Burwood has an above-average share of renters. At the 2021 Census, 37.2% of occupied homes were rented, against 28.5% across Victoria, so the air conditioning Burwood landlords install shapes how a large share of residents heat and cool their homes.
A rule change raises the stakes. From 1 March 2027, when a gas or electric heater in the main living area of a Victorian rental home permanently fails, the replacement must be an energy efficient electric system, such as reverse cycle air conditioning. A reverse cycle split system for a unit or townhouse, or ducted reverse cycle in a larger house, can meet that standard if it carries the required rating. I Heat and Cool, a family-owned business based in Pakenham, has been installing heating and cooling for over 20 years and quotes on site for free, for landlords and owner-occupiers alike.


If you rent out a property. At the 2021 Census, 2,031 occupied dwellings in Burwood were rented. For the 1 March 2027 rule, Consumer Affairs Victoria lists the energy efficient replacements that qualify:
Choosing the replacement before the old heater fails gives you time to compare models from brands such as Daikin, Panasonic, Mitsubishi Electric and Samsung, and to check whether Victorian Energy Upgrades rebates apply. For a unit or townhouse, a reverse cycle split system in the living area is a straightforward option, provided the model carries the required rating.
If you own and live in your home. Housing here is mixed: 57.9% separate houses, 26.6% semi-detached or townhouses and 15.4% flats or apartments. A three or four bedroom house suits ducted reverse cycle with zoning, and the Bureau of Meteorology’s Melbourne (Olympic Park) station, the nearest open station, averages 32.7 days a year at 30°C or hotter over its 2013 to 2026 record. If you already have gas ducted heating, owner-occupiers are not required to replace it with electric, even at end of life.
Two local checks. The Mount View Court Precinct (HO180) is a small Heritage Overlay precinct of 5 properties, where an air conditioner visible from a street (other than a lane) or public park can need a permit; there, we look for a spot hidden from the street wherever the block allows. A small part of the suburb is also in the Whitehorse Bushfire Prone Area.
