If just the thought of waking up to a cold home on a crisp winter morning gives you the chills a ducted gas heater may be the best heating solution for you.
With a ducted heating system you can enjoy instant, consistent and reliable heat throughout your entire home. Plus it is cleaner than most heat sources and friendlier to your budget too, with the cost of installation offset by energy savings within a few years.
Choosing what type of heating to use in your home is a big decision whether you’re designing a new home or looking to replace an old heating system. Below we have outlined some of the benefits of a ducted gas heating system for your consideration when determining the best choice to keep you warm and cosy.
Heats your home faster
Ducted gas furnaces heat homes faster than other types of heaters which is definitely a major plus for keeping your home nice and cosy during the cold winter months. Gas furnaces provide almost instantaneous, even warmth throughout as they reach maximum temperature as soon as the burners begin running. Whilst a reverse cycle system loses efficiency as the weather gets colder, a ducted gas system keeps the home warm irrespective of how cold it gets outside
Cost-effective
An excellent advantage of natural gas heaters is their cost effectiveness. Ducted systems use less fuel than other heating systems and use natural gas instead of electricity. Whilst we have seen price rises in all sources of energy, gas remains the cheaper alternative.
Ducted heating systems allow you to zone your home so you can further reduce costs by only heating the rooms or areas that you inhabit at certain times of the day, plus you can also ensure greater comfort for your entire family by controlling the temperature in each room to their liking.
Better for the environment
A gas heating system is much better than other alternative fossil fuels like coal and oil and also produces 30% less carbon dioxide than burning wood. Its emissions consist of mostly water vapor and small amounts of carbon dioxide making gas the much better choice for the environment. When oil is burned, it produces double the amount of carbon dioxide, which harms the environment more so than gas. In addition, gas does not emit any sulfur, which also assists in its efficiency as well as making it the greener alternative.
More versatile
Gas furnaces are more versatile as a newly installed gas furnace can connect with your home’s existing HVAC system. They can be installed in new buildings or retrofitted into existing buildings with ease as the ductwork can be installed through the ceiling space..
Plus you can pair your heating system with an add-on cooling feature, allowing you to switch to cool filtered air in summer.
Safer for your family
Ducted gas heaters don’t have any exposed coils or other elements that can cause accidental fires, heating units are sealed to contain gasses and the flames are contained within the unit so there is no risk of a house fire. They also come with a fan delay feature ensuring that all by-products of combustion are safely pushed out of your home before the fan switches off.
They are also kinder on your eyes and skin as the heat they produce is moist compared to other heat sources like wood or reverse cycle systems whose drying effects have been known to cause eye and skin irritation.
More Desirable
A ducted gas heating system is a great investment. Natural gas is cheaper than electricity, and it burns quicker and hotter ensuring you stay warm regardless of the outside temperature. Ducted gas heating is cost effective, better for the environment, more versatile and reliable, making it one of the most popular choices across the country.
