What Is Ducted Heating System?
Ducted heating is a central heating system that uses a gas-powered unit to generate warm air, which is then distributed throughout your home or building via a series of ducts and vents. These ducts are typically installed in the ceiling or under the floor, depending on the available space and layout of the property.
This type of heating system is designed to keep the entire space consistently warm, making it a popular choice for Melbourne homes and businesses during the colder months. Unlike portable heaters, ducted heating provides whole-house comfort from a single, efficient unit all controlled with a thermostat for easy temperature management.
Benefits of heating with natural gas
Energy efficiency made easy
In Australia, there is an Energy Rating Labelling scheme to help customers choose energy efficient appliances
More stars, more savings
The higher the number of stars, the more efficient the appliance, meaning greater annual savings on your running costs.
One star = 10% saving3
On average an increase of one star means an average usage saving of approximately 10%.
Highest star rating
Braemar has developed heaters that measure at a higher efficiency than the maximum 6 star rating stated by the Australian Standard.
7 Star equivalent4 explained
Braemar has developed heaters that measure at a higher efficiency than the maximum 6 star rating stated by the Australian Standard.
Independently tested
All Braemar ducted gas heaters have been independently tested in an AGA NATA accredited testing laboratory.

Replacing your old heating system?
Replace your old heater and SAVE!
Throughout the cooler months, it is vital for the health of you and your loved ones to have a consistent warm, comfortable environment. Ducted gas heating offers a reliable, comfortable, instant and constant heat.
If you are undertaking a renovation, or have an older inefficient system, there are many compelling reasons to stay with, or change to, ducted gas heating. Ducted gas heating has advanced considerably in the last 20 years, providing significant efficiency savings and performance improvements. Replacing an old system with a new Braemar ducted gas heating solution can deliver you significant savings on your energy bills.
Ducted gas heating vS reverse cycle heating
Ducted gas heating provides many advantages over reverse cycle:
- Ducted gas heating offers an instant, cosy heat with less drying of the air. Reverse cycle air conditioning tends to produce dry air that can irritate the eyes, nose and skin.
- Running cost savings.
- Warms your whole home quickly by producing much warmer air temperatures from your outlets than reverse cycle.
- Most ducted gas heaters are quieter as they are mounted in the roof space, out of sight and without troublesome noise for you or your neighbours.
- Ducted gas heating operates independently of how cold it gets outside and therefore provides constant, cosy performance at all times.
- Whole of home heating with flexible zoning options.
- Natural gas heating produces fewer greenhouse gas emissions than reverse cycle7.
Cost effective
Savings of $365 per year when compared to reverse cycle3
Better performance
When the outside temperature drops, reverse cycle works less efficiently while ducted gas remains steady.
Instant warmth
Ducted gas reaches desired temperature much faster than reverse cycle.
Comfortable air
Ducted gas heating won't dry your skin and eyes. It's a different kind of cosy warmth.

Renewable, clean, green hydrogen… The future of home heating
Australians love natural gas. Almost half of all household energy in Australia is provided by gas19. It’s a reliable, cost-effective energy for the appliances we use for cooking, heating and hot water. The great news is there are changes afoot with plans to rollout green hydrogen into the supply chain to households.
When used as a fuel, hydrogen’s only by-product is water. This flexible, safe and storable fuel can be used to blend with or replace natural gas to heat homes and for cooking. It produces no carbon emissions when used as a fuel.
Hydrogen is also hugely versatile and has many other uses in industry and transport, all of which will bring us closer to a net zero emissions future, right here in Australia.
What’s exciting is that hydrogen blended with natural gas is the first step to this zero emissions future in Australia and it is currently being trialed in selected communities across Australia by leading gas suppliers. Importantly it will be rolled out into various gas networks within the next 5 to 10 years.
At SE Heating, we have been working with leading industry authorities to ensure our gas heating products are “hydrogen-ready”, to perform at their best using hydrogen blends to provide the same cosy warmth and whole of home comfort that millions of Australians expect and have been experiencing every winter with Braemar, for generations.
So, when clean and green, renewable hydrogen gas blends are available in your neighbourhood in the near future, you can be assured that your Braemar gas heating system will perform at its best and is compliant with all Australian Safety Standards and regulations.
