When you notice your air conditioning systems need replacement, the initial installation costs can seem overwhelming for a lot of Australians. Fortunately, there are programs in place that can help you not only save costs on installation, but also on your future energy bills.
Trade in your old cooling and/or heating system for a more energy-efficient system by taking advantage of a local rebate!
This helpful guide will walk you through why it is beneficial to take advantage of an air conditioner rebate from your area. On top of that, we will outline the available rebates across Australia, including Alliance Climate Control’s (ACC) competitive rates.
Read on to get started on your journey to lowering energy costs and accessing more energy-efficient air conditioners.
Generally, air conditioning rebates are provided by your state government. However, you may also access rebates from a trusted HVAC provider. This means that there may be different eligibility criteria for you to meet depending on the rebate supplier.
For the most part, however, the basic eligibility criteria for an air conditioner rebate is as follows:
Some other common criteria that may need to be met for rebate eligibility include:
Most rebates are typically available for air conditioners being used in both residential and commercial settings. Yet, all rebates require a confirmation before application that an accredited provider of HVAC services will handle the installation.
For government rebate applications, this requires an additional step and negotiation with a professional installation service ahead of time. In contrast, directly applying for a rebate from a licensed air conditioning company can help save you time and effort.
When you are already looking to replace your old air conditioner, why not save money at the same time?
Rebates are appealing for many reasons, the most common being that they can help cover upcoming lifestyle and/or utility costs.
In the case of an air conditioning rebate, the costs for installing a replacement unit are subsidised by the government or an air conditioning specialist; it depends on who you apply to for a rebate. These rebate rates can differ depending on your state and/or provider, but will be directly used to cover any costs involved in the delivery, replacement and installation of a new system.
Beyond covering some of the installation costs, an air conditioning rebate for more energy-efficient products can also offer the following benefits:
Overall, bringing in a new air conditioner through a rebate can offer multiple benefits. While the addition of an energy-efficient system can help to lower energy use for the environment, it serves Australians more by lowering their power bills.
Save money in the long term by taking advantage of available air conditioning rebates in your area.

There is more than one rebate option available for NSW locals looking to save money and lower their carbon footprint when it comes to air conditioners:
Rather than a straight-up rebate, the NSW government can offer an upfront discount when you receive a quote for the installation of a new air conditioner. The exact amount for the discounts varies depending on:
Overall, however, you can expect the following range of discounts if you are eligible for this service:
While not directly intended for use by air conditioners, NSW residents can still take advantage of this rebate option for their energy bills.
The Family Energy Rebate helps those with dependent children pay their electricity bills. Retail customers are offered up to $250, while embedded network customers can receive up to $275 each financial year.
Pairing this rebate with the installation of new energy-efficient air conditioners can help you save money on future energy bills.
Any self-funded retiree in NSW can apply for the Senior Energy Rebate for help with their energy bills. Once the application has been confirmed, you can receive $250 per financial year.
Below is a list of the Victorian energy upgrades and rebates offered by the government for residents:

