A More Comfortable Home, Made Simple.
From quiet bedrooms to open-plan family living, we help you find the right heating and cooling setup for your space and your budget.
Is your home struggling to keep up with the Melbourne weather?
Most homes in our region face a common challenge: systems that are expensive to run, noisy, or simply can’t keep the living room warm in July and the bedrooms cool in January. It’s a frustrating cycle of adjusting the thermostat and dreading the next energy bill.
It’s not just about the temperature; it’s about the impact on your lifestyle and your wallet.
A straightforward approach to year-round comfort.
At Essential Solar, we provide reliable Reverse Cycle Air Conditioning solutions that work as hard as you do.

The Names We Trust to Keep You Comfortable
We’ve selected three industry-leading brands that excel in performance, longevity, and efficiency. While we install all three across our system types, each offers unique benefits for your home.
Helping You Access Victorian Energy Savings
We believe that staying comfortable shouldn't break the bank. Because we only install high-quality, approved products, our customers can often access significant incentives through the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program.
These rebates are designed to help you move away from expensive gas heating and onto more efficient, solar-ready electric systems
The VEU Rebate: Up to $5,000 in rebates available*
- Not Means Tested: This program is open to all Victorian homeowners regardless of income.
- Rental Properties Eligible: Both owner-occupiers and landlords can apply for these upgrades.
- Standard Eligibility: If you are replacing an existing system, your property must be at least two years old.
Pairing with Solar for Maximum Impact
- Income Threshold: Households with a combined taxable income of less than $210,000 per year may qualify.
- Property Value: Available for homes valued under $3 million.
- New Solar Users: Eligible if the property hasn't previously received a solar or battery rebate and hasn't had solar installed in the last 10 years.

FAQs
We’ve answered some of the most common questions below to help you understand how selecting the right system size can maximise your home’s comfort and how the various Victorian rebate programs can support you in upgrading to a more efficient, solar-ready future.
Book Your Free ConsultationMost residential properties in Victoria are eligible, provided the property is more than two years old and you are replacing an existing heating or cooling system. The program is not means-tested, and rental properties are also eligible for these upgrades. To qualify, you simply need to install a VEU-approved product, such as the select models we carry from Daikin, Mitsubishi, and Rinnai.
Yes. In fact, pairing air conditioning with solar is one of the best ways to maximise your long-term savings. While the VEU program covers the air conditioning side, the SolarVIC rebate has its own criteria, such as a combined household income of less than $210,000 and a property value under $3 million. We can guide you through both applications to ensure you receive every incentive available to you.
A single-split system consists of one indoor unit connected to one outdoor unit, making it a simple and cost-effective choice for a single room. A multi-split system allows you to connect multiple indoor units to just one outdoor unit. This is ideal for families who want independent temperature control in different rooms without cluttering their exterior walls with multiple outdoor motors.
Reverse cycle systems are incredibly energy-efficient because they use smart technology to transfer heat rather than creating it from scratch. This allows you to stay comfortable year-round with a single system that handles both heating and cooling. By moving away from gas and choosing a solar-ready electric system, you can significantly lower your monthly utility bills.
