Free Air Conditioners in 2025? Here’s What You Really Need to Know

 Lately, there’s been a flood of claims online suggesting the Victorian Government is giving away free air conditioners. It's a tempting offer — especially with rising energy costs and scorching summers. But is it true?

The short answer: No.
There’s no program offering completely free air conditioners in Victoria this year. What does exist is the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program, which offers substantial rebates on energy-efficient systems — but not full coverage.

At Climate Green Melbourne, we’re here to clear up the confusion, protect you from misleading promotions, and guide you toward real, government-backed savings.




The Free Air Conditioner Myth

Despite what some ads and social posts suggest, there is no government initiative in 2025 that provides air conditioners entirely free of charge.

Instead, the VEU program helps reduce the out-of-pocket cost of upgrading to efficient appliances like reverse-cycle air conditioners or heat pumps. But here’s the catch:

  • The system must meet VEU energy efficiency standards

  • The work must be done by a VEU-accredited installer

  • And rebates cover only a portion of the cost — not the whole amount

How the VEU Program Actually Works

The VEU scheme is designed to make energy-saving upgrades more affordable for Victorians. When you replace an old, inefficient system with a high-efficiency alternative, you may be eligible for significant rebates — sometimes saving you hundreds or even thousands.

When you choose Climate Green, we’ll:

  • Recommend the right VEU-approved system for your home

  • Handle the full rebate process on your behalf

  • Ensure a professional, fully compliant installation

  • Provide clear, upfront pricing — no gimmicks, no hidden costs

⚠️ Watch Out for Misleading Offers

Some companies advertise “free air conditioning” to attract attention, but often those deals come with:

  • Hidden fees or extra charges

  • Low-quality, non-compliant units

  • No installation warranty or compliance certificate

  • Installers who aren't properly accredited

These shortcuts can void your eligibility for government rebates, and worse, lead to poor performance or safety issues.
