Gas or Electric Ducted Heating? Choosing Before You Install
Gas ducted heating burns gas in a gas heater unit, where the burner assembly heats a heat exchanger and a blower fan pushes warm air through the ductwork to a duct register or vent in each room; it works in both residential and commercial properties. Electric ducted heating uses a heat pump ducted unit instead: an outdoor condenser and compressor move heat from the outside air to an indoor unit, which is why it is also called ducted reverse cycle heating and can cool the house in summer.
The house matters too: new housing estates in Melbourne’s growth corridors often get electric ducted heating during the build, established suburbs of weatherboard and brick veneer houses have plenty of homes with existing gas ducted heating considering electric conversion, period homes in the inner and middle suburbs need ducts routed with care, and homes on colder, elevated outer-suburban blocks need extra heating capacity.

Ducted Gas Heating Installation in Melbourne, Sized and Signed Off
Ducted gas heating installation in Melbourne starts with sizing the heater to the home’s heat load, including north-facing room heat gain, then drawing up a ducting layout that reaches every room. Our gas fitters are Type A licensed and Celik Group Air Conditioning is VBA registered, so the gas supply line, gas isolation valve, gas connection point and flue installation are completed to Energy Safe Victoria requirements and the manufacturer’s installation guidelines.
New residential builds in Victoria requiring a planning permit can’t take new gas connections from 1 January 2024, so ducted heating installation in Melbourne’s new estates is moving to electric systems, and Victoria’s Gas Substitution Roadmap and energy upgrade programs supporting electrification have encouraged established homes to follow. Beyond ducted heating, our installers handle other heating options and the rest of our air conditioning line-up in Melbourne, including reverse cycle air conditioning, ducted systems, bulkhead air conditioning, evaporative cooling, split systems and VRV systems, with zone control from AirTouch 5 or other zone management systems. If anything stops working later, our repair service covers split systems, ducted heating, evaporative cooling, reverse cycle air conditioning, Mitsubishi air conditioning as well as Daikin air conditioning.


Ducted Heating Service in Melbourne Before the Cold Sets In
A ducted heating service in Melbourne works best when booked in autumn, before the first cold snap, so the system is inspected and ready for the season instead of being tested for the first time on a freezing night, especially if it has never been serviced. Gas ducted heating service in Melbourne has to be carried out by a licensed gas fitter, because the visit involves the gas-fired parts of the heater.
Electric ducted heating service in Melbourne is a refrigerant and electrical visit instead. An ARCtick licensed technician checks the outdoor condenser, compressor and refrigerant pressure, cleans the indoor unit’s filters and coil, tests the dedicated circuit, and runs the system in heating mode to confirm output before winter. Because an electric ducted system also cools, the same electric ducted heating service in Melbourne prepares it for summer as well.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some questions we are always asked. If you have a specific question, don’t be afraid to reach out to our team. We are here to help.
How much does electric ducted heating cost to install in Melbourne?
Electric ducted heating under the VEU program begins at $9,750 when the system is 13.0kW to 18kW, while Daikin or Mitsubishi Electric units between 12.5kW and 20kW begin at $10,250. Those figures already take off the VEU rebate, include GST and allow for fresh ducts and grilles if the old gas heater comes out, and each price is locked in after a site visit. A new gas ducted system is quoted separately after the heat load calculation.
Should I choose gas or electric ducted heating?
Gas ducted heating warms the house quickly and suits homes that already have a gas connection. Electric ducted heating avoids gas altogether, adds cooling for summer and is the practical choice for new builds that can’t connect to gas. Each ducted heating installation in Melbourne we quote begins with a technology comparison, so you can weigh installation cost against running cost before you commit.
How long does gas ducted heating installation take?
The time a gas ducted heating installation Melbourne homeowners book will take depends on roof cavity access, the number of rooms and whether new ducting is needed. A heater unit swap that keeps sound existing ductwork is much quicker than a new build with no ducting at all, and two-storey homes take longer again. Your quote sets out the installation date and timing after the site assessment.
Can I keep my existing ducts when replacing a gas ducted heater?
Often, yes. If the existing ductwork is sealed, properly insulated and sized for the new heater, a ducted gas heating installation in Melbourne can reuse it and replace only the heater unit, which is cheaper than replacing the whole system. Ducts that are crushed, poorly insulated or undersized for the new capacity are replaced during the installation.
How often should gas ducted heating be serviced?
Every two years is the minimum for a gas heater, and a yearly visit before winter is better if the heater runs heavily. An annual gas ducted heating service in Melbourne covers the burner, heat exchanger, flue and gas pressure, so the heater starts reliably when the weather turns cold. Rental properties should be serviced before each new tenancy.
What does an electric ducted heating service include?
An electric ducted heating service in Melbourne covers the outdoor unit, compressor and refrigerant pressure, cleans the filters and indoor coil, tests the controller, zones and dampers, and runs the system in heating and cooling mode. It is carried out by an ARCtick licensed technician, and a yearly visit keeps the system efficient for both seasons.
Can I convert gas ducted heating to electric ducted?
Yes. Converting means decommissioning the gas heater unit, capping the gas supply to the heater and installing an electric ducted heat pump system with an outdoor unit, and it is a common choice once an old system is near the end of life. The existing ductwork can often be reused if it is in good condition, and a Victorian Energy Upgrades rebate may reduce the cost. It costs more upfront than a like-for-like gas replacement but removes future gas connection uncertainty.
Can zoning be added during a ducted heating installation?
Yes, and installation is the easiest time to do it. A ducted zone controller panel and motorised or manual zone dampers give zoned control across every room, so the living zone and the bedroom zone run independently and unused rooms aren’t heated at all. Those zoned heating savings add up over a Melbourne winter; two-storey homes benefit most because each floor can have its own zone, and a renovation is another good time to add zones.
What thermostat options come with a new ducted heating system?
Most new systems come with a wall thermostat or a programmable thermostat, and many can take a Wi-Fi thermostat module for app control and scheduling from your phone. The controller is set up and explained at handover, and it can be upgraded later during a service if you want remote control.
