Victorian Government Air Conditioning Rebate (VEU)
The VEU program, explained, and sorted for you.
Replace your old gas heater or inefficient air conditioner with a new reverse cycle system and cut the cost through the Victorian Government’s VEU program. Celik Group is based in Melbourne and manages the full rebate process for split system and ducted installs alike. We check your eligibility, apply the discount to your quote, and take care of the paperwork.
What is the VEU rebate?
The Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program is a state government scheme that helps Victorian households and businesses replace old, inefficient heating and cooling with energy-efficient reverse cycle air conditioning.
Most people simply call it the government air conditioning rebate, and that’s exactly what it is. Eligible installs generate Victorian Energy Efficiency Certificates (VEECs), and that value is passed straight back to you as a discount on your install price. Celik Group manages this process for you, so the discount is applied on the day, with no separate claim to lodge.

Do I need to apply for the rebate myself?
No. We manage the rebate process for you, and your discount is applied directly to your quote.
What systems qualify for the VEU rebate?
Reverse cycle air conditioning systems that meet the program’s efficiency requirements qualify, including ducted, multi-head split, and single split systems from approved brands.
Can businesses claim the VEU rebate?
Yes. Eligible Victorian businesses can access the same VEU discount as households when upgrading to an approved reverse cycle system.
Is there a government rebate for air conditioners in Victoria?
Yes. The Victorian Government funds the VEU program, and eligible households and businesses can get a discount applied directly to the cost of an approved reverse cycle system.
Do I need council approval to install a ducted system in Melbourne?
Most ducted air conditioning installations in Melbourne do not require council approval, as they are typically classified as exempt development under Victoria’s planning regulations. Celik Group Air Conditioning advises customers on any permit requirements specific to their property type and location before installation begins.
Does the rebate cover split system air conditioners?
Yes. Split system air conditioner rebates are available under the VEU program, alongside multi-head split and ducted systems.
Is there a minimum contribution?
The VEU program requires a minimum customer contribution, which varies by system type and size. We’ll outline this clearly in your quote, with no hidden costs.
