Lower Your Heating Costs with Energy-Efficient Upgrades

Are your winter heating bills climbing higher each year? You’re not alone. Many households across Victoria are still using outdated systems that consume too much energy and cost far more to run. The solution lies in upgrading to modern, energy-efficient heating systems that deliver comfort and savings.

At Climate Green Melbourne, we’re accredited specialists in reverse-cycle air conditioning, heat pumps, and solar battery installations, serving Melbourne, Bendigo, Ballarat, Moe, Kew, and nearby suburbs with expert advice, installations, and full rebate support.

🔥 Why Traditional Heating Costs More

Older systems like gas ducted heating or electric resistive heaters are far less efficient. Here’s a comparison:

Heating Type	Approx. Cost per Hour
Electric Heater (2,000W)	~$0.60 (about $14.40 per 24 hrs)
Gas Heater (Standard)	~$0.45 – $0.70
Gas Ducted Heating	~$1.50 – $3.00
Reverse Cycle Air Conditioning	~$0.20 – $0.50

Clearly, reverse-cycle air conditioning provides a far more cost-effective solution while also doubling as a cooling system in summer.

🌱 Why Choose Reverse-Cycle Air Conditioners and Heat Pumps?

These systems are recognised as the most efficient and versatile heating options:

✅ Cost-Effective: Up to 70% cheaper to run than older gas or electric systems.
✅ Dual Purpose: Heat in winter, cool in summer—one unit, year-round comfort.
✅ High Efficiency: Deliver multiple units of heat for every unit of electricity.
✅ Solar Compatible: Pair with solar and batteries to drastically reduce costs.

Switching to a reverse-cycle system or heat pump is a smart investment for any home.

💡 Tips to Reduce Heating Costs

Save even more by using these energy-smart habits:

Set Your Thermostat to 18–20°C: Ideal for warmth without high costs.
Heat Only the Spaces You Use: Use zoning or close unused rooms.
Timers Save Money: Schedule heating only when needed.
