Ducted Gas Heating/ Add-On Cooling

This is a gas appliance that heats air and transmits it via ductwork to floor or ceiling vents. This air does not contact or mix with the exhaust from the appliance, which is taken outside by a flue. Since the heat is produced by combustion, it is generated near instantaneously even in Canberra’s lowest temperatures. The appliance can be put underfloor, in the ceiling or on an exterior wall. The gas ducted heating system will have at least one thermostat indoors to set the temperature that’s needed. If it has more than one thermostat it can be zoned.

Zoning is when you have an automatic zone damper in the ductwork to open or close off zones of your home (a zone may be a room or a group of rooms). This lets you heat or cool some parts of your house while not heating or cooling others. You can also set the zones to heat to different temperatures. Whether you want zoning as part of a new ducted gas heater installation or want zoning for an existing ducted system, Climatrol can help!

Currently, Braemar ducted gas heaters run on either natural gas or LPG. However, Braemar engineers have already created a prototype heater that is compatible with running on 100% hydrogen. The only product of hydrogen combustion is water. But before Australian gas networks move to 100% hydrogen, they will be blending hydrogen with natural gas. This blending is expected to be rolled out to various gas networks within the next five to ten years. And Braemar will be ready for the transition – Braemar heaters will be able to run effectively and efficiently on hydrogen/natural gas blends that are industry approved at the heater’s time of manufacture.
