Government Rebates

Air Conditioning Installation Victoria
VEU Rebates Up to $8,000

A poorly sized or ageing system costs you every month it runs. Planet Lookout installs high-efficiency ducted and multi-split reverse-cycle air conditioning systems across Victoria, and if you’re replacing a gas heater, significant VEU rebates apply.

Government Rebates

VEU Rebates for
Air Conditioning Upgrades

The Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) programme provides upfront discounts on eligible air conditioning installations. The rebate amount depends on what system you’re replacing and what you’re installing.

Replacement Type Rebate Range
Gas ducted → Ducted reverse-cycle $1,000 – $8,000
Gas ducted → Multi-split system $1,000 – $7,000
Gas space heater → Multi-split $900 – $3,000
Old split system → New split system $200 – $500

No income test applies. The VEU programme is open to owner-occupiers, landlords, and renters across Victoria.

Our Services

Ducted & Multi-Split
What We Install

We assess your space first, then recommend what actually suits it. A system that’s too small runs constantly. A system that’s too large cycles inefficiently and wastes power.

Ducted Reverse-Cycle Systems

Whole-home comfort from a single system. Ducted reverse-cycle systems typically attract some of the largest VEU rebates due to the scale of energy savings achieved across the entire home. We design the system around how you actually use your space — not a one-size spec sheet.

Multi-Head Split Systems

One outdoor unit, multiple indoor heads — targeted comfort for the rooms you use most. Upgrading from gas ducted heating to a multi-head split system provides more precise temperature control and customisable climate settings for individual rooms.

2026 Is the Best
Year to Upgrade

A poorly sized or ageing system costs you every month it runs — in wasted energy, inconsistent comfort, and mounting repair bills. Planet Lookout assesses your space, recommends the right system, submits your VEU application, and ensures you don’t miss a dollar of your entitlement.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked
Questions

We'll confirm what rebates you qualify for, arrange a site visit, and give you a full quote with all government incentives applied — no obligation.

What VEU rebates are available for air conditioning in Victoria?

The Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) scheme provides upfront discounts on eligible reverse-cycle air conditioning installations. Rebates range from $200–$500 for split system replacements up to $8,000 for replacing a gas ducted heater with a ducted reverse-cycle system.

Do I need to have a gas heater to access the VEU rebate?

The largest rebates are available when replacing an existing gas heater — ducted or wall-mounted. Rebates for replacing old split systems or new installations are also available but generally lower. We assess your existing system during your free consultation.

What is the difference between a ducted and a multi-split system?

A ducted system heats and cools your entire home through a central unit connected to ceiling vents — ideal for whole-home coverage. A multi-split system uses one outdoor unit connected to multiple indoor heads, giving you targeted zone control for the rooms you use most.

Which air conditioning brands do you install?

We install Rinnai, Midea, Mitsubishi Electric and Panasonic reverse-cycle systems — all VEU-approved and suited to Victorian residential and commercial properties. We recommend the right brand and model based on your space during assessment.

Is there an income test to access VEU air conditioning rebates?

No. The VEU programme has no income test — it is open to owner-occupiers, landlords, renters (with landlord consent), and businesses across Victoria.

How much can I save on my energy bills after upgrading?

Switching from gas to an efficient heat pump hot water system can save Victorian households around $400 per year on energy bills. Your actual savings will depend on your current system, household size, and energy usage.

No Cost, No Commitment.

Victoria’s rebate programmes run on monthly allocations. Once they’re claimed, they’re gone until the next release. With electrification standards changing in 2027, the Victorians who act in 2026 will be the ones who paid the least.
