Overview of Gas Ducted Heating

Gas Ducted Heating is a popular and efficient heating option in Melbourne. It uses gas to heat air, which is then distributed through ducts installed in the roof or floor cavity, offering versatility and cost-effectiveness.

Why choose a gas ducted system?

Explore energy-efficient gas ducted heating options and start saving!

Ducted gas systems offer significant savings by allowing you to control energy usage room-by-room, ensuring you're only heating occupied spaces. This helps reduce energy waste, lower costs, and cut your carbon footprint. The system’s central unit stops using energy once your home reaches the desired temperature, using residual heat to maintain warmth. Gas, a cleaner energy source with lower carbon emissions than coal, is also affordable due to its stable pricing. Systems come with energy-efficient ratings, and Optima offers star-rated units for even greater savings.

Gas Ducted Heating

Helping You Understand!

Gas Ducted Heating is a whole house heating solution that works via a series of ducts installed in the roof or floor.

Heated air is produced from a central heating unit that draws air from the return air grill inside your home and passes it through a gas heat exchanger, which efficiently heats the air. A fan then pushes the heated air through the ducted system for an energy efficient heating solution.

Gas Ducted Heating is regulated with a controller that allows you to set your desired temperature. Your gas heating system will then automatically turn on and off to maintain this temperature.

Gas Ducted Heating has the lowest running cost for whole house heating as it runs on natural gas, and gas is always more cost-effective than electricity in Melbourne.

However, the running cost of Ducted Gas Heating varies widely depending on some of the factors below:

  • Size of Your Home: The bigger the house, the higher output (Kw) is required, leading to higher annual running costs.
  • Energy Star Rating: A higher star rating represents better energy efficiency and results in a lower running cost.
  • Zoning Capability: Zoning options allow you to only heat the individual zones which will save your energy bills.
  • Temperature Setting: Setting higher temperatures will consume more power to reach the desired temperature.

However, the running cost of Ducted Gas Heating varies widely depending on some of the factors below:

  1. Low Running Cost: Gas is cheaper than electricity in Sydney, resulting in lower running costs compared to Ducted Refrigerated Air Conditioning.
  2. High Energy Efficiency: With up to 7-star energy rating models available, you can get a high efficiency system that uses less energy, providing you with long-terms savings over the life of the heater.
  3. Fast Warm Up: It doesn’t matter what the temperature is outside; Gas Ducted Heating will have your whole home feeling toasty warm at the touch of a button.
  4. Zone Control Available: Zoning your Ducted Heating System allowing you to control up to 4 individual zones each with their own timers, temperature settings and reduced running costs.
  5. Add-On Cooling Available: Add-On Cooling is a great way to combine heating and cooling within the same ducting system to keep you comfortable all-year round.

A typical example of a 20kW, 3 star rating Gas Ducted Heating System installed to 8 outlets should cost around $3000 to $4000 in Sydney. Some factors that will affect the cost of Gas Ducted Heating installation include:

  • House Size: The larger the area of your floor, the higher the capacity (kW) of gas heater you will need
  • Installation Difficulty: A multi-story home may require a more complex installation of vertical ducting, which can add on to the initial installation cost.
  • Energy Star Rating: The more energy efficient the gas heater, the higher the cost of the heater unit will be.
  • Zone Control: Zoning control will you save money on bills, but extra costs can apply for installing a zone system in ducted heating.

Gas Ducted Heating FAQ’s

Should i replace or repair my heater

An average lifespan of a Ducted Gas Heating System with regular routine service should probably last 10-20 years. If your heater is not well maintained and it’s over > 10 years old, the chance is it is probably uneconomical to repair, and the price could be cheaper to replace with a new heater.

To assist you in making the right decision, it is best to speak with the team at acg to give you an honest assessment on the condition of your existing heating system.

how long does it take TO INSTALL A DUCTED GAS HEATING SYSTEM

It usually takes around 1 day for new installation of a Gas Ducted Heating system with 6-8 outlets.

The exact amount of time may vary depends on some of the following factors:

  • How many outlets / ducts are required in the installation?
  • Where will the heater be installed? (Roof cavity / External wall)
  • Will zoning option be added to the Ducted Heating System?
  • We will advise you an estimate of timeframe of installation prior to commence of work.

CAN I HAVE ADD-ON COOLING ON MY GAS DUCTED HEATING SYSTEM

Add-On Cooling is a cooling unit that can be added to your existing or new Ducted Heating System.

However, in most cases, if you already have an existing Ducted Heating System, there’s a good chance that your heating unit and ducting may not be cooling-compatible.

The best practice is to confirm with our Add-On Cooling professional at ACG to ensure your existing ducting size and heating unit has sufficient airflow output for Add-On Cooling before purchasing.

WHAT SIZE GAS DUCTED HEATING DO I NEED

As a general rule of thumb of sizing a Ducted Gas Heater in Sydney areas, every 10 m² = 1 kW output required.

Say if your home is 150 m², a minimum of 15kW output is required to warm your whole house.

However, adjustment factors such as the ceiling height, home insulation, quantity of windows may affect the final results of finding to right size for your home.

Speak with the specialist at ACG for an accurate assessment of the exact size of ducted heater required for your home.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I SERVICE MY GAS

You should have your heater serviced & tested at least once every two years by a licensed or qualified gasfitter.

It is essential to check the Gas Ducted Heater on a regular basis to ensure there are no gas or carbon monoxide leakage.

Carbon monoxide (CO) is very dangerous, odourless and toxic gas that could cause carbon monoxide poisoning to human body.

If you have never had your heater serviced, we strongly suggest that you should book in a service for your ducted heating system immediately before using.
