Ducted Heating

What is Ducted Heating?

Ducted heating, also known as ducted gas heating, draws air from an indoor space where it passes through a heat exchanger.

The air is then warmed and distributed throughout the entire house, via a series of ductwork and ceiling vents.

Some ducted gas heating systems provide zoning capabilities, which allow you to adjust airflow and regulate temperature specifically for individual rooms from just one system.

So, if the occupant of one room wants warm air, they can enjoy that without affecting the comfort of others in the house.

This makes a ducted gas heater unit a highly suitable whole-house heating solution for a variety of homes; one that offers versatility, energy efficiency and user-friendly operation. One that Metropolitan Heating and Cooling is more than happy to assist you with.

Benefits of Switching to a Ducted Heating System

Ducted heating offers a reliable and efficient way to keep your whole home warm during those chilly months. Unlike split systems or an unflued gas heater, gas ducted heaters provide consistent central heating through vents in the floor or ceiling.

By burning natural gas, the system heats air in an outdoor unit and distributes it evenly throughout your home. This results in faster warmth and lower energy consumption compared to other heating options.

A low temperature radiator can also be integrated into some systems for gentle, even heat. Unlike using an air conditioner in reverse cycle mode, ducted heating is purpose-built for comfort in winter. And most importantly, installation and servicing should always be done by a qualified gas fitter to ensure safety and performance.

Whether you're upgrading or building new, ducted heating is a cost-effective and comfortable solution for modern living.

Advantages of a Gas Ducted Heating System

Among the most common reasons homeowners choose gas ducted heating over other heating options is flexibility and control.

You can quickly heat the whole home or just a single room and set a personalised temperature for each one. As a result, you keep everyone happy, avoiding unwanted arguments with the family.

So, if versatility and complete control over your heating system is important, this could be the system for you.

Another bonus is the whole range of economic and environmental benefits. Firstly, you'll save money on energy bills as natural gas is far cheaper than electricity. Secondly, your carbon footprint lowers considerably.
