Ducted Heater Replacement Melbourne
ComfyHome Heating & Cooling is Melbourne’s first choice for trusted Ducted Heating replacement services.
Gas Ducted Heating Replacement refers to removing your existing gas heater unit and providing a changeover with a new gas heater unit using the existing ductworks, return air grill and vent registers.
If your gas heater is older than 15 years or is struggling to heat efficiently, it needs to be repaired or entirely replaced. The latter option is often recommended due to the increased efficiency of new systems compared to older ones.
Still not sure if it’s best to replace or repair? Call us now on 1300 266 394 and we will advise you on the best possible solution that fits your needs.
Gas Ducted Heating Replace or Repair?
While there are no set rules and each situation is different, there are some factors to consider when deciding between gas heater repair or replacement:
How Old is Your Heater?
With regular servicing, a Gas Ducted Heater system has an average lifespan of 10-20 years. If your heater is over 15 years old and has not been well maintained, it could be more economical to upgrade your Gas Heating system to a new unit instead of repairing it.
Is Your Gas Bill Increasing?
As your gas heater ages, it will lose efficiency, resulting in higher energy consumption. If you notice a significant increase in your utility bills, you should consider upgrading your old heater with a higher Energy Star Rating gas heater that can potentially reduce your bills by up to 50%.
Are You Repairing Your Heater Frequently?
If your gas heater is frequently breaking down, this could indicate that your heater is probably not worth repairing. Replacing it with a new unit can be more expensive upfront but will save you money on repair and utility bills in the long run.

How Much Does Gas Ducted Heating Changeover Cost?
A ballpark figure for a 3 Star Rating- 20kW Gas Heater Replacement is about $2000-$2400 to install in Melbourne. However, the actual costs can depend on several factors:
Installation Difficulty
The structure of your home and the configuration of your heating system may affect the job complexity.
Existing Components
Reusing existing ductwork, vents and return air grills may reduce the cost = if they are still in good shape.
Quality & Features
The star rating & brand of the heater unit can impact cost, while adding zoning can also increase the price.
Capacity Output (kW)
The capacity of Gas Ducted Heating ranges from 15-35kW, with the bigger the area, the higher output required.
Why Upgrade Your Gas Ducted Heating System?
While Gas Ducted Heating can be the most affordable heating option in Melbourne, you should know that not all gas heaters are equal when it comes to performance – especially when comparing an old gas heater with a new Gas Ducted Heating system!
Below are some of the benefits of investing in a new heating system:
Save Money on Bills
Modern models of gas heaters are much more energy efficient, which means they can reduce power consumption and lower your gas bills!
Save Money On Repairs
Say goodbye to endless on-going repairs. A new heater will save you time and money to repair and will always be ready for you to use in winter.
Better Performance
Old heaters may struggle to distribute heat evenly and take longer to get the job done. A changeover gas heater can boost performance for greater efficiency.
Generally speaking, your Gas Ducted Heating system is built to last for 10-20 years depending on the factors below:
Routine service & maintenance of the system
Regular return air filer cleaning or replacement
The frequency of the gas heater usage
You should consider replacing your gas heater if it is over 15 years old.
Generally, a standard Gas Ducted Heating system replacement job should take just half a day to complete. Our experienced team is the best at completing the job quickly while ensuring quality remains a priority.
Keep in mind that the job could take longer if there is a need for additional ductwork or venting installation. In some cases, we might have to create a new ductwork design for effective heating.
For Gas Ducted Heater replacement, there is no need to install new ductwork. We can make use of the existing ductwork without any issues at all.
There might be a few modifications required, but that will not be a big problem. However, you might have to consider duct replacement if the ducts leak, have severe damage or are not efficient.
