Upgrading to an energy-efficient air conditioner or hot water system in Victoria can be far more affordable than you think, thanks to the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) Program. But before you make the switch, it’s crucial to check whether you qualify for these government rebates.

At Greentastic Pty Ltd, we help homeowners and renters across Melbourne and Victoria understand their eligibility and claim rebates—sometimes covering up to 80–100% of the upgrade cost. Here’s a simple checklist to get you started.

✅ 1. Are You a Homeowner or a Renter?

Homeowners: If you own your property, you can directly apply for rebates.
Renters: Yes, tenants can also qualify, but the landlord’s approval is required. Rebates are often granted if the upgrade improves energy efficiency without major structural changes.

✅ 2. Is Your Current System Eligible for Replacement?

VEU rebates target old, inefficient systems. You’re likely eligible if you have:

Gas heaters or ducted gas systems (upgrading to reverse cycle air conditioning).
Electric resistance or gas hot water systems (replacing with a heat pump hot water system).
Outdated split or ducted air conditioning units with low energy ratings.

✅ 3. Are You Upgrading to an Approved System?

Not every system qualifies under the VEU Program. Check for:

VEU-approved reverse cycle air conditioners (Daikin, Mitsubishi, Midea, etc.).
VEU-approved hot water heat pumps (e.g., Emerald, Ecogenica, Midea).

At Greentastic, we only install VEU-approved systems, ensuring you don’t miss out on rebates.

✅ 4. Is the Installation Done by an Accredited Provider?

The VEU Program requires upgrades to be carried out by accredited installers. DIY or non-accredited installations will void your rebate.

✅ 5. Are You Ready with Basic Paperwork?

Before installation, you’ll need to:

Provide property details (ownership or rental agreement).
Show proof of the existing system being replaced.
Complete a VEU consent form (handled by accredited installers like us).

Failing to meet any of these conditions could mean losing rebates worth hundreds or even thousands of dollars. By working with a certified provider like Greentastic Pty Ltd, you get:
