Quick answer: Freeze Please installs and replaces gas ducted heaters for homes across South East Melbourne. We size the heater to your home, check the existing ductwork and return air, and install an efficient unit with a compatible controller, so the whole house warms evenly.
Replacement or new installation?
When replacing an existing heater, the ductwork can often be reused if it’s in good condition and correctly sized. We inspect it first and tell you what needs replacing.
In a home without ducts, a new installation means running ductwork through the roof space or under the floor. We assess access before quoting.
Choosing the right heater
- Capacity: sized to the home’s floor area, insulation and ceiling height.
- Energy rating: gas ducted heaters carry a star rating, and more stars means more efficient.
- Location: roof space, under the floor, or an external unit mounted on a wall.
- Zoning: heat living and sleeping areas separately with ducted zoning.
- Controller: programmable or Wi-Fi controllers for convenience and savings.
Gas ducted heating or ducted reverse-cycle?
Gas ducted heating provides strong, fast heat using mains gas. Ducted reverse-cycle air conditioning uses electricity, heats and cools from one system, and pairs well with rooftop solar.
If you’re building, note that in Victoria, new homes covered by planning permit applications lodged from 1 January 2024 must be all-electric and can’t be connected to mains gas. We’ll explain the running costs and suitability of both options for your home. See ducted heating and cooling.
Our installation process
- Inspection of the home, existing heater and ductwork, followed by a written quote.
- Removal of the old heater, if replacing.
- Installation of the new heater, flue and return-air connection.
- Connection of gas, power and the controller, plus ductwork connections.
- Commissioning: checking gas pressure, burner operation, the flue and ventilation, and testing for carbon monoxide spillage.
- Handover, including how to use the controller and when to book servicing.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a gas ducted heater replacement take?
A like-for-like replacement can often be completed in a day. New installations with new ductwork take longer, and we confirm the timeframe in your quote.
Can I reuse my existing ductwork?
Sometimes. If the ducts are in good condition, well insulated and correctly sized, they can be reused, which reduces the cost.
Should I choose gas ducted heating or reverse-cycle?
It depends on your home, your energy costs, whether you want cooling as well, and whether you have solar. We’ll compare both options for your situation.
