VEU Rebate for Gas-to-Electric Heating & Cooling Changeovers
Make the Switch. Save Thousands. Stay Comfortable.
At Direct Point Heating & Cooling, we’re an Accredited Provider under the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) Program, helping Melbourne homeowners upgrade from old gas heating to efficient electric reverse cycle systems.
With rebates of up to $5,000 applied at the point of installation.*
If you’re renovating, replacing a failed gas unit, or simply upgrading to a more energy-efficient solution, the VEU rebate makes it easier and significantly more affordable.
What is the VEU Rebate?
The Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program is a government-backed initiative that helps Victorians reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions. Through this scheme, you can access substantial rebates when switching from gas ducted heating to an approved electric reverse cycle heating and cooling system.
These rebates are designed to reduce the upfront cost of installation, and the process is fully managed by our qualified team.
Why Switch from Gas to Electric?
Gas heating is becoming increasingly expensive and less environmentally viable. Electric reverse cycle systems offer a smarter, more flexible alternative — and now, thanks to the VEU, they’re more affordable than ever.
- Electric systems are significantly more energy-efficient, especially when reverse cycle is used for both heating and cooling
- You can control zones and individual room temperatures for personalised comfort
- They integrate with solar PV systems, further lowering your energy bills
- No more carbon monoxide risks, pilot lights, or gas leaks
- Electric systems are eligible for ongoing energy savings and support under government programs
How Does the VEU Rebate Work?
As a VEU-accredited provider, Direct Point manages the entire rebate process from start to finish. You don’t need to submit forms or chase paperwork — we take care of that for you.
You may be eligible if:
- You currently use gas ducted heating or a gas wall furnace
- You’re replacing it with an electric reverse cycle ducted system
- Your property is located in Victoria
Here’s what we do:
- Assess your property and confirm eligibility
- Recommend the right energy-efficient system
- Apply the rebate upfront to your quote
- Install your new electric system to VEU compliance standards
- Handle all paperwork and certificate processing
What Are VEECs?
VEECs (Victorian Energy Efficiency Certificates) are the currency of the VEU program. Each certificate represents one tonne of carbon emissions avoided through energy-saving upgrades. By upgrading your gas system to electric, VEECs are generated and sold to energy retailers, which subsidises your installation costs.
In short — you upgrade your home and the state reduces emissions
How Much Can You Save?
Savings depend on several factors, including:
- The type and efficiency of your existing gas system
- The size and performance rating of your new electric system
- Your home’s layout and heating/cooling requirements
- Current VEEC certificate market value
In most cases, households making the switch can save up to $5,000 off the total installation cost, in addition to reducing ongoing energy expenses.
