Thinking about whether to replace your gas heater with a split system? The first question is usually “what will it actually cost me?” Here are three real jobs we’ve done around Hamilton, with the real numbers.
Real jobs, real numbers
| Changed from | Changed to | Total job | VEU support | What they paid |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gas space heater | 1 split system | $3,940 | -$1,540 | $2,400 |
| Gas wall furnace | 1 split system | $4,130 | -$1,130 | $3,000 |
| Ducted gas heating | 2 split systems | $6,490 | -$2,520 | $3,970 |
Prices include GST. Each job included removing the old heater, capping the gas and disposing of the old unit at an EPA-approved site.
Why the numbers are different
The first two jobs look pretty similar, but the VEU support wasn’t the same. That’s because it depends on three things:
- What you have now
- What you’re replacing it with
- The job itself

Quick questions
Does the VEU program cover new gas heaters?
No. It supports replacing gas heating with an efficient reverse-cycle split system. You can read more on the official Victorian Energy Upgrades website.
Can you tell me my number over the phone?
Not accurately. Every home’s different, so we need to see yours first.
