Renters, you are eligible as well.
The Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program is renter-friendly! Renters can benefit from the rebates offered on energy-efficient heating and cooling systems, but with a few key points to consider:
Get your landlords approval
Since the upgrade involves the property itself, you will need written approval from your landlord before proceeding. Please make sure you get approval before contacting us.
Joint decision making together
Ideally, both the renter and landlord should discuss the benefits and potential cost-sharing for the upgrade. The energy savings on bills can benefit both parties.
What are VEEC certificates?
These are certificates awarded for verifiable energy savings. When you upgrade to a VEU-approved air conditioner, the energy savings generated by the new system contribute to the creation of VEECs. These certificates have market value and can be sold by accredited persons (like installers) to retailers who are obligated to surrender a certain number of VEECs each year.
VEU program approves energy-efficient systems.
The VEU program acts as your trusted source for high-performance air conditioning systems. Choosing a VEU-approved system guarantees you’re getting a top-notch air conditioner that not only keeps you comfortable but also significantly reduces your energy consumption.
Upgrading to a VEU-approved system generates VEECs.
When you upgrade to a VEU-approved system, you’re not just investing in comfort, you’re contributing to a greener future! The energy savings achieved by your new system contribute to the creation of VEECs. These certificates hold market value and can be sold by accredited installers.
Accredited installers sell VEECs for you.
Accredited installers like us can sell the VEECs generated by your system. The value from selling these certificates translates to more savings for you. Choosing a VEU-approved system and working with an accredited installer can lead to a lower upfront cost for your air conditioning upgrade.