Business owners in Victoria can save anywhere between $500 to $74,000 annually with this program. The exact amount depends on factors like the size of your business and the type of air conditioning systems that are to be installed.
The new system must be chosen from the eligible range of energy-efficient air conditioners.
The program provided by the Victorian government helps homeowners receive rebates or discounts on energy-efficient appliances such as air conditioners. The range of rebates and discounts vary, so be sure to check out which apply to you and your household.
ACT locals are fortunate enough to have multiple air conditioning rebates on offer from their state government:
Any homeowners in the ACT who are experiencing financial hardships can utilise the Access to Electric Program. If you have an existing gas heater or cooling system, it can be upgraded to an electrical appliance with no cost to you.
The program can also cover the costs of ceiling insulation if required for the removal and installation of a heating and cooling system.
This specific program offers incentives to those looking to upgrade their existing ducted gas heating to a reverse-cycle air conditioner. However, you must be using or looking to use ActewAGL utility services to gain access to the Heating and Cooling Upgrade Rebate.
Provided with this program is:
ACT homeowners can get help with the upfront costs of installing energy-efficient products like air conditioners through the Home Energy Support program.
Those who are eligible gain access to up to $5,000 in rebates.
ACT residents living with medical conditions that affect their ability to modulate body temperature may be eligible for the Medical Heating and Cooling Rebate.
Common conditions that may allow you to be eligible for this program include:
There is only one rebate associated with air conditioning services offered by the Tasmanian government:
If a Tasmanian resident who lives with or is living with someone who requires daily heating and cooling for a medical condition, they may be eligible for the Medical Cooling or Heating Concession.
They get a daily concession on electricity bills associated with a heating and cooling system. Currently, the rate is 51.906 cents per day, but you can always check TAS concessions for updates.
If you live in WA, you may be able to gain access to the following rebate:
While it does not cover the costs of installing an air conditioner, the Air Conditioning Rebate does still help WA residents save money on their unit. Namely, by subsidising the cost of using an air conditioner in eligible households located in areas known for high heat discomfort.
The total amount of subsidy will vary depending on where you live, so always check with your air conditioning provider.
Caravan parks are also eligible for this rebate if they are located in a designated high heat area.
While there are plenty of air conditioner rebates on offer across Australia, the government initiatives are not always reliable. With strict eligibility requirements and limited discounts on air conditioning systems, you may not get the system you want in the budget you have.
Directly applying for a rebate with a trusted air conditioning specialist can make applying a hassle-free experience. This is especially true when using Alliance Climate Control’s efficient and location-non-specific rebate services.
Whether you are a homeowner, business owner, or living in rental properties, you can earn substantial savings when replacing your air conditioners with new energy-efficient ones. Not just from the rebate rates, but also from the money saved through lower energy bills:
When combined with the great service, locally trained technicians and efficient installation, it is clear that Alliance Climate Control offer competitive rebate rates.
Ensure your space gets the heating and cooling services it deserves by accessing our rebate offerings and taking your pick from the top systems and brands in air conditioning.
Whether you are a business owner or an Australian household, the way you access an air conditioning rebate is the same. Generally, for a government rebate, it follows this process:
Begin installation: Once all of your paperwork has been processed and your rebate confirmed, you can begin installing your new air conditioner. Ensure that you are partnering with a trusted and experienced air conditioning installer to receive the best service possible.
There may be a time when you have difficulty applying for your air conditioner rebate, especially when undertaking the process yourself. This may be due to accidental mistakes in paperwork or eligibility criteria around particular government rebates.
In the case that your application is turned away or you are having difficulty completing it, it is best to talk to your chosen air conditioning supplier. They will have the experience and expertise to help you through the rebate process.
Additionally, choosing to obtain a rebate provided by said supplier can streamline the application process. With your air conditioning specialist handling the application process themselves, you can focus more on the benefits you will gain from the energy efficiency and climate control capabilities of your new system.
However, if you have not chosen a trustworthy specialist or are having further difficulties with your rebate application, look to contact the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal (IPART). Alternatively, further information around your consumer rights can be found with the Australian Competition & Consumer Commission.

There are a range of factors that can cause your existing air conditioner to require an immediate upgrade, rather than a repair. This includes the length of time you have had the unit, a notable rise in energy bills, and any signs of performance issues or damages.
If you notice your air conditioner is failing in both heating and cooling a space, as well as showing signs of leakage, it is time to order a replacement.
Yes, air conditioner rebates are available to both home and business owners.
So long as the applicant for the rebate owns the building the air conditioner is in, and is named on the energy bills, they are eligible for a rebate.
When an old air conditioning system has been picked up for rebate, it is typically decommissioned for recycling. In Australia, eco-friendly measures are used to ensure that this recycling process is efficient and has a low environmental impact.
Your chosen air conditioning specialist is the team in charge of installing the new unit after your rebate has been approved.
Take the time to find a trusted specialist who will provide you with personalised installation services. With an efficient and experienced team, you can ensure your new air conditioner will provide both heating and cooling benefits for years to come.
