Is there an electric replacement
for gas ducted heating?
Yes. A ducted reverse cycle system reuses the roof space and, where they are sound, the outlets of your old gas heater, and adds whole-home cooling.
Where there is no roof space or the house is double storey, a multi-head split does the same job room by room.
Because the heater being removed is what makes your home eligible, replacing gas ducted heating is the upgrade that attracts the largest Victorian Energy Upgrades discount. We apply it on your quote.
Most replacements fall within the ducted price range, less any discount you are eligible for.

- Existing ducts are inspected, kept where sound and replaced where they fail

- The new indoor unit goes in the roof space and the outdoor unit in a position agreed with you
- Gas meter abolishment, if you are leaving gas entirely, is arranged with your retailer
What we check at your home
Running costs
and how to lower them
A correctly sized inverter system adjusts its speed instead of switching on and off, which keeps running costs down. The rest comes down to how it is used.
At the assessment we estimate running costs for your home so you can compare options properly.
How we work
Frequently asked questions
about gas ducted heating replacement
Yes. Ducted reverse cycle or a multi-head split replaces a gas ducted heater and adds cooling. Which suits your home depends on roof space, ductwork, the rooms you use and your switchboard.
Yes, and more evenly, because zones can be balanced room by room. Modern systems are rated for Melbourne winters and keep heating efficiently on frosty mornings.
Replacing a ducted gas heater with an efficient reverse cycle system can attract up to $9,000 off under the Victorian Energy Upgrades program.
The amount depends on your existing system, the new system and current certificate prices, and not every home is eligible.
No. You can keep gas for cooking or hot water. If you want to leave gas entirely, we explain what to expect with your retailer.
