Gas-ducted heating is one of Australia’s favourite heating systems. These heating systems heat your entire home efficiently and cost-effectively. Here’s a brief overview of how gas-ducted heating works and why you should consider installing it in your home.

How Does It Work?

Gas-ducted heating works by circulating warm air through a system of ducts – passages used to deliver and remove air. Ducts are typically installed in the ceilings of homes. A gas furnace produces heat and distributes it through the ducts to various rooms.

It’s an efficient way to heat your entire home as it can be controlled from a central system and either be set to heat the whole house or particular zones.

The Benefits Of Gas-Ducted Heating

1. Comfortable Temperatures

The temperature and humidity in your home can have a significant impact on your comfort. Gas-ducted heating gives you complete control over both.

Proper use of the unit ensures that your home is kept at an optimal temperature and humidity level which helps to create the perfect living environment. Adjusting the temperature and humidity via the central system creates and maintains the perfect balance of comfort and energy efficiency.

When having a family gathering, adjusting the temperature and humidity allows you to adapt your home environment to accommodate more people. When relaxing at home on your own you can re-adjust the settings, maintaining energy efficiency.

2. Energy Efficient

Gas-ducted heating is an energy-efficient way to heat your home. It only uses the gas necessary to maintain the desired temperature while keeping the air fresh and comfortable.

This type of heating system utilises a network of ducts throughout the home to distribute and deliver heated air to relevant living areas reducing energy waste.

After the initial installation, gas-ducted heating systems require minimal maintenance and can continue to heat your home efficiently for 25 years.

3. Safe Heating Option

Gas-ducted heating is a safe and efficient method for heating large areas. Unlike other heating systems, there’s no open flame or exposed electrical elements, eliminating potential fire hazards and making the system less prone to overheating.

The system is linked to a thermostat, minimising energy consumption and enabling it to be operated remotely or on a timer, providing great flexibility and convenience.

4. Zoning Technology

Gas-ducted heating can be zoned to heat different areas of your home at different times. This can be done manually or automatically, depending on your needs. Automated zoning controls are especially convenient if you have a large home with different heating needs in different areas.

This targeted approach to climate control ensures that you can get the most efficient use of your heating system, allowing you to save energy and money. It also allows you to focus on heating in certain areas when needed, such as bedrooms during the night and living areas during the day.
