VBA-licensed gas fitting. Full Victorian Plumbing Licence + Type-A gas endorsement. Every gas job compliant with AS/NZS 5601.
Three trades on one licence, so this page covers all of them. Start with the one that brought you here. Each has its own page with the models, the prices and the honest limits.
A gas furnace in the roof or against an outside wall, ducted to vents through the house. Still the least expensive way to heat a whole Melbourne home through winter, and the fastest to bring one up from cold.

Heats water on demand, so it never runs out and there's no tank losing heat overnight. Wall-mounted outside and about the size of a briefcase.
See the full detailAn annual check of the burner, heat exchanger and flue, with a carbon monoxide test on the running appliance. This is the one that matters, a cracked heat exchanger has no smell and no warning.

A temporary unit plumbed in the same day so the house has hot water while you decide what to replace the old one with. $30 a day, and the $350 set-up and removal is waived if we do the replacement.
See the full detailA gas ducted heater lives in one of three places: a cupboard inside, a slab against an outside wall, or up in the roof. Which one you have already been decided years ago by whoever built the house, and a like-for-like replacement goes back where the old one came out. Hot water is simpler: the unit is about the size of a briefcase, on an outside wall.
What's gone wrong, how old it is, and how urgent it is. Runs in your browser, nothing recorded, nothing sent.
Answer the three and the answer appears here.
A cracked heat exchanger puts carbon monoxide into the air your house is breathing, and it does it silently. There is no smell, no alarm on most homes, and the early symptoms read as a bad night's sleep. This is the single reason we will not let a gas heater over ten years old go unserviced without saying something about it.
Gas leak, no hot water, CO alarm, call and we'll be on-site same-day. Standard call-out $120 in-hours, $220 after-hours. Fee waived if repair goes ahead on the day.
Send a photo of the existing unit and we'll come back the same business day with the replacement model, capacity, star rating and installed price. Includes VEU eligibility check for the swap.
Ducted heater, is the cavity + ductwork reusable? (Usually yes on a like-for-like retrofit.) Hot water, is the existing pad + pipework good, or does it need rework? We tell you before we touch anything.
Brivis ducted replacement, 3-4 hours if the ducts + controller wiring reuse cleanly. Continuous flow hot water swap, 3-5 hours. Same-day for both. Old unit off the pad and loaded up.
Gas pressure test to AS/NZS 5601, controller programmed, temperature setpoint checked, we run hot water at the tap. You sign the job card when it's running the way you want.
Gas compliance certificate emailed inside 24 hours. Manufacturer warranty registered in your name at the same time.
Everything else we do here is priced on its own card above. These are the ones that don’t belong to any one system.
*Prices subject to eligibility, site inspection and rebate program changes. Final quote provided in writing.
Every model, spec and installed price sits on the brand page. One press each.
60 seconds, no obligation, replied within 12 business hours. Rebates applied and GST included, so the number you get is the number you pay.
Yes, every new gas appliance install or replacement in Victoria requires a Type-A compliance certificate from a licensed gas fitter. We issue this on every job and email it to you inside 24 hours.
Yes, for gas leaks, burst pipes, no hot water and CO alarms across the corridor. Standard call-out is $120 in-hours, $220 after-hours. Fee waived if you accept the repair the same day.
If the gas unit is over 10 years old, a heat pump often pays back in 2–4 years through energy savings + the VEU rebate. We'll quote both side-by-side so you can see the net-of-rebate numbers before deciding.
15-year-old Brivis is usually past its economic repair life for anything more than a controller / thermocouple fix. A Wombat replacement reuses your existing ducts and controller wiring, which is what keeps it a one-day job rather than a rebuild.
Yes. We're licensed refrigeration + gas so we can decommission the gas and install a reverse-cycle ducted or splits in the same visit. Usually the cleanest way to do a full swap.
Rotten-egg smell, hissing near the meter, unusually high gas bill, or dizziness / headaches near a burning appliance. Get out of the house, call the emergency gas line (1800 427 532) then call us. We'll be on-site same-day to leak-test and repair.
Yes, Puretec. Whole-home on the incoming main so every tap and appliance runs on filtered water, a protection filter on the cold inlet to your hot water system, and under-sink units for drinking water. Which one is right depends entirely on what you've noticed, so tell us that first and we'll point you at the one that fixes it. There's a full write-up of all three at /water-filtration, including what a filter does not do.
“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.”
