Rethinking Winter Heating in Melbourne – The GreenOz Way
As winter takes hold across Victoria, many Melbourne homeowners are looking for more efficient ways to stay warm. Traditional gas ducted heating, once the default in most homes, is now being reconsidered as energy costs rise and new, cleaner alternatives become more accessible.
At GreenOz Solutions, we help households make informed decisions about heating upgrades—particularly those eligible for rebates under the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program. If your current heating is powered by gas or outdated electric systems, there’s a smarter and more sustainable path forward.
Why Many Homes Are Moving Away from Gas Heating
Gas heating, especially older ducted or wall-mounted systems, often results in high energy bills and a larger carbon footprint. While still common in Melbourne homes, these systems are slowly being replaced by electric reverse-cycle air conditioners—an energy-efficient solution supported by state rebates.
Reverse-cycle systems provide both heating and cooling using minimal electricity. This means you get year-round comfort while reducing long-term costs and emissions. These systems are also highly effective during Melbourne’s cold winters, even on frosty mornings.
How GreenOz Helps with the Transition
Our focus at GreenOz is helping homeowners navigate the transition to better heating systems. We specialise in:
- Identifying rebate-eligible heating upgrades
- Replacing older gas ducted or wall-mounted units; old electric centralised heaters
- Installing reverse-cycle split or ducted systems that meet energy efficiency standards
- Providing transparent information without the sales pressure
We understand that each home is different, and our team works with you to find a solution that aligns with your comfort, budget, and energy goals.
Rebates and Winter Installation: What You Should Know
Winter is often seen as an off-season for installations, which can actually benefit homeowners:
- Easier scheduling and faster turnaround times
- Timely access to rebates before peak-season changes
- Immediate energy savings during the colder months
We take care of the rebate paperwork, ensuring a smooth process from start to finish. Our team is experienced in installations across Melbourne’s suburbs—from older homes with ducted systems to new builds needing zoned heating.
Who Can Benefit the Most?
If your home currently uses:
- Gas ducted heating systems
- Gas non-ducted heaters
- Oolder central electric heating
You could be eligible for an upgrade with support from state-funded rebates. Even households already using split systems in one room may benefit from upgrading to newer, more efficient models as long as we are decommissioning the gas heaters and replacing with electric heat pump systems..
