Our team can assess your property and recommend an aircon solution tailored to your home, preferences and budget.

Single split system: 2-3 hours Multi-split system: 1-2 days (depending on number of units) Ducted air conditioning: 1-3 days (depending on size of property and zoning requirements) Mini VRF system: 1-2 days VRF System: 1-3 days (install times can vary greatly depending on project size)

What government rebates and incentives are available for air conditioners in Victoria?

In Victoria, the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program offers rebates to help households and businesses install energy-efficient reverse cycle air conditioners. Discounts vary depending on the type of system installed and what it’s replacing, with both split systems and ducted systems eligible. Most homeowners, renters (with landlord approval), and businesses can qualify, provided the installation is done by an accredited VEU installer. Rebates are usually applied as an upfront discount, making it easier to upgrade without the full upfront cost.

Am I eligible for the VEU rebate?

Residential homes and businesses throughout Victoria are eligible for VEU rebates. That includes homeowners and renters. Rebates are only available for products listed on the VEU Register of Products installed by accredited VEU providers. We can help assess eligibility and ensure compliance.

What is ducted reverse-cycle air conditioning?

Ducted reverse-cycle systems provide whole-home heating and cooling from a single unit, using electricity rather than gas. They distribute air through discreet vents in each room and can be zoned for greater comfort and efficiency.

Do rebates apply if I currently use gas ducted heating?

Yes — if you are upgrading from a gas ducted heating system to a high-efficiency reverse-cycle air conditioner, you may be eligible for rebates under the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program. These incentives are designed to help households reduce energy bills and transition to cleaner, more sustainable heating and cooling. Rebates are not available for installing new gas systems, as the government encourages a shift towards electric solutions.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Aaron, Qiang Ge, and Shiyuan for the installation of a new air conditioning system, and I couldn't be more impressed with their service. From start to finish, the team was professional, efficient, and incredibly knowledgeable. Aaron, the team leader, was particularly impressive—clear in his communication, highly organised, and always focused on delivering quality results. He took the time to explain the installation process and ensured everything was done to a high standard. Excellent customer service as well. He took the effort to get a matching silicone from nearby Bunnings. Qiang Ge and Shiyuan were equally professional, courteous, and hardworking throughout the job. Their attention to detail and teamwork really stood out. The installation was completed smoothly, on time, and with minimal disruption. They left the space spotless, which I greatly appreciated. Overall, this team went above and beyond my expectations. I highly recommend Aaron, Qiang Ge, and Shiyuan to anyone looking for reliable and top-quality aircon installation services.

Being ineligible for the VEU rebate made installing air conditioners in my three bedrooms during the summer of EOY 2024 quite expensive. If it’s not absolutely necessary, I wouldn’t recommend installing air conditioners in summer. I contacted more than 10 providers, and Victoria Aircon was the only one that didn’t have a long waiting list and offered a reasonable price during the EOY 2024 Christmas holiday. The weather on the installation day was unpleasant, as it had been drizzling and cold until the work was completed. This may have contributed to hidden failures down the line. Their after-sales warranty service is the main reason I’m taking the time to write this complimentary review. Unlike some VEU outsourcing companies that act as empty shells, this company truly honours their warranty commitments responsibly and promptly. A tricky issue was resolved soon by a skilled in-house technician without any extra charges.

The frequency of air conditioning servicing depends on a few factors including the type of system, amount of usage, unit placement, and some environmental factors. As a general guideline, we recommend having your air conditioning system serviced at least every 2 years.

Reverse cycle air conditioning is a system that provides both cooling in summer and heating in winter using the same unit. It works by transferring heat rather than generating it, making it an energy-efficient way to keep your home comfortable all year round.

Split system air conditioners are affordable, energy-efficient, and easy to install. They allow you to heat or cool individual rooms, provide quiet operation, and offer precise temperature control, making them a flexible option for homes and small offices.

A multi-head split system uses one outdoor unit connected to multiple indoor units, allowing you to control the temperature in different rooms independently. It’s a great option when ducted systems aren’t suitable but you still want efficient whole-home comfort.

Install indoor units should be positioned high on the wall and as close to the centre of the room as possible. This positioning helps distribute airflow evenly throughout the space. Choose a spot that you can still access for cleaning and maintenance when needed.

For split systems, outdoor units are typically placed against the exterior wall of the room being cooled or heated. A qualified installer will ensure the unit is positioned in a location that minimises vibration and complies with noise regulations.

Installation time will depend on the type and size of the system being installed, as well as other factors like property size, accessibility, and any electrical or structural work required. A single split system will typically take 2-3 hours to install. A multi-split system may take 1-2 days (depending on number of units).

A ducted air conditioner delivers whole-home comfort with discreet vents in each room, allowing you to heat or cool your entire home from a single system. It offers quiet operation, even air distribution, and the option to zone areas for greater energy efficiency and control.

Installation time will depend on the type and size of the system being installed, as well as other factors like property size, accessibility, and any electrical or structural work required. A complete ducted system may take 1-3 days (depending on size of property and zoning requirements).

Gas ducted heating is a central heating system that uses natural gas to warm air and distribute it through ducts and vents across your home. It provides fast, reliable, and energy-efficient whole-home comfort, with options for zoning so you only heat the rooms you need.

Yes — modern ducted reverse-cycle systems are highly efficient. They use advanced inverter technology to deliver effective heating and cooling while consuming less power. When paired with solar, they can significantly reduce your running costs and carbon footprint.

We supply a wide range of leading solar panels from trusted brands. For most residential and commercial installations, we recommend the Jinko 440W and 510W panels due to their strong performance, reliability, and excellent warranty. Depending on your roof size and energy needs, we can also provide alternative options tailored to your situation.

We sell and install most brands on the market, but we generally recommend Clenergy, Foxess, AlphaESS, Deye and Sigenergy.

Through the Solar Homes Program, eligible households can access rebates for solar panel installations, interest-free loans to reduce upfront costs, and rebates for solar hot water systems. Victorians can also benefit from the federal Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) scheme, which lowers the cost of solar at the point of purchase.
