What is a ducted gas heater?

Installing ducted gas heating in Canberra is a popular choice, in no small part due to the oft-freezing temperatures during winter. Gas ducted heaters re-circulate the air in your home via an insulated duct, with the air passing through a gas-fired heat exchanger to provide your home with toasty, warm air.

How to choose a ducted gas heater for your home

If you’re thinking of replacing an existing system or installing ducted gas heating for the first time, there are a number of points to consider. All of these factors will influence the ducted gas heating installation cost and installation time.

If you already have an existing ducted gas heater:

Ducting can deteriorate over time, so your current ducting will need to be inspected before a new installation to see whether it can be reused or whether replacing it will be necessary.
Newer models of heater will generally require a larger grille, so speak with your consultant to see if your current one is large enough or will need to be replaced.
If you currently have on/off zones designated in your home, are you happy with them? Replacing your ducted gas heater can be an opportunity to rethink which rooms you want heated or kept cool throughout the year. This can be particularly important if the way you use your house has changed over the years since the last installation.

If you don’t have an existing ducted gas heater:

Your home’s floor plan, the size of those rooms and how many levels you have in your home can influence what sort of system you need installed; large ducted systems may also require three-phase power, which is an additional cost both now and into the future.
The ease or difficulty of installing a ducted system is heavily influenced by whether your house is built out of brick, weatherboard or another material. This influences the space left inside the walls, as well as the ease of accessing it for installation.
The same applies for the type of roofing used in your home; certain styles, such as flat roofing, can make access quite difficult.

What features do you want included with you ducted heating?

When you’re considering gas ducted heating installation, there there are a number of features to consider:

On/Off Zones — Not every part of your home is used equally, so you don’t want to waste heat, energy and money warming up all of it at the same time. Simple on/off zones allow you to turn off a room or part of your home that you don’t want to heat.
Temperature Controlled Zoning — Brivis offer a zoning control system with individualised temperature control across the various zones. At Climate Master, we can provide additional information during the quoting process.
Controls — All Brivis and Bonaire systems we install come with a user-friendly controller with a 7-day timer.
Wi-Fi Control — Bonaire and Brivis gas heaters are both available with Wi-Fi control, so you can control your system from wherever you want.

Duct — All our gas heaters come standard with R1.0 duct, with an option to upgrade to R1.5 duct. Climate Master installers have also undertaken a duct installation course. We ensure a quality install every time, to make sure there’s no energy loss and even airflow.

What about the duct?

Climate Master installers have all undertaken a duct installation course, ensuring a quality install every time to make sure of no energy loss and even air flow.

Running costs and efficiency

Most older gas heater models are between 2 and 3 stars energy rating — not every energy efficient by modern standards. However, newer ducted gas heaters typically have a much higher efficiency of around 6 stars; here at Climate Master, we aim to provide you with the most energy-efficient model possible.

FAQs

How do you install ducted gas heating?

Ducted gas heater installation consists of two main elements — the central heating system itself and the ducts which carry this warmth around your home. The ducts are usually placed throughout the roof or walls of your home, made of durable and insulated material to help minimise any heat escaping before it’s transported to its destination.

The work involved varies from house to house — if you live in a brick home, modifications may need to be made to fit them in — but these kinds of complexities are considered well before installation starts.

After installation, you’ll also need to book a ducted gas heater service about once a year. This will help ensure the unit is working properly, spot any gas leakages, and determine whether the ducts have deteriorated at all.

How long does it take to install ducted heating?

It varies from house to house. Installation is influenced by a few different factors, including the size of the house, the brand you opt for, how many different heating units are required (large houses may require more than one) and the number of vents required. If modifications to the house are required, this may also lengthen the process. However, we can generally get your ducted gas heater installation up and running within a few weeks. The installation itself will usually only take about a day, but we’ll first do a detailed inspection and consult to determine the scope of work.

This work isn’t necessarily reduced if you’re replacing an existing system. Vents and ducts alike can sometimes be reused — but depending on the model of the heater, sometimes it’s necessary to replace them. Our team members will be able to talk you through the process.

Where should ducted heating vents be placed?

Vents can be installed in the walls, ceiling or floors of your home. Our team will be able to advise you on the best placement for your home, both for aesthetics and efficacy.

In terms of room placement, they’re generally best placed in the rooms that will be occupied most frequently, such as living rooms and bedrooms. This will help maximise the energy efficiency of your ducted gas heaters. After all, there’s no need to be heating rooms or thoroughfares that aren’t being used on a regular basis!

How many kW do I need for my ducted heating unit?

There’s a simple formula for determining how many kW are necessary for your home — just multiply the square metres by 130 watts. For example, if your home is 200m2, multiply it by 130 watts — this would mean that you need a 26kW unit. However, make sure you consult with our expert team before making any purchases. They’ll be able to discuss the most appropriate unit for your needs with you.

