Melbourne’s winter is here — and for homeowners in Airport West and the surrounding northern and western suburbs, that means one thing: making sure your heating system is ready before the cold really bites.
With freezing mornings, chilly evenings, and unpredictable weather, an unreliable ducted heating system or ageing air conditioner can turn your home into an uncomfortable (and expensive) space. That’s why local families and homeowners are turning to ExtrordinAir Heating & Cooling, the trusted Airport West-based HVAC specialists with over 25 years of experience delivering reliable heating and cooling solutions across Melbourne’s inner north and west.
Whether you need a thorough winter service on your existing ducted gas heating, a full upgrade to a high-efficiency reverse-cycle system, or expert advice on Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) rebates, ExtrordinAir provides honest, professional service tailored to your home and budget.
Why Winter Servicing Matters in Melbourne’s North & West Suburbs
Ducted heating systems work hard during Melbourne winters. Over time, dust builds up in ducts and filters, gas valves and thermostats can drift out of calibration, and older units become less efficient — driving up energy bills while risking safety issues like carbon monoxide leaks.
Regular professional servicing delivers clear benefits:
- Safety first — Licensed technicians perform combustion and carbon monoxide testing.
- Better efficiency — Clean filters, balanced airflow, and tuned controls mean your system uses less energy to keep you warm.
- Longer lifespan — Early detection of issues like worn fans, heat exchangers, or pilot lights prevents costly breakdowns.
- Even heating — Proper zoning and duct cleaning ensure every room stays comfortable without hot or cold spots.
For many homes in suburbs like Airport West, Brunswick, Keilor East, Strathmore, Footscray, Northcote, Preston, Pascoe Vale, Glenroy, Fawkner, and Coburg, annual servicing before winter is the smartest way to avoid mid-season emergencies.
Gas Ducted Heating vs Reverse-Cycle Electric Systems: What Homeowners Need to Know
Traditional gas ducted heating has long been popular in Melbourne for fast, whole-home warmth. Modern high-star-rated units from brands like Brivis, Bonaire, and Braemar offer good efficiency and can include zoning so you only heat the rooms you’re using.
However, many homeowners are now choosing to upgrade to reverse-cycle ducted or multi-split systems. These electric systems provide both heating in winter and powerful cooling in summer from one unit. They’re quieter, often more energy-efficient over time, and integrate beautifully with smart controls and zoning.
Key advantages of upgrading to reverse-cycle:
- Year-round comfort (heat + cool)
- Potential for significant VEU rebates (often $1,000–$5,500+ depending on system size and what you’re replacing)
- Lower long-term running costs in many households
- Future-proofing as Victoria moves toward cleaner energy
ExtrordinAir’s team conducts proper site assessments, load calculations, and ductwork evaluations to recommend the right solution — whether that’s maintaining your current gas system, adding cooling, or completing a full gas-to-electric changeover.
