Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU)

The VEU program supports efficient upgrades like heat pump hot water and reverse cycle heating & cooling — reducing your out-of-pocket cost even further. See our VEU services below.

Rebate amounts and eligibility change over time and depend on your circumstances. We confirm exactly what you qualify for as part of your free quote.

Victorian Energy Upgrades

Our VEU upgrade services

We deliver these upgrades under the Victorian Energy Upgrades program — the discount is applied upfront on your invoice by assigning Victorian energy efficiency certificates (VEECs), so there's no government paperwork for you.

  • Significantly lower hot water running costs, year round
  • Pre-installation sizing to suit your household's usage

  • Pairs perfectly with solar — heat your water from your roof

47 VEU Activity 47 · Commercial & IndustrialCommercial Solar PV — 30 to 200 kW New Activity

Businesses installing solar between 30 kW and 200 kW can now access upfront VEU discounts. Certificates (VEECs) are created on a deemed basis at installation — dramatically improving project payback on top of the energy savings themselves.

  • Grid-connected systems from 30 kW up to 200 kW of solar module capacity — new connections or connection alterations
  • Installed in compliance with your distributor's (DNSP) connection agreement
  • CEC-approved panels and inverters only, installed by appropriately licensed and accredited teams
  • We advise the best incentive pathway for your project — STCs, VEECs or a staged approach — before you commit

These upgrades are delivered under the Victorian Energy Upgrades program administered by the Essential Services Commission. Eligibility criteria, installation limits and minimum co-payments apply under the VEET Regulations 2018 and VEU Specifications; residential products are listed on the VEU Register of Products, and commercial solar under Activity 47 uses CEC-approved modules and inverters. Discounts are delivered by assigning Victorian energy efficiency certificates (VEECs) — we confirm your eligibility and entitlements before any work begins.

For Landlords & Property Managers

New rental minimum standards are coming — 1 March 2027

Victoria's new energy efficiency minimum standards for rental properties phase in from 1 March 2027. Every rental will eventually need efficient electric heating, cooling, hot water and more. Here's the timeline every rental provider should know.

From 1 Mar 2027

New leases & end-of-life replacements

  • Heating & hot water systems that fail must be replaced with efficient electric — heat pump hot water or reverse cycle air conditioning
  • At a new lease (or conversion to periodic): efficient fixed cooling in the living area
  • Ceiling insulation to R5.0 by an accredited installer where none exists
By 1 Jul 2030

Every rental, regardless of lease

  • Efficient cooling must be installed in the main living area of all rental homes — even if no new lease has been signed
  • No property escapes the deadline: waiting only concentrates cost and installer demand closer to the cut-off
Landlord Early-Bird Offer Beat the 2027 compliance rushUpgrade now at today's VEU-discounted pricing

When March 2027 arrives, thousands of rental providers will chase the same installers at once — and today's generous VEU incentives are reviewed over time. Upgrading now means locked-in pricing, first pick of install dates, and a compliant, more lettable property years ahead of the deadline.

  • Free landlord compliance assessment — we audit your property (or whole portfolio) against every 2027 & 2030 standard
  • Heat pump hot water & reverse cycle A/C changeovers at current VEU-discounted rates (Activities 1D, 3C & 6)
  • Add solar with the Solar for Rentals rebate — up to $1,400 for eligible landlords
  • Multi-property & real estate agency packages with one invoice, one accountable team and priority scheduling

1 Mar 2027First standards take effect

Up to $1,400Solar for Rentals rebate for eligible landlords

Standards summarised from energy.vic.gov.au and Consumer Affairs Victoria as announced; requirements phase in by lease events and end-of-life replacements, and exemptions apply (e.g. some apartments with shared ceiling spaces or centralised systems). VEU discount values change over time and depend on eligibility — we confirm your exact entitlements and out-of-pocket costs in writing before any work begins. Ceiling insulation is coordinated through appropriately accredited insulation installers, with VEU insulation discounts expected from 1 January 2027.
