Your old gas ducted heater is costing you more than you think

If your home still runs on ageing gas ducted heating, you already know the drill. It roars away, drinks gas, and still leaves you reaching for a jumper — while doing absolutely nothing for you in summer.

Gas bills that creep up every single year — and gas isn't getting cheaper.
That one back room that never warms up, no matter how long it runs.
It only heats — so come January you're sweating with zero cooling.
Ageing units can crack and leak carbon monoxide — which is exactly why Victoria says to get them checked.
You're paying to heat the whole house even when you're only in one room.

Here's the good news: there's a better system — and right now the government will chip in to help you switch.

A Geelong home that could be upgraded from old gas ducted heating to reverse-cycle

The smarter fix

Ducted reverse-cycle vs old gas ducted

Same ducts. Same vents. Completely different result — and one runs at a fraction of the cost.

The old way Gas ducted heating

Heats only — useless in summer
Burns gas at ever-rising prices
All-or-nothing — no room-by-room control
Carbon monoxide risk as it ages
Ongoing gas supply charges

The smart way Ducted reverse-cycle

Heats in winter and cools all summer
Up to 3–5× more efficient than the power it draws
Smart zoning — only condition the rooms you use
No gas, no CO risk, no gas supply charge
Quiet, app-controlled, rebate-eligible

3–5×

That's the efficiency edge. For every $1 of electricity a modern reverse-cycle system uses, it can deliver roughly $3–$5 worth of heat back into your home. Gas simply can't touch that — which is a big reason the government is paying people to make the switch.

Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU)

Let the government help foot the bill

Through the Victorian Energy Upgrades program, eligible homeowners can get a government rebate for replacing old gas ducted heating with an efficient reverse-cycle system. Depending on your home and existing setup, that can take a serious chunk off the price. We check your eligibility for free and handle the paperwork end-to-end.

Straight answers

The questions everyone asks

How much does ducted reverse-cycle actually cost?

It depends on your home — the number of rooms, how many zones you want, and your existing ductwork. That's exactly why we come out and give you a fixed written quote after a free in-home assessment, instead of a vague number over the phone. And where you're eligible for the VEU rebate, that comes straight off the price.

Am I eligible for a government rebate?

Many Victorian homeowners replacing old gas or inefficient heating with reverse-cycle qualify under the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program. Eligibility comes down to your home and current system — we check it for you, for free, and confirm what you qualify for in writing.

Do I have to get rid of my gas heater?

For a rebate-backed reverse-cycle upgrade, the old gas ducted system is typically decommissioned and replaced — which also removes the carbon-monoxide risk and the ongoing gas supply charge. We'll walk you through exactly what applies to your home before anything happens.

How long does the install take?

Most homes are done in about 1–2 days depending on size and zoning. We'll give you a firm timeframe at your assessment — and we turn up when we say we will.

Do you service my area?

We're Geelong-based and cover Geelong, the Bellarine Peninsula, the Surf Coast and right through to Apollo Bay. Staying local means a prompt installer who actually knows the homes around here.

Is it going to be a mess?

No. We protect your floors, work clean, and tidy up properly before we leave. You get a comfortable home — not a renovation site.
