Big homes heated by ducted gas, bottled gas or wood, plus studios and granny flats out the back. We fit ducted reverse cycle on new R1.5 insulated ducts, AirTouch 5 zoning and split systems, with ARC licensed technicians and our own A-Grade electricians.
Homes in Narre Warren North are bigger than most in Casey, and many sit on acreage on hilly, exposed ground. Heating them is a serious job. The common setup is a ducted gas heater serving a long single-storey or two-storey floor plan, sometimes backed by a wood heater, and on properties without mains gas the heating may run on bottled gas, which is costly to keep filled.
Replacing it with ducted reverse cycle means a larger unit, more outlets and more zones than an average suburban job. Where the roof space can be reached, the old ducts come out and new R1.5 insulated ducts sized to the new unit go in. In two-storey homes where the ground-floor ducts are buried between the floors, a Braemar Dominator is the fallback, used only where replacement is not possible.
Plenty of properties here also have a studio, a granny flat, a home office or a games room in a separate building. Those are best served by their own split system rather than a long duct run. More on our services in Narre Warren North.
Braemar, Mitsubishi Electric and Hisense systems, installed by our own crew.
A unit sized room by room to the floor area and insulation, on new R1.5 insulated ducts, with enough outlets to reach the far ends of a long house.
AirTouch 5 with a sensor in each zone, set up so the bedroom wing, living areas and any upstairs run separately. On a big house this is where the running cost is won or lost.
Studios, granny flats, offices and games rooms get their own Mitsubishi Electric or Hisense wall unit, installed in a few hours and wired on its own circuit.
Where the heating runs on bottled gas, reverse cycle ends the refills altogether. We size the system to the house and plan the switchboard capacity it needs.
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 in Berwick, a few minutes south, and two further away, each on a house with a large heating load.
In Berwick a 16kW Braemar Dominator on AirTouch 5 with two zones went in alongside 30.6kWh of battery storage and a 6kW hybrid inverter, so the heating runs on stored solar after dark.
A double-storey home in Blairgowrie running on gas heating, hot water and cooking. We rewired it to three phase and fitted Mitsubishi Electric split systems, heat pump hot water, induction cooking, 17.1kW of solar and 32kWh of battery.
Across town in Cairnlea, an 18kW ducted reverse cycle unit replaced a decommissioned gas ducted system, feeding ten vents across seven AirTouch 5 zones. The owner's rebate came to $6,300.
Even on a big house, ducted on new R1.5 ducts is typically one to two days. We confirm the time for your home in the quote.
Floor area, ceiling height, glazing and insulation for each room, plus any separate buildings that need heating or cooling.
Which ducts can be reached and replaced, where the return air goes, and where a large outdoor unit can sit.
Wings, levels and outbuildings set out with you, so the system runs only where people are.
Units, ducts, zoning, electrical work and the price after any VEU discount, in writing.
Fitted by our own crew, airflow balanced across all zones, both modes tested and the controls set up with you.
The bigger the house, the more the running cost matters.
A VEU discount applies to efficient reverse cycle heating and cooling and is largest when a gas heater is being replaced. We confirm what your home qualifies for and show it on the quote.
A large house with a large roof can carry much of its own heating load. See solar and battery in Narre Warren North.
Reverse cycle heating costs around a third of the running cost of gas heating, and on a bottled-gas property there is no tank to refill.
Undersized systems are the most common problem in big homes. We avoid them by doing the sums.
Every room measured, so the unit is matched to the house and not to the rating of the old gas heater.

Often more so. Bottled gas is an expensive way to heat a large home, and reverse cycle ends the refills while adding cooling. We check whether VEU applies to your setup at the quote.
Usually, with a correctly sized unit and good zoning. On some very large or spread-out homes, two systems or a ducted system plus splits is the better design. We tell you which after measuring.
Yes. A split system is normally the right choice for a separate building, installed in a few hours and wired on its own circuit.
Only in a two-storey home where the existing ducts cannot be reached to replace them. The Dominator sits where the gas heater was and controls airflow through those ducts. Everywhere else we fit new R1.5 insulated ducts.
Close to the indoor unit to keep the pipe run short, on a pad or wall bracket, and away from bedrooms where possible. On acreage there is rarely a shortage of good spots.
Either order works. Doing the heating first shows us the real winter load, which helps size the solar and battery. Doing both together saves a visit, and we can quote them side by side.
Every room measured and the roof checked, then a written quote with units, zoning, any outbuilding splits and the price after VEU. No obligation.
