can help manage them conveniently.

Environment- Friendly R32 Refrigerant

A safe and more eco-friendlier gas, R32 refrigerant, is used in this unit. It is better than the older refrigerant types. Makes your home comfortable with less use of energy.

Daikin, Fujitsu, Mitsubishi, Panasonic, Carrier, Midea, and Rinnai are some of the leading brands we deal with.

Emerald Heat Pumps — Save Up to 80% on Hot Water Costs

Another excellent upgrade available through the VEU program is a heat pump hot water system. As a trusted Victorian Energy Upgrades provider, Opt Energy supplies Emerald heat pumps.

Emerald heat pumps may reduce hot water energy use by up to 80% compared with conventional gas hot water systems, depending on usage, household conditions, installation and energy tariffs.  

These are not just any hot water systems. Emerald heat pumps come with Wi-Fi connectivity so you can monitor and control your hot water from your phone. You can:

• Check the real-time temperature of your hot water.
• See exactly how much energy you are using.
• Set up automated schedules using Smart Actions.
• Boost your tank to heat water quickly when needed.

DC technology makes them quieter and more reliable in operation. It has a compact, modern design. Hence, it fits neatly into most homes without taking up a lot of space.

If you have solar panels, you have got the bonus. The Solar Soaker feature may help you use surplus solar energy to run the heat pump, which can further reduce operating costs.   

Victorian households and businesses may be eligible to apply for selected upgrades under the VEU program, subject to program rules, property requirements and product eligibility.
