Double-glazed windows retain up to 30% more heat and conditioned air than single-glazed windows.

By upgrading your windows, you can reduce your electric bills and save energy.

Eligibility

Victorian households and most businesses with single-glazed windows can receive discounts for window upgrades.

  • You must install an approved product to be eligible for incentives. To find an approved product, visit: VEU register of approved products
  • select the following from the drop down menu:
    • For double glazing – ‘13(18) - Double glazed window’.
    • For secondary glazing creating an air gap – ‘14(18) - Thermally efficient window product’.
  • click search.

If you have installed an eligible product and would like to organise a retrospective rebate, an accredited provider may be able to guide you through the process.

Information on eligibility for retrospective rebates can be found on the following webpage: About Victorian Energy Upgrades

Living in a rental property?

If you’re living in a private rental property, you are eligible to receive a discount on window glazing.
