Ducted Heating Melbourne – Installation, Upgrades & Same-Day Repairs
Ducted heating is one of the most effective ways to keep an entire Melbourne home warm through winter, and it’s a big decision; the system you choose now is one you’ll live with for years. Whether you’re installing ducted heating for the first time, upgrading an ageing gas system, or getting a fault fixed before the cold sets in, our team handles the full range of ducted heating and cooling work across Melbourne, backed by 25+ years in the industry. Ducted heating is one of the core services we offer at 24h Melbourne Plumbers, alongside our broader heating and cooling work.
What Our Installation Service Covers
New System Installations for Homes
Whether you’re building new or retrofitting an older Melbourne home, we’ll help you choose a ducted heating system sized correctly for your floor plan, ceiling height, and the way you actually use each room. A system that’s undersized for the home will constantly struggle to keep up, while an oversized one cycles on and off more than it should, wearing out components faster. Poorly sized systems are one of the most common causes of uneven heating and higher-than-expected gas bills, so getting this right at installation matters more than most homeowners realise.
Gas Ducted Heating Upgrades and Replacements
If your existing gas ducted heating system is past its typical 15 to 20 year lifespan, struggling to keep up, or costing more to run each winter than it should, an upgrade is often more cost-effective long-term than continuing to repair an ageing unit. We’ll assess your current setup, talk you through the options, and handle the full replacement, including reusing existing ductwork where it’s still in good condition, to keep costs down.
Repairs and Ongoing Servicing
A ducted heating system that isn’t serviced regularly is more likely to fail exactly when you need it most. Our team repairs faults across all major ducted heating brands and offers ongoing servicing to keep your system running efficiently and safely, including checks that matter for gas safety compliance. Regular servicing also helps catch small issues, like a worn part or a minor airflow problem, before they turn into a bigger and more expensive repair.

What to Consider Before You Install
Before booking a ducted heating installation, it’s worth thinking through a few things: how your home is zoned (heating the whole house evenly isn’t always the goal,some homeowners prefer separate zones for bedrooms rather than living areas), whether your existing ductwork can be reused, and how your system’s lifespan compares to the alternatives. It’s also worth factoring in your home’s insulation and layout, since a system sized for an open-plan home won’t necessarily suit a house with lots of smaller, closed-off rooms. Understanding how long ducted heating systems typically last and how ducted heating zones work can help you make a more informed decision before installation.
Same-Day Repairs Across Melbourne
A ducted heating system that stops working in the middle of winter can’t wait. We offer same-day repairs across Melbourne for exactly this reason. If your system has stopped heating properly, is making unusual noises, or won’t turn on at all, common causes of ducted heating faults can help you understand what might be going on before one of our technicians diagnoses and fixes the problem, often the same day.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does ducted heating installation cost in Melbourne?
Cost depends on your home’s size, how many zones you need, and whether existing ductwork can be reused or needs to be installed from scratch. We provide a clear, obligation-free quote before any work begins, so you know the cost upfront with no surprises once the job starts.
How long does a ducted heating installation take?
Most residential installations are completed within one to a few days, depending on the size of the home and whether ductwork needs to be installed from scratch or modified to suit a new system.
Can you upgrade my existing ducted heating system?
Yes, we regularly upgrade older gas ducted heating systems, and where possible we reuse existing ductwork to help keep the cost of an upgrade down.
Do you repair ducted heating systems installed by another company?
Yes, our technicians repair and service ducted heating systems regardless of who originally installed them.
How often should ducted heating be serviced?
An annual service before the cold season starts is the general recommendation, though systems that see heavy daily use over a long winter may benefit from a mid-season check as well.
Do you also install systems that heat and cool through the same ductwork?
Yes, that’s a reverse cycle ducted system, a separate product from gas ducted heating. Our heating and cooling team can talk you through whether it suits your home better than a heating-only system.
