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:

Melbourne is known for its extreme heat spells. Combat the summer heat with one of our effective cooling systems. Choose from central cooling, ducted evaporative air conditioning, hi-wall split systems, multi split systems, refrigerated cooling systems, and add on cooling. Australian Climate Systems will find the right cooling solution for you, offering repair, service and installation in Camberwell and nearby
Ducted evaporative air conditioning is a cost-effective and eco-friendly cooling option. The system suits homes with open spaces so it can circulate the air efficiently. Ducted cooling is also ideal for those who suffer from asthma and hay-fever. This is because evaporative cooling replaces old stale air with clean, fresh air each cycle, so it gets rid of unwanted dust particles.
Hi-Wall Split Systems give you excellent control and comfort during the summer heat. We have a broad range of hi-wall split systems from big brands like ActronAir, Daikin and Panasonic, so you’re guaranteed the highest quality air conditioning.
Multi split systems are perfect for homes where there is limited outdoor space. One unit can power up to five indoor systems. Having one external unit means you’ll have a system that runs quietly as well as giving you more outdoor space for other activities. Keep everyone in the household or office space cool during summer with a robust multi-split system.
Unlike other cooling systems that focus on specific rooms, a ducted refrigerated system adjusts the temperature of your whole home or office. This gives you the power to set your entire house to your desired temperature, as well as zoning out different areas for varied comfort. Some of the trusted brands of ducted refrigerated systems we install are Daikin, Actron, Brivis and Samsung.
Already have a gas ducted heating system but want year-round comfort? Add-on cooling systems attach to your current gas heating system so you can also run a refrigerated air conditioning system alongside it. This provides a complete heating and cooling system in Camberwell! Add-on cooling is a great summer heat solution that provides cold, filtered and dehumidified air for your home without compromising your current ductwork.
Winters in Melbourne are harsh and fickle. Stay warm with one of our heating systems. We have everything from ducted, hydronic, outdoor, electric panel and gas central heating. Our friendly staff will get you the perfect heating service for your home or office.
Gas central heating is a reliable and comfortable heating solution during winter’s cool weather. Gas ducted heating gives off the feeling of natural warmth and maintains heat long after being turned off. Gas is also more cost-effective than electric heating. Stay warm this winter and save money along the way.
Add a little romance to your room. Get cosy and set the mood with gas log fire heating. Gas log fires are a stylish heating solution. This heating solution warms the area in a sufficient manner. Australian Climate Systems’ range of gas log fires includes the Cannon range. These heating systems can be both inbuilt or freestanding to suit the interior design of your home.
Gas space heaters represent an efficient heating system that fits any room in the home or office. We have a variety of gas space heaters at Australian Climate Systems. This includes the Braemar range. Their 4.8 energy star rating provides cost-effective and eco-friendly heating.
Hydronic heating is a modern heating system for the home and office. Hydronic heating uses thermostat technology. The system recirculates hot water via panels or in-slab to keep out cold air. Hydronic heaters are allergy-friendly, silent, and safe to touch. The system boils water instead of circulating air, therefore, dust particles aren’t spread in the room. This also allows the heating system to run quietly so you can enjoy the warmth in silence.
Stay warm outside with our range of outdoor heating. Australian Climate Systems have a variety of radiant heat strips to suit your home or business. Outdoor heating suits undercover spaces such as smoking areas, alfresco dining, patios, balconies, or sidewalk cafes.
Electric panel heating is a flexible heating solution that suits smaller areas. Panel heaters are easy to operate. They are lightweight and can be portable or permanent fixtures. Electric panel heaters are either attached to a wall or ceiling. Electric panel heaters are also cost-efficient and require little maintenance.

“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.”
