Ducted heating is a complete heating system that allows warm air to be generated and circulated throughout your house. In contrast, ducted cooling systems are also available for use during hot weather. The ducted systems make use of blowers that deliver air effectively to the desired living areas.
Ducted heating options
Heating systems use a number of power sources. Whilst ducted systems commonly use electricity, there are also gas ducted heating options.
Advantages of ducted heating
One of the main advantages of ducted heating is that you can integrate both heating and cooling devices in one. This means that you are easily able to manage and regulate the indoor temperatures of your home. This in conjunction with an effective insulation installation will help provide your family with cool summers and warm winters. Many ducted systems have zones built in so that you can ensure you are not wasting energy in areas that do not need it.
Controlling your heating
Ducted systems commonly include a programmable thermostat that combine a number of factors within the system. You can alter the blowers, vents, heating elements and cooling strips to find the right living temperature to suit you and your family.
Your professional heating specialist will be able to provide you advice in regards to the sizing needed to suit your total living area space.
Maintaining your system
Whilst ducted systems are relatively easy to run and maintain, it is important that systems are kept well maintained. Filters should be cleaned and replaced as necessary to avoid issues around air contamination. Heating specialists will also be able to explain the other pros and cons to help you make an informed decision around your heating installation.
Other factors influencing your heating
Keep in mind that the indoor temperature of your home will also be affected by other factors. This includes not only insulation in walls and ceilings, but also window coverings. Double glazing has the added bonus of not only temperature insulation but also noise insulation. Other influential factors in your home include such things as the size and facing direction of your windows, roof colours (darker colours absorb heat, lighter colours reflect heat), and surrounding trees and shelters.
