Before diving into the specifics of electric ducted heating versus electric or gas heating, it’s important to consider the unique aspects of your situation. At Australian Climate Systems, we’re committed to helping you find the perfect heating solution based on:
With these considerations in mind, let’s explore the differences between electric ducted heating and electric or gas heating to give you a preliminary understanding of what each option offers.
| Factor | Electric Ducted Heating | Gas Ducted Heating |
|---|---|---|
| Initial Cost | Higher initial costs for the heating system, potentially offset by the use of solar panels for energy generation. | Typically lower initial costs for the unit and installation. |
| Running Costs | Can be significantly reduced if supplemented with solar energy, otherwise generally higher than gas. | Lower than electric heating without solar supplementation, due to the lower cost of gas. |
| Efficiency | High efficiency in converting electricity to heat; efficiency gains when using renewable energy sources. | Efficient in terms of heat output but inherently less efficient in energy use compared to electric heating. |
| Environmental Impact | Reduced carbon footprint when powered by renewable energy sources, including solar. | Higher emissions from burning natural gas, impacting carbon footprint. |
| Maintenance | Lower maintenance needs due to fewer moving parts and no combustion process. | Requires regular maintenance for safety and efficiency, including system checks and venting. |
| Installation | Installation complexity and costs can vary; simpler in properties already equipped with an electrical infrastructure. | Requires access to gas lines, potentially complicating installation in areas without existing infrastructure. |
| Lifespan | Typically longer lifespan due to less mechanical wear. | May have a shorter lifespan due to the mechanical wear and tear from combustion processes. |
| Heating Quality | Consistent and easily controlled heating, but effectiveness can vary based on the electricity source's reliability. | Known for quick and efficient heating, often providing a type of warmth considered more comfortable. |
| Safety | Generally considered safer due to the absence of combustion-related risks. | Risks associated with gas leaks and carbon monoxide, necessitating safety measures like detectors. |
After considering the information above, remember that the decision doesn’t have to be made alone. Australian Climate Systems is here to provide further clarity and guidance. We’ll help you:

“I had a few people coming from different companies to quote on the replacement of my mum's existing ducted heating system. I must say that Australian Climate systems sales who came to us was the most knowledgeable and he strongly recommended that we have the air return grille changed as per standard which the previous sales who came to my mum's premise didn't mention at all. Their installation worker came on schedule and worked with high efficiency. Satisfied customer.”
