Electric Ducted Heating
With more Victorian households moving away from gas, electric ducted heating is becoming an increasingly popular option for homeowners who want whole-home comfort, future flexibility and the ability to heat and cool their home using electricity.
Many customers now refer to ducted reverse-cycle refrigerated systems as electric ducted heating or electric ducted heating and cooling. These systems use electricity to provide heating in winter and cooling in summer through a network of ducts and outlets, making them a practical all-year-round solution for Melbourne homes.
At Dual Heating & Air Conditioning, we can supply and install electric ducted heating and cooling systems from leading brands including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Rinnai, Toshiba, York and Panasonic. We can also explain how electric ducted systems compare with traditional gas ducted heating, split systems, multi-head systems and evaporative cooling, so you can choose the right option for your home.
A Whole-Home Electric Heating and Cooling Option
Electric ducted systems are designed to provide comfort across multiple rooms, using discreet ceiling or floor outlets connected to a central indoor unit and outdoor condenser. Depending on the design of your home, the system can be set up to heat and cool the whole house or selected zones.
This makes electric ducted heating suitable for:
New homes and renovations
Homeowners replacing older gas ducted heaters
Households looking to move away from gas
Homes with solar panels or planned solar installation
Families wanting heating and cooling from one system
Customers wanting a ducted alternative to wall-mounted split systems
Because these systems provide both heating and cooling, they can remove the need for separate heating and cooling units in many homes.
Electric Ducted Heating and Solar
Electric ducted heating is often attractive to households with solar panels because the system runs on electricity rather than gas. While the right result depends on your home, system size, usage patterns and solar setup, many customers are now considering electric heating and cooling as part of a broader move towards all-electric homes.
Our team can help you understand whether a ducted reverse-cycle system is suitable for your property and how it compares with other options.
Electric Ducted Heating or Gas Ducted Heating?
Gas ducted heating remains a popular and practical option for many Melbourne households, particularly where an existing gas ducted system is being replaced. Dual Heating & Air Conditioning continues to supply and install quality gas ducted heating systems, including leading brands such as Brivis and Bonaire.
However, for customers who are building, renovating, moving away from gas or looking for a combined heating and cooling system, electric ducted heating may be a better long-term option.
We can talk you through both options and recommend a system based on your home layout, roof space, ductwork, zoning requirements, energy preferences and budget.
