Gas Ducted Heating + Evaporative Cooling
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. (7 Star rating equivalent is based on Australian Gas Association’s results calculated in accordance with the testing methodology in AS4556-2011.)
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.

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.

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.

The young guy was very polite, knew what he had to do , and told me what he HAD done. BTW , I was the one that organized many of Braemar heaters to be installed here in my village. ( Waterford Valley Lakes) I would have thought that you would have organized ALL the other ones to be serviced at the same time as they are the same age.

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.

Team did a great job, install team had to vary the installation location of parts, access etc, vs. communicated during the sales process. This is fine, just a note that worth getting feedback from your install team to your sales team to help future customer comms. The team kept the site clean and took away all rubbish which was great

Ray did an excellent job.

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.
