Heat your home without gas
Electric heating is no longer a compromise. Modern air-to-water heat pumps run hydronic systems silently and efficiently — and electric under-tile heating turns cold bathroom floors into a real comfort. Both work beautifully in South East Melbourne homes.
South East Melbourne
Air-to-water heat pumps
A heat pump is the all-electric engine for a hydronic heating system. It extracts heat from the outside air — even in cold weather — and uses it to warm water that flows through your underfloor loops, radiators, or trench convectors. Quiet, efficient, and powered by electricity rather than gas.
- Delivers 3-4 units of heat for every unit of electricity used — significantly more efficient than gas boilers.
- Pairs with new hydronic builds or replaces an existing gas boiler while keeping your current radiators or underfloor loops.
- Suitable for underfloor heating in new builds — heating output matched to the standard Australian home.
- Works with radiator panels at flow temperatures up to 65°C.
- Enhanced saturated vapor injection for cold-weather performance, and inverter technology for energy efficiency and quiet operation.
- Eligible for Victorian Energy Upgrade rebates — significantly reducing upfront cost.
Electric under-tile floor heating
Cold tile floors in bathrooms and laundries are one of the easiest things to fix in a renovation — and one of the most appreciated upgrades day to day. Electric under-tile heating sits directly under the tiles and warms the floor on demand. It's not a whole-home heating solution — it's targeted comfort where it matters most.
- Turns cold bathroom and laundry floors into warm, comfortable surfaces.
- Devex Xmat MG 150 heating mat is only 3.5mm thick — fits under tiles without raising floor levels.
- Activated by a wall thermostat — set the schedule and forget it.
- 20-year warranty on the heating mat.
- Best installed during a bathroom renovation or new build — retrofitting later is much more expensive.
- Requires an electrical provision for the thermostat — we coordinate with your electrician or include it in the scope.
Save thousands on your electric heating install
Victorian Energy Upgrade rebates apply to qualifying air-to-water heat pump installations — significantly reducing the upfront cost of going all-electric. The exact amount depends on the system specified and your home. We confirm eligibility and rebate value in your written quote.

How does an air-to-water heat pump differ from a regular split-system air conditioner?
Both are heat pumps, but they deliver heat differently. A split system blows warm air into a room. An air-to-water heat pump heats water, which is then pumped through radiators, underfloor loops, or panels. Hydronic heat feels more even and is silent — no fans, no vents.
Will a heat pump work in a cold Melbourne winter?
Yes. Modern air-to-water heat pumps with enhanced vapor injection are designed for cold-climate performance and will run efficiently through Melbourne winters. We size the system to the home so it copes with the coldest expected days.
Can I keep my existing radiators or underfloor loops if I switch from gas?
In most cases, yes. We assess your existing hydronic distribution and confirm whether it's compatible with the new heat pump output. Sometimes radiator sizing needs a small tweak, but the bulk of your existing system stays. See our gas-to-electric conversion page for details.
Is electric under-tile heating expensive to run?
It depends on usage. Most homeowners run under-tile heating on a timer for an hour or two in the morning and evening rather than all day, which keeps running costs modest. The thermostat lets you schedule it to suit your routine.
Can I install under-tile heating without renovating the bathroom?
Technically yes, but practically it's much harder. The heating mat sits directly under the tiles, so retrofitting means lifting the existing floor. It's far more cost-effective to include it during a planned renovation or new build.
What rebates am I eligible for?
Victorian Energy Upgrade rebates of up to $3,000 are available for qualifying all-electric heat pump installations. The exact amount depends on the system specified. We confirm eligibility in your written quote. See the rebates page for current details.
Do you handle the electrical work?
Yes. We're licensed mechanical plumbers and ARC-authorised refrigeration techs, and we coordinate the electrical works needed for both heat pumps and under-tile heating. One scope, one team, no finger-pointing between trades.
