Brailsford Plumbing: Your Ducted Heating Specialist
Whether you need your current system serviced or repaired, or a new one installed, no job is too big or small for our team.

Ducted heating is a system that draws air from an indoor space and passes it through a heat exchanger. The air is warmed and then distributed throughout the home via ductwork and vents in the ceiling or flooring. This system can be zoned to allow for customized temperatures and flow rates in different rooms, making it a versatile heating solution suitable for a variety of homes and climates.

It’s essential to have any air conditioning system, including ducted systems, serviced regularly. Preventative maintenance helps avoid major repairs in the future and ensures that your system operates efficiently. At Brailsford Plumbing, we work with all the leading brands in ducted heating, from Braemar ducted gas heating to Vulcan ducted heating, so we can assist you no matter your system.

When performing a service, our qualified technicians will:

• Test carbon monoxide levels
• Test the thermostat
• Clean air filters to ensure air purity
• Check gas pressures and connections
• Inspect ductwork in the roof space
• Ensure there is no debris restricting airflow
• Verify that all internal parts are in good working order

Our experts can recommend the best brands and the ideal energy ratings for your home. With our help, you’ll have climate control of the entire house and notice the difference in your energy bills.

Before deciding on a ducted heating system, it’s essential to understand the different types available:

• Gas Ducted Heating: This common option uses natural gas to heat the air, which is then distributed throughout your home via ducts and vents. It is energy-efficient and provides quick, even heating.
• Reverse Cycle Ducted Heating: Also known as ducted air conditioning or heat pumps, these systems can both cool and heat your home. They work by extracting heat from the outside air (even in cold weather) and distributing it inside. This type of system is energy-efficient and versatile.
• Hydronic Ducted Heating: This system circulates hot water through pipes under the floor or in wall panels, radiating heat from these surfaces. Hydronic heating is known for its energy efficiency and is allergy-friendly.
• Electric Ducted Heating: These systems use electric heating elements to warm the air. They are straightforward and easy to install but can be less energy-efficient and more expensive to operate compared to gas or reverse cycle options.

Choosing the right type of ducted heating system depends on your specific needs, budget, and climate. Consider factors like energy efficiency, installation costs, running costs, and long-term savings when making your decision.

Your choice between electric and ducted gas heaters comes down to personal preference. While ducted gas heating is generally favored for its energy efficiency and cost-effectiveness, both options are energy efficient once the ductwork is done and the system is installed. All systems can use next-generation controllers and connect to Wi-Fi for whole-home control.

A ducted heating system can significantly improve your home comfort, offering a range of benefits:

• Consistent Comfort: Ducted systems provide even warmth throughout your home, eliminating cold spots.
• Energy Efficiency: Zoning capabilities allow you to heat only the rooms you’re using, reducing energy wastage and saving money on bills.
• Cleaner Air: Ducted systems often come with air filters that trap dust, allergens, and pollutants, circulating cleaner air in your home.
• Space-Saving: Ducted systems are discreet and don’t take up valuable room space.
• Convenience: Modern systems can be controlled remotely through smart thermostats or apps, allowing you to adjust the temperature from your phone.
• Increased Home Value: Installing a ducted heating system can boost your home’s value, making it more appealing to potential buyers.
• Heating and Cooling: Reverse cycle ducted systems offer both heating and cooling, providing year-round comfort.
