Let’s face it — Melbourne winters aren’t getting any milder, and the cost of running gas ducted heating is skyrocketing across Victoria. If you’re living in Kurunjang, Melton, or anywhere across Melbourne’s booming western suburbs, you’ve probably felt the pressure of rising energy bills. That is exactly where a Kurunjang homeowner found themselves before reaching out to us at Green Electric Solutions — Melbourne’s trusted local specialists in gas-to-electric home energy upgrades.
Operating straight out of Altona and servicing a wide 80km radius across greater Melbourne, our team is seeing a massive surge of local families making the smart switch away from costly gas systems. A homeowner in Kurunjang had the perfect setup for a complete energy transformation: a single-storey residential property of approximately 121 to 140m² — a very common Melbourne home size — relying entirely on an inefficient, aging gas ducted heating system. We completely decommissioned the old gas unit and installed a top-tier Midea 25kW Ducted Reverse Cycle Heating and Cooling System, purpose-built for Melbourne’s climate extremes. Here is how the upgrade was completed — and how the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program covered a significant portion of the cost.
Thinking about switching from gas ducted heating to an energy-efficient ducted reverse cycle system in Melbourne’s west? Kurunjang and Melton homeowners could be eligible for significant rebates through Victoria’s VEU program — making now the smartest time to upgrade.

How a Kurunjang Homeowner Saved $8,200 with a 25kW Midea HVAC Upgrade
A major challenge for many homeowners looking to upgrade their climate control is the upfront cost. However, under the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program, residential properties are eligible for significant incentives when transitioning away from fossil-fuel gas heating to reverse-cycle electric systems. Each tonne of carbon emissions saved generates Victorian Energy Efficiency Certificates (VEECs).
For this Kurunjang installation, the project generated 100 VEECs. Because Green Electric Solutions is an accredited provider, the rebate was processed directly on behalf of the homeowner. The financial breakdown was as follows:
| Description | Amount (AUD) |
|---|---|
| Total Product & Installation Price (inc. GST) | $12,500.00 |
| Victorian Government VEU Rebate Applied | −$8,200.00 |
| Total Out-of-Pocket Consumer Cost | $4,300.00 |
Yes — by upgrading from gas ducted heating in Kurunjang, homeowners can significantly reduce upfront costs while improving year-round comfort. The homeowner received a premium 25kW system at a fraction of its standard market price.
Homeowners in Victoria can access government rebates when upgrading from gas ducted heating to efficient HVAC systems, reducing upfront costs.
Why the Midea 25kW Ducted System is a Game Changer in Kurunjang
We didn’t install just any standard unit. The Kurunjang home was fitted with the ultra-reliable Midea outdoor condenser paired with high-performance indoor zoning components. This system delivers 25kW of heating and 20kW of cooling capacity.
Unlike the old gas system, this setup provides efficient refrigerated cooling in summer along with powerful heating in winter. Midea’s inverter technology ensures reduced electricity consumption while maintaining consistent comfort across every room. The system is also sized in line with recommended guidelines for homes of this scale.
