Who's eligible
Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU)
Most Victorian homes qualify with no income test. Your home and the system you're replacing generally need to be at least two years old.
The rebate comes off your quote upfront, so there's no form to lodge and nothing to claim back later.
Solar Victoria (Solar Homes)
For owner-occupiers of existing homes, subject to a household income threshold set by the government.
Applied as an upfront rebate on eligible solar and hot water systems.
Federal incentives
Available Australia-wide on eligible solar and heat-pump hot water systems.
Passed on as a point-of-sale discount when your system is installed.
Rebate eligibility and amounts are set by the Victorian and Australian governments and can change over time. We confirm exactly what your home qualifies for before any work begins.
Rebate FAQs
Do I qualify for a rebate?
Most Victorian homes qualify for Victorian Energy Upgrades with no income test. Solar Victoria rebates have a household income threshold. We check exactly what your home is eligible for before you commit to anything.
How is the rebate paid to me?
It's applied as a discount on your quote upfront, not a rebate you claim back later. You simply pay the reduced price.
Do you use middlemen or subcontractors?
No. We're the direct installers. You deal with the people doing the work, and we complete a fully compliant installation ourselves.
Which upgrades are rebate-eligible?
The main rebate-eligible upgrades are reverse-cycle air conditioning, heat-pump hot water, solar and efficient heating. We'll point you to the ones that suit your home.
Is there a catch with government rebates?
No catch. The programs exist to help homes run on efficient, lower-energy systems. You get an efficient upgrade and a lower price, and we take care of the rebate paperwork.
Do the rebates ever change?
Yes. Government eligibility rules and amounts change over time, so we always confirm what currently applies to your home before starting.
