An ageing gas ducted heater may provide winter warmth, but it cannot deliver cooling during Melbourne\u2019s warmer months. For one homeowner, Green Electric Solutions<\/a><\/strong> upgraded the existing Bonaire gas heater to a modern Panasonic ducted heating and cooling system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Completed on 8 October 2026<\/strong>, the project in Tarneit VIC 3029<\/strong> involved a home of approximately 121\u2013140 m\u00b2<\/strong>, transitioning from heating-only to year-round comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Gas Heating to Year-Round Comfort<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Green Electric Solutions installed the Panasonic S-180PE4R indoor unit and U-180PZH3R8 outdoor unit<\/strong>, part of Panasonic\u2019s R32 Inverter NX Series Splittable Ducted range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With 18kW cooling and 20kW heating capacity<\/strong>, the system combines inverter technology and R32 refrigerant to provide ducted comfort throughout the home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This upgrade demonstrates how Green Electric Solutions helps Victorian homeowners replace outdated heating systems with modern solutions designed for both summer and winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

$6,200 VEU Rebate Helps Make the HVAC Upgrade More Accessible in Tarneit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Tarneit heating and cooling upgrade received significant support through the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program<\/strong>, helping reduce the customer’s overall cost of replacing the existing gas ducted system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why This Upgrade Matters for the Tarneit Home<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Replacing an ageing gas ducted heater is an opportunity to rethink your home\u2019s comfort, not just replace an old appliance. This Tarneit homeowner now has one Panasonic ducted system for heating in winter and cooling in summer<\/strong>, providing a more versatile solution for Melbourne\u2019s changing weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For homeowners still relying on gas heating, the next step could be a similar upgrade. The right system depends on your property, comfort requirements and budget, while eligible Victorian households may also benefit from available VEU incentives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
