Ducted Systems
Whole-home ducted heating delivers consistent warmth throughout your property.
There are two common options:
- Gas ducted heating uses a central gas furnace to draw cold indoor air, warm it via a heat exchanger, and circulate it through insulated ducts. It provides powerful, rapid heating and is ideal if your home has a natural-gas connection.
- Reverse-cycle ducted heating operates as a heat pump: it extracts latent heat from the outside air and transfers it indoors via refrigerant lines. This method is very efficient because it moves heat rather than generating it, and the same system can cool your home in summer.
We design ducted heating systems tailored to your building’s layout, insulation, and household routine—including zoning to control different areas independently.
Our qualified technicians manage the entire installation process: calculating heat loads, sizing the furnace or heat pump, designing ductwork for balanced airflow, and installing flues or outdoor units to current standards.
After commissioning, we show you how to operate thermostats and basic settings.
Regular servicing maintains efficiency and safety.
Gas heaters require burner cleaning, heat-exchanger inspections, and carbon-monoxide testing, while heat pumps need filters cleaned, coils washed, and refrigerant pressures checked.
If your ducted heater fails to ignite, blows cold air, or makes unusual noises, our emergency team will assess the problem and explain repair or replacement options.
We offer transparent pricing and flexible finance, and all work is backed by a lifetime labour guarantee.
Contact our team at Paterson Air Conditioning to discuss gas or reverse-cycle ducted heating or arrange maintenance.
FAQs
How do I decide between gas ducted and reverse cycle ducted heating?
We’ll assess your home’s size, insulation and existing ductwork and explain the pros and cons of each option so you can make an informed choice.
Can you replace an old ducted heater without re doing all my ducts?
In many cases we can reuse existing ducting. We’ll inspect the condition of your ducts and discuss any additional work before quoting.
Do your ducted heating installations come with a warranty?
Yes. We provide a lifetime labour warranty on our installations, and manufacturer warranties apply to the equipment itself.
Is financing available for a new ducted heating system?
We can facilitate buy now pay later finance on the quoted works through Humm so you can spread the cost of a new system.
