Ducted gas heating in Melbourne homes
Most Melbourne homes built or renovated between 1990 and 2015 run ducted gas heating: a Brivis, Braemar or Bonaire heater in the roof or under the floor feeding every room. They are reliable but they age. Ignition modules, fan motors and heat exchangers wear, and a cracked heat exchanger can push carbon monoxide into the house, which is why Energy Safe Victoria recommends a service with a CO test every two years. Past 15 years, replacement with ducted reverse cycle, helped by a VEU rebate, is often the better spend.
Brands we work on: Brivis, Braemar, Bonaire, Rinnai, Lennox, Vulcan, Pyrox.
Signs you need a technician
- Heater fires up then shuts down
- Fan runs but the air is cold
- Clicking or repeated ignition attempts
- Burning or gas smell when it starts
- Headaches or drowsiness when the heater runs (stop using it and call)
- Error code on the thermostat or controller
When to replace instead of repair
A heater past 15 years that needs a heat exchanger, gas valve or control board is almost always worth replacing. With gas prices rising and VEU rebates on gas-to-electric upgrades, a ducted reverse cycle system usually costs less to run from the first winter.
Replacement optionsCommon questions
How often should a gas heater be serviced?
Every two years, yearly once it is over ten years old. The carbon monoxide test is the important part.
Is carbon monoxide testing included?
Yes, in every ducted heating service, with a written certificate.
Should I replace gas with electric?
If your heater is over 15 years old, probably. Reverse cycle costs less to run in Melbourne and VEU rebates cut the install price. We'll show you both numbers.
Can you repair old Brivis and Braemar units?
Yes, parts are still available for most models from the last 20 years.
