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.
Living in a rental property?
If you’re living in a private rental property, you are eligible to receive a discount on window glazing.
We recommend that landlords and tenants work together when doing any upgrades to a rental property.
To learn more, visit renters, landlords and body corporate.

Find an accredited provider in your area
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 will necessarily be offering window upgrades at present
- accredited providers can choose when and where they undertake upgrades.
