Before deciding on your next air conditioner system, it’s important to consider the unique aspects of your situation. At Australian Climate Systems, we’re committed to helping you find the perfect cooling solution in Yarra Glen based on:
With these considerations in mind, let’s start by exploring the differences between electric ducted cooling and gas ducted cooling to give you a preliminary understanding of what each option offers.
| Factor | Electric Ducted Air Con | Gas Ducted Air Con |
|---|---|---|
| Initial Cost | Higher initial costs for the 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 air con without solar supplementation, due to the lower cost of gas. |
| Efficiency | High efficiency in converting electricity to heat or cold; efficiency gains when using renewable energy sources. | Efficient in terms of temperature 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. |
| Cooling Quality | Consistent and easily controlled temperatures, but effectiveness can vary based on the electricity source’s reliability. | Known for quick and efficient heating and cooling, often providing a type of warmth or cold 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. |
While gas ducted is a popular option, there are plenty more, and 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.”
