Why this matters

Why convert now?

Gas prices keep rising, the boiler is getting older, and rebates won't last forever. Here's why this upgrade pays off.

Keep your existing hydronic

Your radiators, underfloor loops, or panels stay. We only replace the boiler — saving cost, disruption, and demolition work.

Lower running costs

Heat pumps deliver 3-4 units of heat for every unit of electricity. Even with electricity prices, you'll typically pay less than running an old gas boiler.

Rebate-eligible

Victorian Energy Upgrade rebates of up to $3,000 are available for qualifying conversions. Significantly reduces upfront cost.

All-electric future-proofing

No gas bill, no gas safety inspection, no carbon emissions from your heating. Cleaner home, easier-to-sell home, better long-term value.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Will my existing radiators or underfloor still work?

In most cases, yes. We verify your existing system is compatible with the new heat pump output during the assessment. Sometimes radiator sizing needs a tweak, but the bulk of the system stays.

How long does the conversion take?

Typical boiler-to-heat-pump conversion is 2-3 days on-site. We coordinate the gas decommission and electrical works as part of the same job.

What rebates apply?

Victorian Energy Upgrade rebates of up to $3,000 are available for qualifying installations. Exact amount depends on the system specified. We confirm in writing.

Do you handle the gas decommissioning?

Yes. As licensed mechanical plumbers and gas-fitters, we decommission the gas line, cap it to code, and certify the work.
