Reverse cycle just means one air conditioner that heats as well as it cools. In summer it pulls heat out of the house; in winter it runs the same cycle backwards and pulls warmth from the outside air in, which is why it's a heat pump, and why it costs about a third of gas ducted to run for the same warmth. One head on the wall does a room, ducted in the roof does the whole home, and it's now the upgrade the VEU rebate is written for.
One machine that both heats and cools, a heat pump on the wall or in the roof. It's the cheapest way to heat a Melbourne home, it's now VEU-rebate eligible, and it comes in three shapes: a split for a room, multi-head for a few, ducted for the whole house.
One machine, both seasons. A reverse-cycle unit runs the refrigeration cycle both ways, cooling the house in February and warming it in July off the same box on the wall. No separate heater, no second system to service, no gas line to run.
You're reading about reverse cycle air conditioning. Here it is next to everything else we fit, in case it isn't the one.

You’re reading this oneOne outdoor unit, one indoor head. The right answer for a bedroom, a living room or a granny flat: the simplest system there is, the least to run, and the quickest to get in. Most go in back-to-back in a single morning.

One outdoor unit running two to five indoor heads. Worth it when you want three bedrooms done but only have room, or body-corporate permission, for a single condenser outside.

Whole-home heating and cooling from a single system in the roof. Vents in every room, zoned so you are not paying to condition the bedrooms at 7pm. New builds and retrofits both.

Roof-mounted, runs on water and a fan rather than refrigerant. Cheap to run and moves a lot of air, which suits the drier inland suburbs. Needs windows cracked to work, and it struggles on humid days.

Answer the three and the answer appears here.
We walk the home, check ceiling height, window aspect and insulation, then compute the actual kW load. Nothing gets guessed, a 5 kW room quote sizes to a 5 kW unit, not a 7.
Back to you inside 12 business hours with the model number, capacity, line-set length, controller spec, warranty position and total installed price. No 'from $X' bait.
Mitsubishi warehouse in Melbourne is same-day on common stock. We confirm your install day the moment the unit lands with us.
Single-split back-to-back is 3-4 hours on site. Multi-head or ducted is a full day. Drop sheets down, dust extraction on the wall cut, conduit colour-matched outside.
We run it up, check refrigerant pressures, walk you through the remote and MELCloud Wi-Fi setup. You sign the job card when you're satisfied, not before.

It's an air conditioner that works both ways. In summer it moves heat out of the house to cool it; in winter it reverses and moves heat from the outside air into the house to warm it. That makes it a heat pump, and it's why one unit covers both jobs instead of a separate heater and cooler.
Yes, and by a wide margin on a Melbourne winter. A heat pump delivers roughly three units of heat per unit of electricity, so for the same warmth it costs about a third of what gas ducted does to run. The saving grows every time gas prices rise.
A split heats and cools the room it's in, so it's the answer for a bedroom, a living room or a granny flat. Ducted puts one system in the roof and vents every room, zoned so you're not paying to condition empty bedrooms. Three or four rooms without going ducted is where a multi-head fits. We size it to your house at the quote.
Yes. Modern reverse-cycle systems hold their rated heating output down to around 2 °C and keep working well below that, the Mitsubishi Hyper Heating range in particular is built for it. For the frost pockets up in the hills we spec the cold-climate models rather than a standard unit.
In most cases, yes. Reverse-cycle upgrades are a core Victorian Energy Upgrades activity, especially replacing an old gas or electric heater. Where your property qualifies we handle the paperwork and take the rebate straight off the installed price at the quote.
A single split starts from around $2,199 installed; a whole-home ducted system is a bigger job. Because the range is so wide we quote it to your house rather than a 'from' number, and the VEU rebate comes off where it applies. The written quote is the number you pay.
“Took the old gas Rinnai out, dropped in a Reclaim heat pump, sorted the VEU rebate so it came straight off the price. Bloke on the phone is the bloke on the tools, refreshing.”
“The VEU paperwork looked scary online. They filled it all in, I signed once at the quote and once on the day. Rebate was already in the price. Painless.”
“Quote number matched the invoice exactly. No 'we hit unexpected wiring' story at the end. Nice change.”
“Bedroom Mitsubishi went in before lunch. Neat pipework, brackets straight, temp checked before they left. Would use again for the lounge.”

“Answered the phone myself, quoted the job, showed up to install the job. That trail of trust doesn't exist with most of the bigger mobs anymore.”
“Hot water died on a Sunday with three kids in the house. Answered the phone, had a temp loaner running by lunch, new iStore in on Tuesday. That's service.”
“A week after install they rang to check the heat pump was running quiet and the app was set up. First tradie who's ever followed up after payment cleared.”

“Had three quotes for a ducted system. These guys were the only ones who actually crawled into the roof. Middle of the pack on price but installed cleaner than the others would have.”
“Full ducted retrofit over two days. When they left the roof cavity was tidier than they found it and the driveway had been swept. Small thing but it matters.”
“Walked me through the Milieu tablet, showed the wife how to use it, showed us the compliance cert. Ten minutes of teaching that other installers just skip.”
