What is it ducted heating?

Ducted central heating comprises a central heating unit, which is connected to a series of outlets. Positioned strategically throughout your home, these outlets, or ducts, are installed either in the floor or ceiling. Positioning of the heating unit depends on your house. If your house is built on a concrete slab, the unit is installed in the roof. If it has space underneath or a very low roof line, the unit is installed outside or under the floor. The ductwork, which connects the outlets to the heating unit, is neatly tucked away out of sight.

Ducted heating

Ducted heating is a long term investment so before you even begin looking at the different types of heating available, there are a few things you should consider. Will you be at the property for a short or long period of time? Will any future lifestyle changes affect your heating needs? Do I require the entire house to be heated? We encourage you to think ahead, and purchase a ducted heating system that fulfills your current needs as well as your future ones. And keep in mind that a good ducted heating system increases the value of your home. The money you spend now is sure to pay off later.

Ducted heating is without a doubt the most efficient way to heat your entire house. If you're using a space heater or a reverse cycle air conditioner, the cost to heat only one room is approximately $98 per quarter. But with gas ducted heating, you can heat your entire home for less than $200 a quarter (if you use zoning and high efficiency heating).
