Replace Gas Ducted Heating with Midea 24.4kW Reverse-Cycle Heating & Cooling
Multi-story homes have a heating problem nobody likes to admit: one ducted gas system, one thermostat, and two completely different climates under the same roof. Downstairs freezes while heat pools upstairs — and turning the heater up just makes the imbalance worse.
This Diamond Creek home broke that cycle entirely. Instead of one central system fighting gravity, six independently zoned Midea 20 kw units now heat and cool each level on its own terms—proof that multi-story comfort isn’t about more power, it’s about better placement.
24.4kW Midea Heating & Cooling System Specification
For the homeowner, the key advantage is functional rather than simply replacing one heater with another. The upgrade replaced heating-only gas equipment with an electric system providing year-round heating and cooling.
The Midea indoor units match the connected outdoor unit manufacturer, while the 24.4 kW heating capacity aligns with the VEU-recommended sizing assessment, supporting an appropriately sized installation for the property.

$8,700 VEU Rebate: What This Diamond Creek Upgrade Costs
Climate change remains a major global challenge, prompting governments to support practical energy-efficiency solutions. In Victoria, the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program helps make eligible heating and cooling upgrades more affordable. For this project, the installation generated 105 VEECs, with the benefit passed to the homeowner as a direct price reduction.
| Cost Breakdown | Amount |
|---|---|
| Total incl. GST | $4,990.00 |
| VEU Rebate | -$8,700.00 |
| Total incl. GST | $13,690.00 |
Upgrade from Gas to Efficient Electric Heating with Green Electric Solutions
Green Electric Solutions delivers professionally managed energy upgrades, helping Victorian homeowners transition from traditional gas heating to efficient electric reverse-cycle systems. As demonstrated in the Diamond Creek project, the team manages system selection, correct sizing, gas decommissioning, electrical and refrigerant works, compliance documentation, and VEU requirements.
Our approach combines qualified trade expertise with detailed installation records and rebate guidance, giving homeowners a practical, compliant pathway to improve year-round heating and cooling performance while accessing eligible Victorian energy incentives.
Professional Gas Heater Decommissioning & Licensed Installation in Diamond Creek
This Diamond Creek upgrade involved more than a simple gas-to-electric replacement. The existing Braemar TQD3 ducted gas heater was systematically decommissioned, with the gas supply isolated and capped, followed by electrical disconnection and removal of the heater’s control components. The old unit and associated materials were then dismantled for appropriate disposal.
The project involved coordinated plumbing, electrical and refrigerant-handling trades, with licensed personnel documented for the work. The VEU records classify the activity under Scenario 6(vii) and confirm that the replaced appliance was permanently rendered inoperable. The installation documentation also records compliance requirements, waste removal, appropriate sizing assessment and provision of the required consumer information and warranty documentation.
Government rebates also be available for heat pump upgrades under the VEU program and for solar and battery systems through STCs, helping Victorian homeowners reduce upfront costs and lower ongoing energy bills.
