Air conditioning quotes in Melbourne
Melbourne is the one city where the government will actually help you dump the gas heater. If you still have ducted gas, do the rebate check before you talk to anyone. The discount is applied on the quote. There is no form you post to Canberra.
Splits are still the common job. A lounge unit is usually $1,900 to $4,400. People in Brunswick weatherboards often do multi-head because the roof is a spider web of old timber. People in new estates out west often jump straight to ducted.
We match you with one ARCtick installer who works your suburb. Not five. Melbourne has enough people ringing the doorbell already.
Typical split
$1,900 to $4,400 installed
Typical ducted
$10,000 to $17,500 before VEU, often a lot less after if you are ripping out gas ducted

Common questions
How much is the Victorian air con rebate?
It depends what you are replacing. Gas ducted to reverse cycle is the big one, often $2,500 to $5,530. A single split upgrade is smaller, commonly $400 to $1,610. The installer applies it. You do not lodge a claim.
Does VEU work if I rent?
Often yes if the owner agrees. The discount sits on the equipment, not on your tax file. Get the owner on the email before anyone drills a hole.
