Pricing guide

Costs vary mainly with the system type and how much ductwork is required. Baseline quotes usually cover a call‑out, labour and standard materials, while electrical or gas supply upgrades, difficult access or major duct or structural work typically increase the overall scope and cost. After-hours attendance is also usually charged at a higher rate.

  • System type and equipment specification

    Gas heaters, refrigerated (reverse‑cycle) units and premium controls have different material allowances and installation complexity, which typically affects cost.

  • Extent and condition of ductwork

    A full new ductwork install is generally more involved than reusing existing ducts, and poor duct condition can escalate the scope.

  • Need for electrical or gas upgrades

    Separate electrical switchboard work, dedicated circuits or new gas connections are excluded from standard packages and are usually quoted separately.

  • Site access and structural requirements

    Normal ceiling or roof access is assumed; restricted access, scaffolding or major structural repairs typically increase time and complexity.

  • Removal, disposal and hazardous handling

    Replacing a unit usually includes removal and disposal allowances, while hazardous-material removal or significant ceiling repairs are generally excluded and add scope.

Frequently asked questions

Do heating installers need to be licensed?
Yes — licensing is mandatory for this trade. You should confirm the installer holds the required licences for heating work, and for any associated gas or electrical tasks that may be needed.
Will I need electrical or gas supply upgrades?
Electrical or gas supply upgrades are excluded from the baseline packages and are usually quoted separately. Reverse‑cycle systems often require higher electrical capacity, and new gas mains or connections may also be additional.
Can existing ductwork be reused?
In like‑for‑like replacements ductwork and vents are generally reused with minimal repairs, while full new installs include complete duct systems. If significant duct damage is discovered, the job will typically be reclassified to a more extensive install.
Will the installer need ceiling or scaffolding access?
Standard assumptions include normal ceiling or roof access and exclude major structural works or scaffolding unless site conditions require them. If access is restricted or repairs are needed, providers will usually quote for the additional work.
