How often should gas ducted heating be serviced?

Energy Safe Victoria recommends gas heaters are serviced at least every two years by a licensed gasfitter. Many manufacturers recommend yearly servicing, and skipping it can affect your warranty. Every service we do includes a carbon monoxide safety test.

Why is carbon monoxide testing important?

Carbon monoxide has no smell or colour. A cracked heat exchanger or blocked flue can let it into the house without any warning signs. Testing is the only way to know, which is why we do it on every heating job.

Do you repair all ducted heating brands?

Yes, we repair and service the major ducted heating brands found in Melbourne homes, including Braemar, Rinnai and Bonaire.

How long does a new ducted heating installation take?

Most standard home installs take one to two days. We'll give you the timeline and a fixed price on the quote, after a site inspection.

Should I replace my gas ducted heater with reverse cycle?

It depends on your home, your energy costs and whether you also want cooling. Reverse cycle heats and cools from one system and runs on electricity. We'll quote both options so you can compare running and upfront costs.

Ducted heating is still the most common way Melbourne homes stay warm through winter — one system, every room, controlled from a single thermostat. When it's working properly you forget it's there. When it isn't, it's usually on the coldest night of the year.

REPAIR, SERVICE OR REPLACE?

Book a service if your heater hasn't been looked at in two years, smells dusty or burnt when it starts up, or is taking longer to warm the house. Energy Safe Victoria recommends gas heaters are serviced at least every two years, and many manufacturers ask for yearly servicing to keep the warranty valid.

Book a repair if the heater runs but blows cold air, keeps shutting off, shows a fault code, or won't start. Before you call, check the thermostat settings, make sure the return air filter isn't blocked and that the gas is on — our five-step checklist walks you through it.

Consider replacement if the unit is 15–20 years old, needs repeat repairs, or a technician finds a cracked heat exchanger (which can leak carbon monoxide). A newer, efficient unit can cost noticeably less to run, and we'll give you a fixed price for both options so you can compare.

Thinking about going electric? We also install reverse cycle ducted systems that heat and cool from one unit. See our reverse cycle air conditioning page.
