Gas Ducted Heating + Evaporative Cooling
Combine gas ducted heating with evaporative cooling for year-round comfort.
Discover how Coldflow designs and installs dual systems that suit Melbourne climates.
How does it work?
Evaporative cooling and gas ducted heating are two separate systems, but can both be placed under the same roof to provide heating and cooling. Please refer to the Gas Ducted Heating and Evaporative Cooling pages for more detailed information regarding each specific system.
Why have both systems?
The benefits of having both systems is that your house will have climate control year round (heating and cooling), without compromising on the quality of air coming into the house.
One Controller
You can have year round heating and cooling, typically using one controller – speak to our sales specialists for more details.
Energy Efficient
Evaporative coolers are one of the most efficient ways to cool your house as well as high rated (energy efficiency rating) gas heaters. With a combination of both, you are receiving the best heating and cooling option with the most value out of your investment.
Environmentally Friendly
Evaporative coolers do not contain any harmful refrigerants (unlike refrigerated air conditioning units), which means that the ozone layer is not harmed for the sake of your cooling needs. Some gas heaters are able to use natural gas which is a greener alternative to LPG.

Frequently Asked Questions About Gas Ducted Heating and Evaporative Cooling
How Do they Both Work?
How Does Gas Ducted Heating Work?
A ducted gas heating system is operated by drawing in air through a fan, and passed over to a heat exchanger to warm it. A return air vent (grille) recirculates air to the furnace, beginning the cycle again. The furnace (fueled by natural gas or LPG), which contains the heat exchanger, is usually installed in the roof space or just externally, but it can also be placed under the floor or even in internal cupboards if space is limited.
Ducting (which is connected to the heater/furnace) distributes the heated air throughout the home, and is usually hung/strapped within the ceiling space or under the floor.
Registers (also called 'grille', 'outlets' or 'vents'), situated in the floor, ceiling, or sometimes the wall, direct warm air into rooms. Heating outlets are best placed around the perimeter of the house, to provide an even heat distribution throughout your home.
How Does Evaporative Cooling Work?
Evaporative Cooling uses the natural cooling properties of water to lower the temperature of a room. A ducted cooling unit is installed on the roof and connected to a series of outlets placed throughout the home. The unit draws in fresh air from outside your house.
As the air passes through the filter pads (inside the roof unit), the air is cooled down and directed into every room in your house. The hotter the air, the better the cooling effect will be.
The entire volume of air within the house is refreshed every few minutes when using an Evaporative Cooler.
What are the running costs with gas ducted heating?
Our recommended gas ducted heating manufacture Braemar has the highest rating and reduction of running costs across all gas ducted heating brands here in Australia. Braemar has 5 Energy Star Ratings, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 star that is exclusive to Braemar.

Using a Braemar gas ducted heater you can save on average $198-$577 on running costs depending on the unit you have installed.
Annual running cost savings for gas ducted heating
*Data is based on: • Gas price = 1.6 c/MJ • House Size – 241 m2 x 2.4 m ceiling height • Operation hours per year • 600 hrs(100 days at 6 hrs per day) – based on AS4556-2011. House Heat load – 0.2 MJ/h/m3 – based on AS4556-2011 • Annual Energy Consumption(AEC) for different star rated heaters based on AS4556-2011. 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 star rated ducted gas heating systems.

ANGELA M.
RINGWOOD
We'd highly recommend the team from Coldflow. Great communication, prompt and efficient installation and also great advice regarding the removal of our old gas wall heater. Not something we had considered but well worth it with the government rebate which we hadn't known about. Absolutely love our new Daikin unit too! Thanks coldflow.??

Coldflow recently removed our gas ducted heating and it replaced with a reverse cycle air conditioner. The process from quote to installation was simple and quick! Communication in the lead up to and on the day of installation was terrific. They also tidied up after themselves! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Coldflow to family and friends.
Madeleine L.

Prompt and good communication in letting customers know when they are about to arrive. They do and communicate what was done in service. Any questions are answered and I like the professionalism of turning up in a company named work vehicle and uniform. Also the payment method is trusted with a receipt on the email

NARRE WARREN SOUTH
We would have liked to be given the option whether to have the smelly chemicals sprayed in the split systems, as the smell lasted for over a week and we would have opted not to have that. Otherwise we are very happy with the overall service and communication from the technician.
LAUREN C.

Very glad and relieved I chose Coldflow. Your installer Murray arrived at 7am Monday 21st, was quickly to work with a minimum of fuss. Old Brivis unit and new Braermar unit out and in through the roof. All over by 9am. He showed us how to use the Braemar control unit before leaving. Great job.

