Comparing Heating Options: Why Ducted Gas Still Wins in Victoria’s Homes

 

Victorians have more heating options than ever—heat pumps, reverse cycle air conditioners, electric panels—but ducted gas heating remains a strong favorite. Why? Because when it comes to performance, affordability, and long-term reliability, gas still wins. Let’s break down the comparisons and see why EcoSpread recommends it for Melbourne and beyond.




Ducted gas systems are particularly effective in cold climates, such as Ballarat, Bendigo, and rural Victoria, where electric systems lose efficiency.

Benefits of Ducted Gas in Winter

  • Maintains steady performance regardless of outdoor temperature

  • More powerful heating output per dollar spent

  • Easier to zone than heat pumps
