Delivering Ducted Air Conditioning Melbourne

Ducted air conditioning heats and cools the whole home through one system. A central unit feeds ductwork running through the roof, with vents in every room and a thermostat that runs the lot. For homes that want consistent comfort from one set of controls rather than room-by-room units, ducted is still the standard.

There are three main ducted types in Melbourne. Reverse cycle electric is the most common now and the default for new builds. Gas ducted heating remains a strong fit for established gas homes replacing a failed unit. Evaporative cooling suits dry summers and pairs cleanly with gas ducted heating where both are wanted.

Savage Air installs all three. Whichever route fits your home, every install is sized properly, ducted properly, and backed for the life of the workmanship. If you are not sure which ducted type makes sense for your home, we will give you a straight comparison based on the build, the climate of your area, and how you actually live in the house.

Whole-Home Comfort From One System

A ducted system runs from one central unit through ductwork into every room. One thermostat, one set of controls, the whole house at a consistent temperature rather than chasing comfort room by room.

Every install is sized to the home. New builds get fresh ducts designed around the system before the roof goes on. First-time installs in existing homes get ductwork designed around the layout you already live in. Replacements and changeovers sometimes reuse the existing ducts and sometimes need new, and we will be straight with you about which one your home needs rather than putting a new unit on tired ducts.

The right ducted type depends on the home. Reverse cycle electric gives heating and cooling from one install. Gas ducted heating heats fast and suits established gas homes. Evaporative cooling delivers fresh-air cooling at a fraction of the running cost in dry summers. Many Melbourne homes end up with reverse cycle for heating and cooling in one. Some keep gas ducted in winter and add evaporative for summer. We will help you pick the right route, not push you to whichever pays us best.

Picking The Right Ducted System For Your Melbourne Home

Three ducted systems cover most of what we install. Each suits a different home.

Reverse cycle electric ducted is the standard for new builds and the most common choice for replacements. One outdoor unit, one set of ducts, heating in winter and cooling in summer from a single install. Victoria is phasing out gas in new residential construction, which makes electric the default going forward, and the VEU rebate brings the upfront cost down for eligible gas changeovers.

Gas ducted heating still works for plenty of established homes. Existing gas connection, ductwork already in place, heat-up faster than reverse cycle on a cold morning. Where the ductwork is sound, unit-only swaps keep the cost down. New builds cannot install gas, but replacements in existing homes are not going anywhere.

Evaporative cooling suits Melbourne’s dry summers and pairs cleanly with ducted gas heating where both are wanted. Lower running cost than refrigerated cooling, fresh outside air rather than recirculated, and a different feel for households that want windows cracked rather than the house sealed up.

If you are not sure which fits, we will give you a straight comparison based on the home, the climate of your area, and how you actually use heating and cooling.

Who We Work With

Four jobs make up most of what we install:

New home builds and extensions: Working from plans, sized to the home before slabs go down. Reverse cycle is the default given the gas ban.
First-time ducted installs: Homes moving up from split systems, wall heaters, or evaporative-only setups to whole-home ducted comfort.
Like-for-like replacements: Reverse cycle, gas ducted or evaporative system has reached the end of its life and needs swapping out.
System Changes: Gas to electric changeovers (VEU rebate eligible), or adding evaporative alongside existing gas ducted heating.

Whichever path applies, you get the same install standard and the same lifetime workmanship guarantee.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which ducted system suits my Melbourne home best?

It depends on what you already have, what your home is set up for, and how you use heating and cooling. New builds default to reverse cycle electric because Victoria is phasing out gas in new residential construction, with the ban expanding to all new builds from January 2027. Established gas homes replacing a failed heater often stay on gas ducted, especially where the ductwork is sound. Homes wanting fresh-air cooling at a lower running cost across dry summers suit evaporative, sometimes paired with existing gas ducted heating. We install all three and will give you a straight comparison based on your home rather than pushing whichever pays us best.

Can I keep my existing ductwork or do I need to replace it?

It depends on the condition and the system. Like-for-like reverse cycle and gas ducted replacements often reuse existing ducts if they are sound and correctly sized. Gas to electric changeovers sometimes need new ductwork because reverse cycle systems often need higher airflow and larger duct runs. Evaporative usually keeps its own ductwork because the system is designed around it from the start. We check the ductwork during the quote rather than waiting until install day, and we will tell you straight when ducts need work versus when they can stay.

Ready For A Straight Answer On What It Costs?

Tell us what you are working with and we will price it honestly. Most quotes start from a floor plan over the phone or by email, with on-site confirmation before we book the install. If you are weighing reverse cycle against gas or evaporative we will give you all the numbers, not push you toward one. Quotes returned promptly. Finance available on approved applications.
