Are you planning to upgrade your heating or cooling system in 2025? There’s no better time than now to take full advantage of government rebates available through the STC (Small-scale Technology Certificates) and VEU (Victorian Energy Upgrades) programs. These rebates can significantly reduce the upfront costs of installing energy-efficient systems—saving you money while reducing your carbon footprint.

At Greentastic Pty Ltd, we’ve helped thousands of Victorian households access these rebates seamlessly. Here’s a step-by-step guide to ensure you don’t miss a cent of what you’re entitled to.

✅ Step 1: Understand the Difference Between STC and VEU

• STC (Small-scale Technology Certificates): A federal rebate offered under the Renewable Energy Target (RET). It applies to eligible systems like hot water heat pumps, solar panels, and some energy-efficient appliances.
• VEU (Victorian Energy Upgrades): A state government program that provides rebates for installing energy-efficient products, including reverse cycle air conditioners, hot water heat pumps, and lighting upgrades.

Both programs can often be combined, providing substantial savings on your upgrade.

✅ Step 2: Check Your Eligibility

Before making any purchase, ensure:

• You live in Victoria
• You are upgrading from an older, less efficient system
• The new product is VEU-approved or qualifies for STCs
• Installation is completed by Experienced provider (like Greentastic)

✅ Step 3: Choose the Right System

The larger the energy savings of your new system, the higher your rebate. In 2025, homeowners can claim rebates for:

• Reverse Cycle Air Conditioners
• Hot Water Heat Pumps (like Ecogenica 270L or Emerald 270L models)
• Multi-head & ducted split systems
• Energy-efficient upgrades to gas heater replacements

Tip: Ask Greentastic to provide product-specific rebate estimates before installation.

✅ Step 4: Let the Installer Handle the Paperwork

With Greentastic, we handle the entire rebate claim process for you:

• We submit all documentation to the VEU and STC platforms
• Your discount is applied upfront – no waiting for refunds
• We ensure compliance with regulations, so you get maximum rebate value without delays

✅ Step 5: Schedule an On-Site Assessment (Free)

To help you decide:

• We assess your current system
• Check if your household qualifies for multiple rebates
• Recommend the most suitable, compliant system to reduce both energy bills and emissions

💰 How Much Can You Save in 2025?

Savings vary by location, system size, and energy efficiency rating.

💡 Pro Tips to Maximise Your Rebate

• Act early in 2025—rebate budgets are limited and can reduce later in the year.
• Avoid DIY installs—you must use Experienced to qualify.
• Keep all invoices and compliance documents for audit purposes.
• Combine upgrades (e.g., heating + hot water) for bigger savings.