How much does it cost to install ducted gas heating?

The cost of installing ducted gas heating in Canberra can vary depending on several factors, including the space’s size, the installation’s complexity and any additional features or upgrades you choose.

WHY OPT FOR A SPLIT SYSTEM AIR CONDITIONING INSTALLATION IN CANBERRA?

There are a variety of reasons that you might opt for split system aircon installation. Our Canberra split system air conditioner installation cost can be substantially cheaper than investing in an entire ducted system, but there are other compelling reasons:

Useful for smaller homes — It’s particularly popular for apartments and small homes that may not have roof access and can’t fit a larger ducted system.
Temperature control of individual rooms — You may want each room in your home to act independently, to provide temperature control and on/off operation in every room. While this is achievable with ducted systems, that may not be a practical option for your home, depending on whether you have adequate roof or underfloor access.
Save money with temperature control — You may want to heat and cool a single living or central room in the house but not necessarily the rest of the home. Alternatively, you may want a cost-effective solution to provide heating and cooling throughout a smaller home. Split system air conditioners are far more energy-efficient than other air conditioners. They use less energy to cool a room, leading to major cost savings on energy bills.
Quiet operation — The indoor unit of a split system air conditioner is typically much quieter than other types of air conditioners. This is because the compressor, which is the noisiest component, is located outside.
Easy installation — Split system air cons are relatively easy to install, especially compared to central air conditioning systems. They do not require any ductwork or major modifications to the building structure.
Flexible placement — The indoor unit of a split system air conditioner can be mounted on a wall or ceiling, giving you more flexibility for the installation location. This makes them ideal for homes or buildings where space is limited.
Better air quality — Split system air conditioners come with filters that can remove dust, pollen and other allergens from the air, leading to improved air quality and a healthier indoor environment.

You want air purification built into your air conditioning system, which isn’t necessarily included as a default on ducted systems.

WHAT FEATURES DO YOU WANT IN YOUR SPLIT SYSTEM AIR CONDITIONING?

As Canberra has such variable weather throughout the year, when we undertake a split system air conditioning installation in Canberra, we only use reverse cycle split systems. These can heat and cool, maximising efficiency and ensuring you’re comfortable year-round. However, there are also other considerations when you’re choosing a split-system air conditioner:

Filters and air purification — If you suffer from asthma or allergies, you should consider a system that provides genuine air purification rather than just filtration.
Controls and Wi-Fi — Built-in timers and Wi-Fi control are increasingly popular choices for air conditioner controls. Timers allow you to preset when you’d like your air conditioner switched on, while Wi-Fi allows you remote access, letting you switch the air conditioner on and off whenever you want.
Aesthetically pleasing design — Given the large variety of brands and models available on the market, aesthetics should be a key part of your decision-making process. It’s easy to find a system that matches your interior decor and will enhance the look of the room it’s in.

MORE THAN ONE ROOM TO COOL?

When you look at how to install a split system, it’s easy to assume that it’s best suited to small houses or apartments with one centralised room. But in truth, multiple split systems can also be a great way to heat and cool your home, particularly if you want highly personalised control over different areas.

In these instances, a multi-head split system can be a perfect solution. A multi-head split system operates multiple indoor units inside from a single outdoor unit, minimising both exterior noise and the disruption to your outdoor space.

FAQS

WHAT ARE THE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS AND COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH SPLIT SYSTEMS?

Split or ductless air conditioning systems are generally easy to maintain and have lower maintenance costs than traditional central air conditioning systems. Here are some of the maintenance requirements and split system aircon costs you can expect from your unit:

Regular cleaning — The indoor and outdoor units of split systems should be cleaned regularly to remove dust and debris accumulating on the filters and coils. Simply wipe down the units with a damp cloth or use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust and debris.
Filter replacement — Replace the split system filters every few months, depending on how often the system is used, by contacting our service and repair team at Climate Plus.
Coil cleaning — The coils in split systems can get dirty over time, reducing efficiency. Regularly cleaning the coils will help the system run smoothly and prevent breakdowns.
Refrigerant levels — The refrigerant levels in split systems should be checked regularly to ensure their optimal functioning. Low refrigerant levels can lead to reduced cooling capacity and increased energy consumption, causing skyrocketing energy bills you certainly don’t need!

At Climate Master, we pride ourselves on offering highly efficient split-system air conditioners. For every unit (kW) of electricity used, our systems produce an average of 3-3.5 kW of heating or cooling.

The cost of filter replacement and regular cleaning is generally lower. However, if the system requires significant repairs or replacement of components, the cost can be higher. We strongly recommend that you budget for these potential expenses and consider the long-term savings in energy costs and improved comfort when deciding on a split system.
