RCAC rebates for Mornington Peninsula Households & Businesses
Over the years, appliances powered by gas and electricity generated by coal power plants have served residents of Mornington Peninsula well.
However, with rising gas and electricity prices, rooftop solar power generation and climate change commitments of the state of Victoria, the people of the Peninula are transitioning towards clean energy and energy efficient appliances, such as reverse cycle air conditioners (RCACs).
Under the Victorian Energy Upgrades Program of the state government of Victoria, businesses and households of Mornington Peninsula can apply for upfront discounts offered by accredited businesses – named as Accredited Persons by Essential Services Commissions, the regulator of VEU program – for replacement of an old space heating and cooling appliance with an energy efficient split of multi-split RCAC.
Rebates are also offered on a new installation (no replacement/decommissioning of old air conditioning unit involved) of a split system RCAC.
