Gas Ducted Heating Melbourne
Supply, Installation, Service & Repairs
Gas Ducted Heating is a ducted heating system that is situated either in your roof or under your floor (depending on available space for the system). As the name suggests, it uses gas to produce heat which is then distributed throughout your whole home.
Ducted gas heating is one of the most popular type of heating systems used within Melbourne.
A ducted gas heating system is operated by passing cold air over a heat exchanger; the air is then warmed through gas combustion & then distributed and pushed throughout the home via a series of ducts, with connecting vents in the ceiling or floor.
Registers (also called ‘grilles’, ‘outlets’ or ‘vents’), situated in the floor or ceiling, 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.
