Why? Because gas is still essential to keeping Victoria warm. And the Government knows it.

The Government Just Proved Gas Isn’t Going Anywhere

The Grattan Institute’s Energy and Climate Change Program Director confirmed the new drilling approval is a positive move for Victoria’s energy security — particularly during peak demand periods when the grid is under pressure.

In plain terms: when Melbourne hits its coldest winter weeks and every building needs heating, gas is still the reliable backstop. The Government’s own decision-making tells the real story — they’re not shutting gas down, they’re drilling for more of it.

Don’t Let the Rhetoric Fool You

If you’ve been told your gas ducted heater is on borrowed time — or that you need to rip it out and replace it with a heat pump — take a breath. The Government’s own actions tell a different story.

A well-maintained gas ducted heating system remains one of the most cost-effective and reliable ways to heat a building. Properly serviced, these systems deliver consistent, whole-building warmth through our coldest winters at a fraction of the capital cost of a full electric replacement.

What This Means for Melbourne Building Owners

• Your system has a future — gas supply in Victoria is being actively secured at government level
• Replacements aren’t urgent — maintain what you have and get more life from your existing asset
• Efficiency is the priority — a regularly serviced system runs cheaper and breaks down less when you need it most

Keep Your Gas Heating System in Peak Condition

The smartest move right now isn’t making expensive decisions based on political headlines — it’s making sure your system is running at its best before next winter arrives.
