Melbourne’s winters can be unpredictable, with chilly mornings and cold nights making efficient home heating essential. Thanks to the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program, homeowners can now upgrade to energy-efficient, VEU-approved heating systems while enjoying generous rebates. If you’re considering a winter upgrade in 2025, here’s a roundup of the top VEU-approved heating systems designed for comfort, savings, and sustainability.
1. Reverse Cycle Air Conditioners (Split Systems)
Why Choose It?
Reverse cycle air conditioners are one of the most popular VEU-approved heating solutions. They provide both heating and cooling, making them a year-round investment.

- Highly energy-efficient, reducing electricity bills by up to 40%.
- Delivers rapid heating, ideal for Melbourne’s cold mornings.
- Rebates under the VEU program can significantly lower upfront costs.

2. Multi-Head Split Systems

Perfect for larger homes, multi-head split systems allow you to heat multiple rooms using just one outdoor unit.

✅ Best For: Families with multiple bedrooms or open-plan living spaces.
3. Ducted Reverse Cycle Heating Systems
Why Choose It?
For whole-home heating, ducted systems are the go-to choice. A single system can heat every room through vents installed in the ceiling or floor.
✅ Key Benefits:

4. Hot Water Heat Pumps with Heating Capability

While primarily designed for water heating, heat pump systems can significantly reduce your overall household energy costs. Some advanced models work alongside air conditioning to support space heating.
