Ducted systems on new R1.5 insulated ducts, multi-head and split systems with corrosion-protected outdoor units, installed by ARC-licensed technicians from Somerville, 17 minutes away. VEU discount applied on the quote.
Heating in Mornington is less uniform than in the suburbs closer to town. Mains gas is reticulated through parts of the suburb and not others. The brick homes in the estates off Mornington-Tyabb Road and Bungower Road mostly have ducted gas. Older beach houses and weatherboards nearer Main Street often heat with a wood fire, a gas log fire or a couple of ageing splits, and some properties on the edges run LPG bottles.
So the first thing we do is find out what you have and what it costs you. A ducted gas home is a direct swap to ducted reverse cycle on new R1.5 insulated ducts. An LPG or wood-heated home usually has no ducts at all, and a multi-head or split systems are the efficient answer. In both cases the house also gets cooling, which a sea breeze no longer covers on a 38 degree day.
Mornington adds two conditions of its own. Salt air shortens the life of an unprotected outdoor coil, so we specify units with corrosion protection and place them out of the prevailing wind. And many homes here are empty midweek or for part of the year, where phone control and a setback temperature make a real difference. See also everything we do in Mornington.
Braemar, Mitsubishi Electric and Hisense, with AirTouch control. Refrigeration, ducts and electrical by our own crew.
For Mornington homes with a ducted gas heater in the roof. The heater and old ducts are removed, and a reverse cycle unit goes in on new R1.5 insulated ducts sized for cooling as well as heating.
For beach houses, weatherboards and homes with no roof space or no existing ducts. One outdoor unit can run several indoor heads, which keeps the outside of the house tidy and limits what is exposed to salt.
Outdoor coils with anti-corrosive coating, such as the Golden Fin on Hisense ducted units, and the outdoor unit placed out of the prevailing wind wherever the site allows.
AirTouch 5 zoning on ducted systems and Wi-Fi control on splits. Warm the house from the freeway on a Friday night, or hold it at a low setback while it is empty so it never gets damp.
The full range is on our products page.
Ducted reverse cycle, including the Dominator for homes where the existing ducts have to stay.
Ducted units for tight roof spaces, plus split and multi-head systems.
Ducted and split systems, with anti-corrosive Golden Fin coils on the ducted range.
Zoning control for ducted systems, with a sensor in each zone and control from your phone.
One from the Peninsula and two ducted swaps that show both ways of handling the ducts.
A whole home taken off gas next door in Mount Martha, with solar and a 24.18kWh battery carrying the new electric load. The monthly bill went from $302 to $148.
The gas ducted system was decommissioned and an 18kW Mitsubishi Electric reverse cycle unit installed, split into seven AirTouch 5 zones through ten vents. The job carried a $6,300 rebate.
Where the ducts could not be replaced, a 16kW Braemar Dominator took the gas heater's place and kept the existing ducts and vents, with AirTouch 5 zones and sensors.
Ducted on new ducts is typically one to two days. Split systems are a few hours each.
Mains gas, LPG, wood or electric, the state of any ducts, the roof space and the switchboard.
Based on the house, not on what we would rather sell. Sized room by room.
Brand, capacity, zoning, outdoor unit position and the after-discount price in writing.
Old heater and ducts taken away where there are any. New unit, ducts or heads, and a dedicated circuit from the switchboard.
Heating and cooling both tested, zones balanced, and the controller set up on your phone before we leave.
The saving depends on what you heat with now. LPG and old ducted gas are the two most expensive.
Mornington is inside the VEU area. Efficient reverse cycle systems attract a discount, with the largest when gas heating is being replaced. We apply it on the quote.
Homes on LPG stop buying bottles. Homes on mains gas move one step closer to closing the gas account and losing the daily supply charge.
Solar uptake in Mornington is among the highest in Victoria. Reverse cycle on a winter afternoon uses power you are otherwise exporting for a few cents. See solar and battery in Mornington.
We are in Somerville, 12 km away, and the Peninsula is where most of the team lives and works.
Mains gas, LPG and wood each lead to a different design. You get the one that suits your house.
Corrosion-protected coils and sheltered placement are how we quote every Mornington job.

When we replace ducted gas we replace the ducts with R1.5 insulated ducts, so the system cools as well as it heats.

Reverse cycle. If the house has no ducts, a multi-head or split systems are the efficient choice and cost far less to run than LPG heating. If it has ducts from an LPG ducted heater, we can replace the heater with ducted reverse cycle.
Yes. We remove the gas heater and old ducts and fit a ducted reverse cycle unit on new R1.5 insulated ducts. Where ducts cannot be replaced, usually in double-storey homes, a Braemar Dominator keeps the existing ducts and controls the airflow.
It will shorten the life of an unprotected one. We fit units with anti-corrosive coil coatings and place the unit away from the prevailing wind where we can.
Yes. AirTouch 5 on ducted systems and Wi-Fi control on split systems let you switch on, change zones and set a holding temperature from your phone.
Splits or a multi-head in most cases. Beach houses often have raked ceilings and no roof space, and conditioning two or three rooms suits how they are used.
Yes, Mornington is inside the Victorian Energy Upgrades area. Eligibility depends on the property and what is being replaced, and we confirm it before you commit.
