Air conditioning Emerald

Emerald is close to our Pakenham base, and it is a hills town where heating matters more than cooling. The Bureau’s Ferny Creek station in the hills records a January mean maximum of just 24.4°C (2011 to 2026).

Historically, Cardinia Shire Council’s 2009 Emerald District Strategy described the Multinet gas network as covering virtually the same area as the Yarra Valley Water reticulated water network. So for air conditioning Emerald homes, the first decision is often whether to keep gas heating and add cooling, or move to reverse cycle for both. With 98.2% of occupied dwellings being separate houses at the 2021 Census, ducted air conditioning is an option for most homes either way.

Gas or reverse cycle in Emerald's hills homes

No forced switch. If you own and live in your home, you are not required to replace a gas ducted heater with electric, even at end of life. Moving to reverse cycle is a choice, not a deadline. If you do switch, a ducted reverse cycle system heats and cools the whole house from one outdoor unit, and Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) rebates may apply if the upgrade is eligible.

At the 2021 Census, 45.6% of occupied homes had four or more bedrooms, and zoning lets a system that size heat only the rooms in use.

All of Emerald is a designated Bushfire Prone Area and the Bushfire Management Overlay covers most of it, so we site outdoor equipment with bushfire risk in mind.

The Emerald Country Club, Estate and Landscape Precinct around Lakeside Drive and Sycamore Avenue is a residential Heritage Overlay precinct. On that land, an outdoor unit visible from a street or public park can trigger a permit requirement, so we keep units out of street view where possible.

Our free on-site quote prices gas and reverse cycle options side by side, so you can compare them properly.

Excellent service. Was told it would take up to 2 weeks for new heater to be installed. Got a call the next morning that they had a cancellation and was done that day. Both men that was sent out were very helpful and polite.
