VEU-Accredited vs Non-Accredited Providers in Melbourne
There are more things to think about than just the price and type of energy-efficient air conditioning, heat pumps, or hot water systems that you can add to your home in Victoria. Whether or not your installer is a VEU-accredited supplier is one of the most important—and frequently disregarded—factors.
As a VEU-accredited installation in Melbourne, Climate Green is pleased to serve the suburbs of Melton, Ringwood, Officer, Werribee, and beyond. Knowing the difference between accredited and non-accredited suppliers might help you avoid future worry, save time, and save money if you’re thinking about upgrading.
Defination Of VEU-Accredited Provider
The Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program formally authorizes a VEU-accredited supplier to deliver installations that are eligible for state subsidies. These suppliers adhere to stringent regulations, undergo frequent audits, and guarantee that all safety and compliance requirements are fulfilled.
The Key Differences: Accredited vs Non-Accredited
| Feature | VEU-Accredited Provider | Non-Accredited Provider |
|---|---|---|
| Eligibility for Rebates | ✔ Yes – full access to VEU rebates | ❌ No – you won’t qualify for rebates |
| Government Compliance | ✔ Meets all program standards | ❌ Often bypasses permit & paperwork |
| Product Standards | ✔ Approved, high-efficiency units | ❌ May use unlisted or cheap brands |
| Safety & Quality Assurance | ✔ Licensed, certified technicians | ❌ No mandatory verification |
| Warranty & Support | ✔ Backed by warranty & aftercare | ❌ No guarantee of post-install support |
Why Non-Accredited Installers Should Be Avoided
Many businesses promote “free” or extremely inexpensive installs without disclosing that they lack accreditation. These offerings carry significant risks even though they can seem alluring:
Lack of eligibility for government rebates
No current certificates of compliance (COC)
Poor installation or unlicensed tradesmen
No formal guarantee or assistance in the event that something breaks
Homeowners can discover later that they are not qualified for rebates or, worse, that they have to pay again to correct poor quality work.

What is VEU-accredited provider
The Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program formally authorizes a VEU-accredited supplier to install energy-efficient equipment such as heat pumps, air conditioners, and hot water systems. You can only get government rebates through approved suppliers.
Can I still claim VEU rebates if I choose a non-accredited installer?
Not at all. An approved supplier must finish your installation in order for you to qualify for VEU rebates. You will lose out on possible savings because non-accredited installers are legally prohibited from processing rebates.
Are non-accredited installers cheaper?
Although they could seem less expensive up front, you might have to deal with unanticipated expenses, a lack of warranty, or poor quality craftsmanship. Furthermore, the overall cost is frequently higher over time if rebates are not available.
How do I check if a provider is VEU accredited?
By visiting the Victorian Energy Upgrades website or requesting their official provider number, you can verify a supplier’s certification. Climate Green has a Provider No. of A2360 and is fully accredited.
