The VEU rebate is not a fixed dollar amount. It is based on the number of certificates an upgrade creates, and each certificate has a market value. The more energy the upgrade saves, the larger the rebate.
Typical household savings by product
Heat pump hot water systems often attract the largest VEU rebates for a single appliance, sometimes saving hundreds to over a thousand dollars. Energy-efficient air conditioners can also deliver several hundred dollars in rebate value. Solar and battery systems can attract additional rebates under VEU and Solar Homes.
What affects the rebate value?
The key factors are the product being installed, the baseline system being replaced, the property type and location, and the current certificate price. Certificate prices move with market demand, so the final discount can vary week to week.
How the saving is passed on
Accredited Providers like Greener Upgrade (AP A003285) calculate the certificates at the time of quotation and pass the value on as a lower installed price. You do not need to pay upfront and then claim it back.
