Ducted heating

How does ducted heating work?
A ducted system consists of three major components; a heater, a ductwork system and a wall control. The heater draws air out of the house through a large, centrally located return air duct into your heater where it is warmed. Once heated, the air is then distributed throughout your house via a network of smaller ducts and released into each room through floor or ceiling outlets. The entire process is controlled by your wall control, which is usually positioned in the living area on an internal wall and away from windows and doors if possible.

We recommend that you use the following guidelines to get the best performance from your heater and maximise its efficiency:

• Making sure your home is well insulated such as wall-to-wall floor coverings, drapes, pelmets and even wall insulation can help reduce your energy consumption, ceiling insulation is mandatory
• By turning your heater off at night and on again in the morning, you’ll save energy and lower your gas bill
• Keep the temperature setting low if you are active in the house, normal operating temperature should be around 17°C to 21°C
• Do not leave external doors and windows open
• Fumes from candles, fragrant oil burners, cooking or smoking may be drawn into the system (especially if the Return Air inlet is in the ceiling) and can cause staining around the heating outlets; installing an Electronic Air Filter in the Return Air will help to avoid this problem.

Just follow these few guidelines and your Ducted Heating System is sure to provide you with many years of warmth and satisfaction.
