Electric Ducted Heating Installation in Melbourne
Electric ducted heating warms every room in your home from one central system, and the same system cools the house in summer. Beyond Heating and Cooling supplies and installs electric reverse cycle ducted heating in homes across Melbourne, using our own in-house installers. We measure your home, size the system to suit it, fit the ductwork and outlets, and show you how to use the controls before we leave.
The package prices below cover supply and installation of a new electric ducted system from Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric or Midea. We confirm the final price after a free assessment at your home, because the size of the house, the roof space and the condition of the existing ducts all affect what the installation needs.
What Electric Ducted Heating Is and How It Heats Your Home
Electric ducted heating is more accurately called a reverse cycle ducted system. It does not burn gas and it does not heat with an electric element. It uses heat pump technology to draw warmth from the outside air and moves that warmth into your home.
A reverse cycle ducted system has two main parts. The outdoor unit holds the compressor and sits outside the house. The indoor unit, which houses the fan and heat exchanger, usually sits in the roof space. Refrigerant piping carries the heat between the two units. The indoor unit blows the warm air through insulated ducts to outlets in the ceiling or, in some homes, the floor. The air then returns to the indoor unit through a return air grille to be heated again, and a thermostat or wall controller keeps the temperature where you set it.
Electric Ducted Heating and Cooling From One System
In summer the same system runs in reverse. It takes heat out of the air inside your home and releases it outside, then sends cooled air through the same ducts and outlets. That is why electric ducted heating is also called electric ducted heating and cooling.
For many households this means you no longer need a gas heater for winter and a separate cooling system for summer. You have one system, one controller and one set of outlets across the house.
Features of electric ducted heating include:

Why Switch From Gas to Electric Ducted Heating?
Gas prices in Victoria have risen significantly over recent years, and the conventional gas reserves that once made Victoria’s gas supply cheap are rapidly declining. The long-term trajectory for gas costs is upward. Electric reverse cycle systems are also simply more efficient than gas. A modern reverse cycle unit produces around three kilowatts of heating output for every one kilowatt of electricity it consumes — an efficiency ratio gas heating cannot match.
Then there’s the practical advantage: an electric reverse cycle system heats and cools. Your existing gas system only heats. Replacing it with electric means one system handles both seasons, removing the need for a separate cooling solution
- No more gas bills — run entirely on electricity
- More energy efficient than gas — lower running costs
- Heating and cooling from one system
- Eligible for up to $5,000 VEU government rebate
- Cleaner — no gas combustion, no indoor air pollutants
- Compatible with solar — run your system on your own power
What Our Electric Ducted Heating Installation Involves
Our installers handle the whole installation, from measuring the home to testing the finished system. Here is what the installation usually includes:
- A site assessment, where we inspect your home, the existing ductwork and the roof space
- A system design that sizes and configures the new system for your floor plan
- Removal of the old heating unit if you are replacing one
- New ductwork and outlet grilles where the home needs them
- Installation of the indoor unit, usually in the roof space
- Installation of the outdoor compressor unit
- Zoning and smart controller setup
- Full commissioning, a system test and a walkthrough of the controls
Most installations are finished in a single day. If the ductwork needs more extensive replacement, the installation can take two days, and we confirm the timeframe when we give you the quote.
There are a few things we check during the assessment, because they change what the installation needs:
Choosing the Right Size Electric Ducted Heating System for Your Home
Sustainability Victoria notes that an incorrectly sized system won’t heat your home efficiently and could cost you more money to run, and it recommends having a supplier visit your home to assess your heating needs before giving a quote.
That is why we visit your home before we confirm a price. During the assessment we look at your floor plan, the rooms you want to heat and cool, the existing ductwork and the roof space, and we size and configure the system to suit your home.
Our package prices are set out by system size. The smaller packages are a 12.5 kW system with 6 outlets, and the larger packages run a 16 kW or 17 kW system to 10 outlets, depending on the brand. After the assessment we tell you which size suits your home and why.
Zoning and Controls for Electric Ducted Heating
Zoning lets you heat or cool only the rooms you are using. Sustainability Victoria notes that most ducted reverse cycle systems allow the home to be split into several zones, which reduces the area being heated or cooled at any one time. In most Melbourne homes, zoning is where the biggest running cost savings come from, because you are not heating bedrooms during the day or living areas overnight.
We set up the zones and the smart controller during the installation, and we show you how to use the timer settings before we leave. You can set the system to warm the house before you get up or before you get home.
Electric Ducted Heating Running Costs in Melbourne Homes
Many of the electric ducted heating systems we install in Melbourne replace an older gas ducted heater. The Victorian Energy Upgrades program, which the Essential Services Commission regulates, gives households access to discounted energy efficient products and services, and space heating and cooling upgrades are among the activities that accredited persons can carry out under the program.
The package prices on this page are our prices for homes that are replacing a gas ducted heater. If your home is already all-electric and you are replacing an older electric system, the price will be different, and we will explain it in your quote. We confirm which situation applies to your home during the site assessment.
If you are still deciding whether to move from gas to electric, our guide to replacing gas ducted heating with electric heating covers the questions homeowners ask before they make the change. This page is about the installation itself: the systems we install, what the installation involves and how to book a quote.the natural next step.

Electric Ducted Heating Compared With Split Systems
A ducted system sends heated or cooled air to outlets across the whole home from one central unit. It suits households who want whole-house heating and cooling with a cleaner look and no indoor unit on the wall of every room. A split system, or several split systems, may suit a smaller home or a household that only wants to heat and cool one or two rooms.
Sustainability Victoria points out that ducted systems lose some energy through the ductwork, so they are less efficient overall than split systems. We explain this during the assessment so you can compare the two properly. For most Melbourne homes replacing a gas ducted heater, a reverse cycle ducted system is the natural next step, because it keeps the whole-house layout of outlets while changing the equipment behind it. If split systems suit your home better, we install those as well; see our split system heating and cooling page.
