VEU Eligible Systems: How Victorians Can Save Big on Energy Upgrades
How Solar Pays for Itself in Victoria and Reduces Electricity Bills
If you live in Victoria and want to reduce your power bills while making your home more sustainable, understanding VEU eligible systems is essential. The Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program offers generous rebates that make upgrading your air conditioning, hot water, or solar system more affordable than ever. Many homeowners and business owners are already taking advantage of these incentives to cut costs and improve energy efficiency—so why not you?
What Are VEU Eligible Systems?
- VEU eligible systems are energy-efficient products and appliances approved under the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program. These systems help households and businesses reduce greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption by switching to more efficient technology.
Examples of VEU eligible systems include:
– Reverse cycle air conditioners
– Heat pump hot water systems
– Solar PV and battery systems
– Commercial heat pump systems
– Efficient lighting and insulation upgrades
Each of these systems can attract rebates or discounts under the VEU scheme, depending on the product type, your location, and the installer’s accreditation.

Types of VEU Eligible Systems Available in Victoria
1. Air Conditioning and Heating Systems
Energy-efficient air conditioners, especially reverse-cycle units, are among the most popular VEU eligible systems. They both heat and cool your home while using less energy.
2. Heat Pump Hot Water Systems
Heat pumps are one of the most efficient water-heating technologies available. They extract heat from the air to warm water, using up to 70% less electricity than traditional electric systems.
They’re also among the most highly rewarded VEU eligible systems, offering rebates for both residential and commercial properties.

Solar PV and battery systems reduce reliance on grid power and store excess energy for later use. By choosing VEU eligible systems that include solar and battery combinations, Victorians can access multiple rebate layers through Solar Victoria’s Solar Panel Rebate.

Costs and Savings with VEU Eligible Systems
The cost of upgrading depends on the system type and your property. However, rebates significantly reduce upfront costs.
For instance:
A new reverse-cycle air conditioner can cost around $2,500–$4,000 before rebates.
With VEU discounts, you could pay as little as $0–$1,500, depending on eligibility and system size.
Heat pump hot water systems can start from $0 upfront under certain conditions.
