Why Install Gas Ducted Heating?
What is Gas Ducted Heating?
Gas Ducted Heating, also known as Gas Central Heating, is a popular whole home heating solution for Geelong & Melbourne homes.
Gas Ducted heating is an energy-efficient and reliable way to heat your whole house.
Depending on the design of your house, the heater itself will reside in either your roof, under your floorboards or beside your house.
Attached to the heater is a series of ducts and vents which allow the warm air to flow through your home.
It is a popular heating choice in Melbourne & Geelong as it can heat all of your bedrooms and family rooms, plus gas heating has a certain cosy feel to it which is hard to beat.
Whether you have ducts and outlets in your floor or ceiling will depend on the design of your house.
In our online quote request form, we ask questions which help us determine if your heater needs to be in your ceiling, under the house or beside the house.
This in turn will determine if your ducts will come out of your ceiling or floor.
Gas Ducted Heaters come in different sizes (KW).
Kilowatt (KW) is how gas output is measured.
The size of your house will determine the size heater you need. Larger houses required a larger capacity Gas Ducted Heater.
It is very important to get the correct size heater for your house, ducts and return air grille. Incorrect sizing can lead to not enough warmth or backdrafts.

Gas Ducted Heaters come in a range of sizes and within those sizes are different star rated models ranging from 3 star – 6 star.
If low energy consumption and running costs are important to you, we would recommend a 5 or 6 star unit.
See how much you can save on our Gas Ducted Heater Star Rating comparison chart below.
Zoning is great for saving on running costs as you are only heating the rooms you currently need, plus its programmable, so it can automatically turn on and off at different periods.
For example, you might have your living areas as Zone A, which you heat during the day.
And bedrooms as Zone B which you heat during the night on a lower temperature. Want to know more about the ins and outs of Zoning?

There are different wall-mounted controllers for different budgets and feature requirements.
For those who like a simple on/off with fan and temperature control, there are basic manual controllers.
Programmable wall controllers such as Brivis’ NC6 allow for more control over your system and use of features such as WIFI, daily and weekly programs and allow you to controller other Brivis units such as Add On Cooler or Evaporative Cooler.
For technology fans, you can upgrade to a touchscreen such as Brivis’ NC7 touch.
Something we like about Brivis’ Gas Ducted heater is you can upgrade to Refrigerated Add On Cooling to cool your house to your desired temperature.
Let us know if you would ike to upgrade to Add on Cooling now or in the future as you will required ducts which are rated for both cooling and heating.
You can also install Evaporative Cooling to cool your whole house, but Evaporative Cooling has its own system of ducts.
