How to get the air conditioner upgrade under VEU program?
The split system air conditioner rebate program offers Victorian homeowners the opportunity to receive substantial rebates for upgrading their replacing their existing air conditioning systems with 3 to 6 times more energy-efficient reverse cycle aircons. This initiative is part of the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program, aimed at promoting energy efficiency across the state.
Getting an air-conditioner upgrade under the VEU program is straightforward. Simply select a right-sized reverse air-conditioning unit from the VEU program registry and engage an accredited installer. The installer will quote you a discount on the product you selected. And if you agree to the offer, the installer will schedule the installation of the reverse/heat pump based air-conditioning system and carry out the installation on the scheduled date and time.
Types of reverse cycle air conditioners offered under VEU Program
Four types of air conditioners are being offered under heating and cooling rebate program:
- Single split: It has a single outdoor heat exchanger unit connected to a single indoor unit. These air-conditioning systems are suitable for heating/cooling a single room or space.
- Multi-split: These systems have one outdoor heat exchanger unit connected to multiple indoor (which can be multiple floor-standing units and ceiling units) units. Such systems are space and cost-efficient, as it requires only one outdoor unit to heat different kinds of spaces. Moreover, with a multi-split air conditioning system, temperature zones can be created to serve different air-conditioning needs of different spaces within your home.
- Ducted: Unlike in multi-split systems where multiple indoor units are visible (on wall/ceiling or floor), in ducted air-conditioning systems, the single indoor fan coil unit is employed. It is not visible as it is installed in the ceiling cavity. The indoor unit delivers heated/cooled air to different rooms/spaces of your home through ducts and ceiling-mounted diffuser. The circulation of air (and its temperature) can be controlled through a wall-mounted zone controller or a phone application. All spaces are air-conditioned uniformly in a ducted AC system.
- Ductless: Indoor units are installed in different spaces. Users have the option to set a different temperature set point and the spaces are heated/cooled differently as per the user preferences.
