  • AEU manages the sale of your VEECs, applying the value directly to reduce your system cost.

Benefits:

  • Significant upfront discounts.

Melissa Branagh

Fantastic service from 1st phone call to installation. Great unit (I upgraded to larger model) & fairly quiet. Have not run out of hot water since installed … best decision made!

Heleana Harvey

Communication was clear and believable . Work carried out by tradies was quick and efficient and they turned up when they said they would. Finished job looks good and works well. Definitely a winner.

Peter Nunn

Customer Service was professional and thorough. As someone who isn’t all that familiar with solar systems and the process involved, no question was too difficult to answer which gave me comfort and confidence. The tradespeople kept their promise, arriving on time and delivering the desired outcomes.
