Delivering Electric Ducted Heating Installation Melbourne

Electric ducted heating runs on a reverse cycle system, which means one set of ducts and one outdoor unit handle both heating in winter and cooling in summer. It is the standard for new homes, the natural upgrade for anyone adding ducted to a split-system or wall-heater home, and the replacement path for older reverse cycle systems that have reached the end of their life.

For homeowners on gas ducted, it is also the system most people switch to. Victoria’s ban on gas in new residential construction means electric is the default going forward, and the VEU rebate makes the changeover meaningfully cheaper for homes that qualify.

Savage Air installs reverse cycle electric ducted across Melbourne’s south east, sized to the home, with the rebate paperwork handled by our office from the recycling certificate to the customer acceptance link. Backed for the life of the workmanship.

Heating And Cooling Your Home

A reverse cycle ducted unit heats your home in winter and cools it in summer from a single system. One outdoor unit, one set of ducts, one set of zone controls.

Every install is sized to the home so the rooms you actually use stay comfortable. We do not match a quote to whatever the old system was rated at if the home has changed since, and on new builds we work from the plans rather than guessing.

Ductwork is part of the install, not an afterthought. New builds and first-time installs get fresh ducts designed for the system. Replacements and gas to electric jobs sometimes reuse existing ductwork and sometimes need new, and we will be upfront about which one your home needs.

Heating and cooling your home when it matters most.

Why Reverse Cycle Ducted Is The Melbourne Standard

Reverse cycle electric ducted is the system most Melbourne homes end up with, and the reasons are the same whether you are starting from scratch or replacing something.

Victoria’s gas ban on new residential construction means electric is the default for new builds. For first-time ducted buyers coming from split systems or wall heaters, reverse cycle ducted gives you whole-home comfort from one set of controls instead of room-by-room units. For homeowners replacing an existing reverse cycle ducted system, like-for-like is the simplest path and the unit you are replacing has likely improved on efficiency and quiet operation since it was first installed.

For households still on gas ducted heating, the maths has shifted. Connection fees, usage charges, and supply costs have all gone up, and most homes with gas ducted also run a separate cooling system that reverse cycle replaces in the same install. Eligible jobs qualify for the VEU rebate, which brings the upfront cost down before you pay rather than after. Savage Air handles the full rebate process: recycling certificate for the old unit, certificate uploads to the rebate portal, acceptance link, all of it.

Who We Work With

Four jobs make up most of what we install:

New home builds and extensions: Working from plans, with or through your builder, sized to the home before slabs go down.
First-time ducted installs: Homes that have run on split systems, wall heaters or column heaters and are ready for whole-home comfort from one system.
Reverse cycle ducted replacements: Like-for-like swaps where an existing electric ducted system has reached the end of its life.
Gas to electric changeovers: VEU rebate eligible upgrades for homes ready to retire the gas heater.

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

Frequently Asked Questions

Will reverse cycle ducted heat as well as gas on a cold Melbourne morning?

Yes. Modern reverse cycle systems are designed to heat effectively in cold conditions. On the coldest mornings the outdoor unit may run a short defrost cycle, which is normal and does not stop the system from heating the home. Compared to gas, the air at the vent comes through at a slightly lower temperature but runs for longer, keeping the house at a consistent warmth rather than blasting hot air in short bursts. Most homeowners who switch say the house feels more evenly heated overall.

Do I need new ductwork or can the existing ducts be reused?

It depends on the job. New builds and first-time installs always get fresh ductwork designed for the system. Replacements of an existing reverse cycle system often reuse what is there if it is in good condition and correctly sized. Gas to electric changeovers vary, because reverse cycle systems need higher airflow and often larger ducts than gas systems, so in many cases new ductwork delivers a better long-term result. We will be clear about what your home needs rather than cutting corners to save on the quote.
