How Victorian Energy Efficiency Certificates Can Lower Your Air Conditioning Costs
Keeping your home cool during Melbourne’s scorching summers can be expensive. However, Victorian Energy Efficiency Certificates (VEECs) offer a fantastic way to reduce your air conditioning costs by providing financial incentives for energy-efficient upgrades. By switching to high-efficiency air conditioning systems, improving insulation, and upgrading to better windows, you can lower energy consumption and cut down on electricity bills.
As a VEU Accredited Provider, Climate Green Melbourne specializes in energy-efficient air conditioning installations across Melbourne, Ballarat, Bendigo, and Geelong. Here’s how VEECs can help you maximize savings while upgrading your home’s cooling system.
How Much Can You Save?
Here’s the exciting part! VEECs are currently trading at over $100 each, and your savings depend on the type of air conditioning system you install.
Single Split Reverse Cycle Systems – Replacing a wall-mounted gas unit can earn you up to $2,000 off.
Multi Split Systems – If you’re replacing an old gas ducted heating system, you could save up to $3,600.
Ducted Reverse Cycle Systems – Upgrading from an old gas ducted system? You might save as much as $5,600!
By upgrading your system through Climate Green, you can take advantage of maximum rebates and enjoy long-term energy savings.
How VEECs Help Reduce Air Conditioning Costs
1. Improved Insulation
Proper insulation reduces heat transfer, keeping your home cooler in summer and warmer in winter. With better insulation, your air conditioner works less, reducing energy consumption and lowering cooling costs.
2. Efficient Windows
Old windows allow heat to enter, making your air conditioner work harder. Installing double-glazed or triple-glazed windows can minimize heat gain, keeping your home naturally cooler and reducing the load on your AC system.
3. High-Efficiency HVAC Systems ❄️
Older air conditioners use more power. Upgrading to a high-SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) air conditioning system provides better cooling performance while consuming less energy, leading to significant savings on electricity bills.
How VEECs Work
1. Incentive Program
When you install eligible energy-efficient air conditioning systems, you earn Victorian Energy Efficiency Certificates (VEECs), which can be sold on the market, reducing your out-of-pocket costs.
2. Market Value
The more energy-efficient your upgrade is, the more valuable VEECs you receive. This means bigger financial incentives for switching to energy-efficient air conditioning.
Benefits of VEECs for Air Conditioning Costs
✅ Lower Energy Bills – Cut down on power consumption and save money on cooling costs.
✅ Increased Comfort – Keep your home at a consistent, comfortable temperature year-round.
✅ Eco-Friendly Impact – Reduce energy usage and lower your carbon footprint for a greener future.
Important Considerations
Assessment Required – A qualified energy auditor must assess your home to determine eligible energy-saving upgrades.
✅ Check Eligibility – Not all air conditioning units qualify for VEECs, so ensure you choose a certified system.
