One Ducted System for Heating and Cooling
Electric ducted heating, more accurately a reverse cycle ducted system, heats your home in winter and cools it in summer from the same equipment and the same ductwork. Beyond Heating and Cooling installs new reverse cycle ducted systems across Melbourne’s northern suburbs, sized properly for your home and your budget.
Victoria’s VEU rebate program is making right now one of the best times to replace your gas ducted heating with a modern electric reverse cycle system.
Eligible homeowners can save up to $5,000 for a new heating and cooling system and Beyond Heating & Cooling is VEU approved, so we handle the rebate paperwork for you.
What Electric Ducted Heating Actually Is
A reverse cycle ducted system uses an outdoor unit and an indoor fan coil to move heat, rather than generating it by burning gas. In winter, it draws warmth from the outside air and pushes it through your ducting. In summer, it runs in reverse and cools the same way a split system does, just distributed through the whole house instead of one room.
Because one system does both jobs, you’re not running a separate gas furnace for winter and a separate cooling unit for summer. It’s a single install, a single thermostat or zone controller, and one system to think about rather than two.
The VEU Rebate: What It Actually Covers
The Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program offers a rebate when you remove an existing gas heater and replace it with an eligible electric system, including reverse cycle ducted heating.
It’s a genuine, government backed incentive, and it’s the reason a lot of Melbourne homeowners are moving off gas right now.
The rebate applies specifically to removing an existing gas heating system and swapping it to an eligible electric system, including reverse cycle ducted heating.

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’s Involved in the Switch From Gas to Electric
Switching from gas ducted heating to electric reverse cycle is more straightforward than many homeowners expect. Beyond Heating & Cooling manages the entire process:
- Site assessment:we inspect your home, existing ductwork, and roof space
- System design: we size and configure the system for your specific floor plan
- Removal of your existing gas ducted heating unit
- Replacement of ductwork and grilles (included in VEU rebate pricing
- Installation of the new electric reverse cycle uni
- Outdoor compressor unit installation
- Zoning and smart controller setup
- Full commissioning, system test, and handover walkthrough
- Most installations are completed in a single day. If ductwork requires more extensive work, it may take two days — we confirm the timeframe at the assessment stage.
Running Costs: What Actually Drives Them
The exact cost of running a reverse cycle ducted system depends on your home’s size, insulation, how many zones you’re heating or cooling, and the star rating of the unit you choose. A few things that consistently make the biggest difference:
System Efficiency and Star Rating
Higher star rated systems use inverter technology, which adjusts output to match demand instead of switching fully on and off. That means less energy spent maintaining a set temperature once the room reaches it.
Zoning
A zoned system lets you heat or cool only the rooms in use, rather than conditioning the whole house at once. For most Melbourne homes, this is where the real running cost savings come from.
Insulation and Building Envelope
A well insulated home holds temperature longer, so the system doesn’t have to work as hard to maintain it. This matters more than most homeowners expect when comparing running costs between similar sized systems.
We’ll talk you through expected running costs for your specific home and system size as part of your quote, rather than quoting a generic figure that doesn’t account for your house.
Why Melbourne’s Gas Phaseout Makes Now the Right Time
Victoria is the most gas-dependent state in Australia, and state government policy is actively shifting households away from gas.
Gas heating is not being immediately banned, but the financial incentives to switch are significant right now, and they won’t be available forever. Homeowners who act while the rebate is in place get the best value from the switch.
If your gas system is ageing, underperforming, or has recently failed, this is the moment to make the move rather than spending money on a replacement gas system that locks in gas costs for another 15 to 20 years.
Reverse Cycle Ducted vs Split Systems
A ducted system distributes conditioned air through outlets across the whole home from one central unit, which suits homes wanting whole-house heating and cooling with a cleaner look, no visible indoor units in every room. A split system, or several split systems, might suit a smaller home or a household only wanting to condition one or two rooms.
For most Melbourne homes looking to replace a gas ducted furnace, a reverse cycle ducted system is the natural next step. It keeps the existing whole-house layout while switching the equipment behind it.
