Australia’s cooler climates have long enjoyed the warmth and benefits of gas ducted heating. Gas ducted heating draws in air through a centrally located return air grille to a gas ducted heater (such as: Brivis, Braemar, Lennox, Vulcan, Stadt, Omgea). The gas ducted heater warms the air up and distributes it through ducts located on the perimeter of the home in each room. There are many things to consider before purchasing a ducted heating system.

The energy rating label shown to the left basically shows the number of stars to show the efficiency of an appliance – in this case a gas ducted heater. The more stars shown on the label the more energy efficient the heater. The more energy efficient the heater, the lower the running costs will be along with less greenhouse gas emissions. Generally a high star rating model will cost more to purchase initially however the savings on your gas bill can make up the difference in just a few years.

Gas Ducted Heating – Zoning – Most ducted heating systems today have the option of being zoned. This means that the living areas can be heated during the day whilst the sleeping areas are off. Then later in the evening you can open up the sleeping zone and have the whole home heated. Then perhaps during the night just the sleeping areas can remain heated should you wish. You can save hundreds of dollars a year by having a gas ducted heating system that is zoned.

Brivis Ducted Heating – How Does it Work? – The brivis ducted as heater unit draws air from inside your home through a centrally located return air grille. This grille should be fitted with a filter and cleaned every few weeks. If a return air filter is installed this will greatly reduce any dust from being blown and circulated around the home. Once the air reaches the gas ducted heater it is warmed and then delivered to every room of your house via ducts/vents/outlets. Once the temperature inside your home reaches the temperature you desire the burners on the gas ducted heater will turn off. The fan will slow down so that any left over heat in the system is still delivered and not wasted.

Sure an airconditioner is the coolest way to go – but it really isn’t practical for a number of reasons. First and foremost is the cost – a ducted air conditioning system is going to cost tens of thousands of dollars to cool your workplace, not to mention the running costs will be huge. Ducted airconditioning is also impractical for most work places as many have large roller doors that need to be open – it would be like driving in your car, air con on and the windows down – it’s no point!

So forget about ducted air conditioning. Consider an evaporative cooling system otherwise known as water cooling and evap cooling. First benefit of an evaporative cooling system is the running costs – they use at least 75% less energy than a ducted air con system. Evaporative cooling is also friendly on the environment as no harmful gases are used or released.

So evaporative cooling is cheaper to run and more cost efficient to purchase – but that’s not all. Evaporative cooling systems have many more benefits over a ducted air conditioning system. Evaporative cooling actually lowers the temperature by introducing fresh, cool air at a rate of some 2000 litres per second on average. This means that the roller doors and windows must be left open for it to work properly! Evaporative cooling systems are generally installed within a day without any alterations to the buildings structure. Unlike a water cooling tower, evaporative cooling systems do not require any chemicals as the water is constantly evaporated and replaced with fresh clean water automatically.

There are so many benefits to having an evaporative cooling system installed in your workplace. Surely the boss would appreciate less ‘sick days’ (read ‘beach days’) and increased productivity because everyone is working in a comfortable environment.
