Changeovers we have done
Really happy with the whole experience. Brad was easy to deal with from the beginning, arrived on time and completed the heater installation without any fuss. They took the time to explain how everything worked and cleaned up properly before they left. The new heater is working really well and the house warms up much faster than before. The price was reasonable and there were no unexpected surprises. I would definitely use them again and have no hesitation recommending them to anyone needing a new heater installed.
Came same day diagnosed and fixed the problem. Didn’t just try to upsell a new unit. Honest and trustworthy.
My heater broke down, and I hired him to install a new gas heater. Their service was extremely professional, the attitude was fantastic, and the communication was always timely. I felt completely at ease throughout the whole process. I highly recommend them!

Questions people ask
How much is the Victorian Energy Upgrades discount for ducted heating?
Up to $5,530 when an existing gas ducted heater is removed and replaced with an efficient reverse cycle air conditioner. The exact amount depends on the system installed and the size of the home. You get the figure with the quote.
Who is eligible?
Any Victorian home or business where the gas heater being replaced is more than two years old. Owner-occupiers, landlords and tenants with the owner's consent all qualify. There is no income test.
Do I have to do any paperwork?
No. Heat Cool Today is accredited through rebateM8, so the discount is applied on the invoice and the program paperwork is handled as part of the job. You sign a consent form on the day.
What happens to the old gas heater?
It is decommissioned and removed as part of the program. The rules require the old unit to be taken out, not left in place.
What changes in 2027?
From 1 March 2027, rental properties in Victoria must replace a failed gas heater with an efficient electric one. Owner-occupiers can still choose gas heating, but new homes must be all-electric from 1 January 2027. Property managers in the outer east are already planning changeovers before winter 2027.
Can I get the discount for a split system instead?
Yes. Replacing a gas space heater with a reverse cycle split system attracts a discount of up to $1,610. The full $5,530 applies to ducted gas heaters replaced with ducted reverse cycle.
