Five ways to fix the temperature in your Ballarat home.
From a high-efficiency ducted gas furnace for a frosty Sebastopol winter through to refrigerated reverse cycle for year-round control. We size it, supply it, install it and certify it.
Ducted gas heating
Whole-home warmth from a central gas furnace, ducted to every room. The default for cold Ballarat winters. 6-star and 7-star units, zoning available. ~$7.5K-$18K installed.
See ducted gas heating →Refrigerated ducted cooling
Add-on cooling or a full reverse-cycle system that heats and cools. Precise temperature control on humid northerly days. ~$14K-$26K for a whole home.
See refrigerated cooling →Evaporative cooling
The value cooling pick for Ballarat’s dry summers. Roof-mounted, fresh-air, low running cost. ~$4.5K-$8.5K installed for a typical home.
See evaporative cooling →Heating service & repair
Annual gas heater service, carbon monoxide testing, pilot and ignition faults, no-heat callouts. Keep an older Ballarat furnace safe and running. From ~$160.
See service & repair →Zoning & add-on cooling
Split a ducted system into zones so you heat the living areas without warming empty bedrooms. Add refrigerated cooling to an existing heating duct run. ~$900-$6K.

Sizing for the coldest town in the state.
Ballarat sits around 435m up in the Central Highlands and is consistently one of the coldest population centres in Victoria. Winter overnight lows of zero to 2 degrees are normal from June to August, with hard frosts and occasional snow on Mount Buninyong and the higher ground. A heater sized for Melbourne’s milder bayside climate is undersized here. We calculate the heating load properly, factoring the elevation, the older weatherboard and solid-brick housing stock in Ballarat East and Soldiers Hill, and the insulation level, so the unit actually holds temperature on a 1 degree morning.
Matching the system to a dry-summer, cold-winter climate.
Ballarat’s climate is the classic Central Highlands split: genuinely cold winters and hot, dry, low-humidity summers. That combination changes the best-value answer. For heating, natural-gas ducted is usually the cheapest whole-home option here. For cooling, the dry summer air means evaporative cooling works brilliantly and costs little to run, while refrigerated reverse cycle is the pick if you want one ducted system to do everything. We don’t push one product, we match the system to your home and how you live in it.
Older housing stock and retrofit ductwork.
Much of Ballarat’s housing predates modern ducted systems: Federation and Victorian-era homes around Lake Wendouree and Soldiers Hill, post-war brick in Wendouree and Sebastopol, plus the new estates out at Lucas, Alfredton and Winter Valley. Retrofitting ducts into an older home with limited roof or subfloor space takes planning. We assess access first, route the ducting to keep losses low, and seal the runs so you are not paying to heat the roof cavity.
