Clothes dryer discounts

Clothes dryers use a lot of energy. To cut costs, it’s best to use a clothesline or drying rack.

However, in winter, using a clothes dryer is sometimes necessary.

Choosing an energy-efficient electric dryer is a smart way to lower your energy use.

Eligibility

To be eligible to upgrade your clothes dryer and get a discount, you must:

• be a Victorian household or business
• install a product with a star rating of 7 stars and is listed on the Greenhouse and Energy Minimum Standards register.

How much discount you can expect

Incentives of up to the following amounts are available for the average household:

The final installed price of the appliance, which includes the discount, is up to the accredited provider and will depend on several factors, including:

• certificate price (which fluctuates)
• location
• installation costs
• the accredited provider’s administrative costs.

For more information on certificate prices under the VEU program, please visit Victorian Energy Efficiency Certificates (VEECs).

If you would like to organise a retrospective rebate, please follow the instructions at the ‘How the VEU program works’ webpage.

Accredited providers often work with installers who are not listed on the registry.

Please note that as VEU is a market-based program:

• not all accredited providers listed above may currently offer pool pumps
• accredited providers can choose when and where they undertake upgrades.
