Air Conditioning Installation Melbourne Northern Suburbs 2026 | Evitech
Evitech installs reverse cycle split systems, multi-split systems, and ducted air conditioning across Melbourne’s northern suburbs — including Craigieburn, Epping, Thomastown, Mernda, South Morang, Bundoora, and surrounding areas. VEU rebates are available for eligible upgrades, including replacing gas ducted heating with reverse cycle ducted systems.
Why Melbourne's Northern Suburbs Need Quality Heating & Cooling
The northern growth corridor — Craigieburn, Mernda, Whittlesea, South Morang — experiences some of Melbourne’s most extreme temperature variation. Summer maximums regularly hit 40°C+ while winter minimums drop to 3–5°C.
The housing stock in these suburbs is predominantly newer 4–5 bedroom homes in estates built post-2005, many with:
- Gas ducted heating already installed (rebate-eligible for reverse cycle upgrade)
- Existing ceiling cavity access (well-suited for ducted systems)
- Limited or no cooling in many cases
This combination — cold winters, hot summers, and existing ductwork — makes the northern suburbs one of the strongest markets for reverse cycle ducted upgrades in Melbourne.
Recommended Systems by Suburb Type
Newer estates (Craigieburn, Mickleham, Mernda, South Morang): Ducted reverse cycle is the ideal upgrade. Homes in these areas typically have gas ducted heating already installed, and the existing ductwork can often be reused. The replacement qualifies for a significant VEU rebate.
Older brick homes (Epping, Thomastown, Bundoora, Lalor): Multi-split systems are often more practical where ceiling cavity access is limited. A multi-split connects 2–4 indoor units to one outdoor unit, delivering room-by-room control without requiring ceiling ductwork.
Apartments and townhouses (Preston, Reservoir, Northcote): Single split systems for the main living area, with additional units for bedrooms. Most apartments don’t have ceiling access for ducted.
VEU Rebates in the Northern Suburbs
Residents of Craigieburn, Epping, Thomastown, and all surrounding northern suburb postcodes are eligible for VEU rebates when replacing qualifying heating systems.
Most commonly rebated upgrades in the north:
- Gas ducted heating → reverse cycle ducted (highest rebate category)
