How Does Gas Ducted Heating Work?
Gas ducted heating is a common type of central heating that can be found in homes all over the world. The basic operating principles of the systems themselves are simple, consisting of a central heating unit that is attached to a series of ductwork concealed in the ceiling or under floor. The heating unit draws in air from your home, passes it over a heat exchanger, and then returns the heated air into your home through the ducts and out of the outlets. Gas ducted heaters are a flexible option, with heating units able to be installed in the ceiling, under your home or in a protected area outside.
Ducted gas heating options offer sleek and efficient heating for your entire house. The ducting can be used to section off each room or to create zones within the house, meaning you only need to heat the areas you want to use. The system is perfect for a climate like Adelaide’s where winter temperatures see the mercury dropping for months at a time. Learn more in our Guide to Gas Ducted Heating article.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is gas ducted heating?
Ducted gas heating is a type of heater that is designed to heat large areas or a whole house. The system is powered by a central heating unit that burns gas to create heat. That heat is then distributed throughout the house using ductwork concealed in the ceiling or underfloor.
Is gas ducted heating energy efficient?
Ducted gas heating is more energy-efficient than electric heating systems. Burning gas is a very efficient way to create heat. It also generates 50-60% fewer emissions than electric appliances do.
Is gas heating cheaper than electric?
Burning gas is highly efficient, which means gas heaters are typically cheaper to run than electric heaters. The efficient burning process and cost of natural gas makes gas ducted heating a very affordable option
Does gas ducted heating use electricity?
Gas ducted heaters use small amounts of electricity to heat your home. Most gas ducted heating systems use electric blower motors to distribute warm air throughout your house.
In addition, some gas ducted heaters use electric ignition to control heating cycles. The electricity used by a gas ducted heater won’t add significantly to your power bills.
Is gas ducted heating safe?
Gas ducted heating is one of the safest heating options on the market. With heat being ducted throughout the house, there is minimal risk of anyone being hurt by open flames or exposed heater elements, like with fireplaces and electric heaters.
What are the benefits of gas ducted heating?
Gas ducted heating offers major benefits, like energy efficiency, saving money on your power bills and instant heating throughout the house. As one of the most efficient types of heating available, gas ducted heaters are a great choice for most homes.
Is a gas ducted heating system expensive to install?
You can expect to pay anywhere from $3,000 to $10,000 to install a gas ducted heating system in your home. The actual cost of the system depends on the size of your home, the number of zones and vents included, and how powerful the system is.
While gas ducted heating can be a big investment, it offers long-term savings over alternatives like electric heating. Gas ducted heating consumes natural gas or LPG, and it is more energy-efficient than electric heating, meaning your ongoing and maintenance costs are low.
Ceiling or floor – where should I install my ducts and vents?
Gas ducted heating vents are typically installed in the ceiling, although you may want to opt for floor vents in colder climates. Where you install your gas ducted heating vents depends on the design of your home, the local weather and your heating and cooling needs.
The biggest thing to consider is whether you have space in the ceiling or under the floor to install ductwork. Gas ducted heaters typically use relatively small ducts that are easiest to install in the ceiling. On the other hand, not all homes have a floor structure that allows ducts to be installed once construction is complete.
If you need gas ducted heating ducts in the floor you’ll need to speak to your installer about whether that’s possible on your property.
How long does it take to install a gas ducted heating system?
An experienced team can install a gas ducted heating system in a single day. You can expect the installation process to take longer if you have a large home or are installing additional heating outlets throughout the house.
How often should a gas ducted heater be serviced?
Gas ducted heaters should be serviced at least once per year to keep them clean and ensure everything is in working order. Ideally you should have your heating system serviced before winter begins.
During your service appointment your technician will check the safety systems and other components of your gas ducted heater, clean the air filter and make sure the thermostat is working properly. These simple maintenance items can extend the life of your system and drastically reduce the chance of a system failure, saving you money in the long run.
