Air Conditioning vs. Gas Heating: Why Electric Wins Every Time
In a city like Melbourne — known for its “four seasons in a day” — having a flexible and energy-efficient home heating and cooling system is essential. That’s where Climate Green, Melbourne’s trusted name in home electrification and air conditioning installation, steps in.
We often get asked: Should I stick with gas heating or switch to a reverse-cycle electric system? The answer is clear — electric air conditioning wins, every time.
Let’s break it down:
Gas Heating vs. Electric Air Conditioning: A Clear Comparison

| Heating & Cooling | Heating Only | Both Heating & Cooling in one system |
| Running Cost | Increasing gas prices | Lower electricity costs with VEU rebates |
| Installation Cost | Medium | Often subsidised through VEU program |
| Government Rebates | Limited or none | Eligible for generous VEU rebates |
| Carbon Emissions | High (fossil fuel-based) | Low to zero emissions (especially with green energy) |
| Maintenance Needs | Gas safety checks required | Low maintenance |