Darren Story was very helpful with the initial site visit, he explained clearly how the installation would run, and gave us the options. Ash and his team did a highly professional job with the installation, and I am thankful that they wore masks as my mum was home recovering from surgery. A brilliant job all round, thank you very much.

The installers were exceptionally good. Understood the fragility of my ceiling and dealt with my threatening neighbour when they climbed on the roof on my side. The technician also gave me advice on how to keep the filters healthy and what setting to use. Thanks Coldflow.
JULIE D.
HAWTHORN
Every step of the process was first class and professional. You did what you said you were going to do, on the days that you promised and the installation was like swiss clockwork. Best service experience I have had in the last 5 years. Special shout out to Shanon who organised superbly from day one.
DARYL K.

This my third dealing with Coldflow (3 different properties). Their response times are quick and they make the process extremely easy. The sales person is professional, responsive and easy to deal with. The installers took care, were polite and very easy to deal with.

ASCOT VALE
it was a rather difficult installation but both the A/C installers and the electricians did well. i am annoyed that I missed out on the Mitsubishi Bonus Gift Card worth up to $400 due to the impossibility of accessing the Mitsubishi website which required a Pin which could not be found anywhere. Very poor.
EMILE R.
MALVERN EAST
Very likely, your team arrived on time. They worked quickly and efficiently, plus they were very friendly. They left our house as they found it , clean and tidy. Just one thing they left behind a piece of equipment which I'm sure they can use. It is no use to us, so it would be a shame to throw it out. Many Thanks.

I had not dealt with Coldflow until very recently. In a two week period I have dealt with service, sale and installation personnel. All of them were extremely pleasant to deal with, very helpful and efficient - great customer service makes happy customers :)
WENDY L.

The two technicians were well mannered, presented well as representative of your company and did a good job explaining what they had done in terms of the service of our gas heater. They were polite, arrived when they said they would which is important given we work form home and have work commitments. Great ambassadors for your company.

Overall very satisfied. Quick to come out to quote, gave various alternatives and recommendations. Installers were very efficient installing four units in a few hours without leaving a mess and units are positioned nicely. Also much more competitive offer than another couple of quotes I received.

I just had my two units installed. Please pass on my thanks to Jared Wates, who provided the quote, and the team that installed the systems today. The installation team worked really hard, double-checked, if not triple-checked, and certainly made sure things were clean when they left. A very professional and courteous team.

Relatively minor problem. Serge took due diligence and checked whole unit. May need a new stop valve in future. He explained how how well our 19yo unit is functioning and gave us thoughts on future possibilities. Obviously a very experienced technician and a real gentleman.

I have always had very good service from Coldflow in the past and now at present and I would thoroughly recommend them to everyone who has airconditioning. As our house is relatively new at present, we are waiting to hear from the builders if our system is still under warranty, if it isnt we will certainly get back to you again.
LINDA F.

Very happy with the whole process. All were knowledgeable and professional and turned up on time. They also worked through some pretty wet cold and windy weather but just got on with the job.

Rang for a service on the existing gas ducted heating system to find the system had died. A quote for a new system was provided on the day and installed the next day. The installation team were excellent, providing great advice and support during the installation. Sincere thank you to all.
TINA M.
TEMPLESTOWE
Ray did an excellent job. As it turned out, the error that caused the problem was cleared when the power was off after the storm, but he still made sure the system was working properly by doing a really thorough check of everything. Very helpful, professional and clearly very keen to make sure the job was done properly. Great work!
ANDREW R.
MULGRAVE
I was very happy with this companies service. I had a lot of appointments and they made a time that suited. They even showed me how to use the ducted heating system to as an air conditioning ducted system as I only have an air con in the lounge room. I was very impressed.
DANIELLE D.

Organised for the team to come out and assess the in laws heating and cooling. There were 6 systems in total. All were checked and reports received. Services conducted on the systems worth keeping and advice given re the others, allowing informed decisions to be made. Highly recommended.

STEVEN crcic IS THE man !!!!! I have never had a better service in my life my girlfriend and I are so stoked he got the fan in the other room working. He was professional caring and overall a champion. Give the brother a few weeks paid time off and a raise and a promotion. 10/10 can't recommend enough
MARCUS K.

Darren Storey - Professional, knowledgeable, easy to deal with. Adam scheduled the installation promptly and then it happened a week earlier - great.
