As Melbourne’s late winter chill continues, professional ducted heating installation is the smartest way for homeowners in Airport West and the surrounding northern and western suburbs to enjoy reliable whole-home warmth for the rest of the season and beyond.
Cold mornings, chilly evenings and unpredictable weather can make an ageing or inefficient heating system a real problem. That’s why local families are turning to ExtrordinAir Heating & Cooling, the trusted Airport West-based HVAC specialists with over 25 years of experience delivering comfortable, energy-efficient heating solutions across Melbourne’s inner north and west.
Whether you need a brand-new gas ducted system, a full upgrade to a high-efficiency reverse-cycle electric unit, or expert advice on Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) rebates, ExtrordinAir provides honest guidance and professional installation tailored to your home and budget.
Why Professional Ducted Heating Installation Matters This Winter
Ducted heating systems work hard through Melbourne winters. Over time, older units lose efficiency, ducts can develop leaks, and controls become less accurate — driving up energy bills while risking uneven heating or safety issues such as carbon monoxide concerns in gas systems.
A quality new installation delivers clear benefits:
-
Even, whole-home warmth — Proper zoning and correctly sized ducts ensure every room stays comfortable without hot or cold spots.
-
Better energy efficiency — Modern 6-star gas units or high-efficiency reverse-cycle systems use far less energy than older heaters.
-
Quieter operation — Newer motors and well-designed ductwork significantly reduce noise.
-
Improved safety — Licensed technicians perform full safety checks, including carbon monoxide testing on gas systems.
-
Future-ready comfort — Electric reverse-cycle options provide both heating in winter and cooling in summer from one system.
For many homes in suburbs such as Airport West, Keilor East, Strathmore, Essendon, Footscray, Brunswick, Coburg, Glenroy, Fawkner, Northcote, Preston, Pascoe Vale and surrounding areas, arranging ducted heating installation now means you can still benefit from the remaining cold weeks and be fully prepared for next winter.
Gas vs Electric: Choosing the Right Ducted Heating Installation
Traditional gas ducted heating has long been popular in Melbourne for fast, whole-house warmth. Modern high-star-rated units from brands such as Braemar, Brivis and Bonaire remain an excellent choice for many homes.
However, a growing number of homeowners are now choosing reverse-cycle electric ducted systems. These units provide both powerful heating in winter and efficient refrigerated cooling in summer from a single system. They are quieter, often more energy-efficient over time, and align with Victoria’s move toward cleaner energy.
Key advantages of upgrading to a reverse-cycle system include:
-
Year-round comfort (heat + cool) from one unit
-
Potential for significant VEU rebates (often $1,000–$5,500+ depending on system size and what you are replacing)
-
Lower long-term running costs in many households
-
Future-proofing as Victoria continues to move toward cleaner energy
ExtrordinAir’s team conducts proper site assessments, heat-load calculations and ductwork evaluations to recommend the right solution — whether that means maintaining your current gas system, adding cooling, or completing a full gas-to-electric changeover.
