Winter Warmers
As winter settles in, heating becomes a hot topic (pun intended) in homes across Victoria. And in 2025, more households are shifting away from old-school gas heating and embracing efficient, electric alternatives. Here’s a quick rundown of what’s popular and why:
Reverse-Cycle Split Systems
These are hands-down the most popular option right now—and for good reason. They heat your home in winter, cool it in summer, and are much cheaper to run than gas. Plus, if you’ve got solar panels, you can save even more. There are also government rebates available if you’re switching from gas.
Ducted Reverse-Cycle Systems
If you want to heat (or cool) the whole house, this is a great pick. You can zone it to only warm up the rooms you're using, which is super efficient. More upfront cost, but worth it for comfort and savings in the long run.
Hydronic Heating
Hydronic systems use warm water to heat your floors or radiators. They're quiet, consistent, and feel amazing—but can be pricey to install. If you’re building or renovating, it’s worth considering.
Panel Heaters & Underfloor Heating
Perfect for smaller spaces or occasional use—like the bathroom. They’re simple to install and pair well with solar if you want to keep bills low.
With gas on the way out and electric heating taking over, now’s a great time to explore options that are cheaper to run and better for the planet. If you're not sure what suits your home best, chat to a heating specialist and see what rebates are available.
