Save on running costs

Commercial Heating & Cooling Rebates (VEU Program)

Government-funded discounts to upgrade your business HVAC systems.

Replace Or Upgrade

Upgrading your commercial heating and cooling has never been easier.
Under the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program, businesses across Victoria can claim generous rebates when replacing old gas or electric systems with high-efficiency reverse-cycle air conditioners.

These rebates can be worth up to $8,820 per system, and there’s no limit on the number of units a business can upgrade. Whether you run a warehouse, retail space, school or office complex, the VEU program makes it cheaper to modernise your climate control while cutting ongoing energy bills.

The program is available to all Victorian businesses.

No More Gas

Ditch the gas bill and the headaches that come with it. Modern reverse-cycle (electric) systems deliver powerful heating and cooling from a single unit, using a fraction of the energy of old gas gear. No more flues, safety checks, or volatile gas prices just clean, efficient comfort that’s easy to maintain and simple to scale across your sites. With VEU rebates applied per system, switching from gas to efficient electric is one of the fastest ways to cut operating costs while hitting your sustainability targets.

WHAT IS THE VEU REBATE PROGRAM?

The Victorian Energy Upgrades program is an official government initiative designed to help homes and businesses reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions.
When you replace or upgrade an approved energy-efficient product, accredited providers create Victorian Energy Efficiency Certificates (VEECs). These certificates are traded on the energy market, and the proceeds fund your upfront rebate.

For business owners, that means you don’t have to apply or wait for reimbursement, the discount is built directly into your quote.

How Much Can Your Business Save?

Because rebates are applied per installation, there’s effectively no cap on total value.
A single ducted system can attract an up-front discount of up to $8,820, while multi-system sites such as schools, factories or commercial offices can receive tens of thousands of dollars in total incentives.

Example:
A light-industrial facility replaces five 32 kW ducted gas heaters with five high-efficiency reverse-cycle units.

  • Rebate per system: $6,230 × 5 = $31,150

  • Estimated energy saving: $9,000–$12,000 per year

  • Carbon reduction: ≈ 25 tonnes CO₂ annually
