There is no better feeling than a home that is warm in every room — not just the one nearest the heater. Ducted heating makes that possible, distributing warmth evenly throughout the whole home through a network of vents that runs quietly in the background. For larger homes with multiple living areas and bedrooms, it is often the most practical and comfortable long-term solution available.
McKinnon Heating & Cooling has been designing and installing ducted heating systems across Melbourne for over 50 years. We assess your home before recommending anything, work with your existing infrastructure where possible, and carry trusted brands including Brivis, Rinnai, and Daikin.

Ducted Heating Installation Tailored to Kew Properties
Many Kew residences feature ceilings of 3 metres or higher, which creates a significantly larger volume of air to heat than a standard home. When heat load calculations fail to account for this, the result is an undersized system that struggles through winter and drives energy bills upward. McKinnon Heating & Cooling takes a different approach to every ducted heating installation.
We work through a detailed assessment of your property, factoring in ceiling height, wall construction, room orientation, window types and how your family uses each space. This allows us to design a zoned system that delivers balanced airflow and targeted warmth where you need it most, without wasting energy on unoccupied rooms.
Gas Ducted Heating and Gas to Electric Conversions
McKinnon Heating & Cooling are industry leaders in gas to electric conversions. We help homeowners transition from costly gas systems to modern electric heat pump technology, which delivers superior heating performance at a fraction of the running cost. Our team manages the entire process, from assessing your existing ductwork and recommending the right unit through to a complete, professional installation.
We also participate in the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU Programme, which may provide eligible homeowners with access to energy efficiency upgrades that lower upfront costs. Whether you are looking to replace a failing gas unit or proactively future-proof your home’s heating, we will guide you through every option without overcomplicating the decision.
