When a homeowner in Rowville decided to upgrade from an outdated Brivis by Rinnai gas ducted heating system, the result was not just better comfort—but a complete transformation in energy efficiency, running costs, and year-round performance.
This project, completed on 30 April 2026 (in Rowville, VIC 3178), showcases how switching to a modern 20kW Mitsubishi Electric ducted heating and cooling system can unlock serious savings, especially when combined with government rebates under the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program.
With support from Green Electric Solutions, a VEU-accredited provider, the installation was carried out with full compliance, proper system sizing, and maximum rebate optimization, ensuring the homeowner received both financial benefits and long-term energy efficiency

Why Switch from Rinnai Gas Heating to Mitsubishi Electric Ducted HVAC? Seamless Upgrade by Green Electric Solutions
Older gas ducted systems (such a Brivis by Rinnai installed in this property) are becoming increasingly expensive to run and maintain. They also lack cooling functionality, meaning homeowners often rely on separate systems.
By upgrading to an electric ducted system:
- You get heating + cooling in one solution
- Energy efficiency improves significantly
- Carbon emissions are reduced
- Maintenance becomes simpler and more predictable
In this case, the old gas heater was fully decommissioned and replaced with a high-performance Mitsubishi Electric system (Model: PUZ-ZM200YKA-A / PEA-M200LAA), designed for both heating and cooling across the entire home.
Understanding the VEU Rebate (How You Save Big)
The Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program is designed to reduce energy consumption and emissions by encouraging households to switch to efficient electric systems.
Here’s how it worked in this project:
- 79 VEECs (Victorian Energy Efficiency Certificates) were generated
- Each certificate represents 1 tonne of CO₂ reduction
- These certificates were assigned to an accredited provider (Green Electric Solutions), allowing the homeowner to receive an upfront discount
This is why the rebate amount reached $6,778, significantly lowering the overall cost.
