Australians have been coming home to the wonderful warmth of Braemar for more than 50 years. Australian made and wholly Australian owned, Braemar’s reputation as the leading brand of ducted gas heating is well deserved because of its world leading innovation and the stand alone quality of its manufacturing.

The revolutionary Spectrolink Multizone control system lets you simultaneously control up to four independent temperature zones with fast, quiet and efficiently clean heating. Family feuds will be a thing of the past as this simple to use system delivers the temperatures that you desire in up to four different temperature zones within your home.

Outstanding energy efficiency across the range, coupled with the most advanced control system available, all adds up to powerful heating with the minimum amount of gas consumed. So when it comes to genuine running cost savings, powerful, quiet and clean heating it has to be Braemar!

During winter there’s no better place than a warm, cosy and healthy home. Braemar ducted gas heating has been delivering wonderfully warm homes to Australian families for more than 50 years. The latest range of Braemar ducted gas heaters is ideal for families with clean, powerful heating that features a host of safety innovations. The build-up of greenhouse gas emissions is a major concern for us all – which is why natural gas is a responsible choice for home heating needs.

Research  commissioned by the Australian Gas Association in 2000* found that in the residential sectors gas is a clear winner in reducing  greenhouse gas emissions. It determined that, in space heating, the emissions from a natural gas ducted space heater are just one third that of heating powered by black coal generated electricity.

By installing a Braemar Ecostar ducted gas system you’ll do more than just save on running costs, you’ll be contributing towards a healthier planet. Gas ducted heating is far cheaper to run than any other form of central heating system*, including reverse cycle air conditioning. So not only will your home stay nice and warm during winter, you’ll save money on heating costs as well. (*Source: S.E.A.V. 2004 Annual Heating Cost Comparison)

Is it just me or are our summers getting hotter? It’s easy to deal with while driving in your car with the air con on full but what about when you get to work? Unfortunately the boss isn’t going to give you a day off if it’s too hot unless he has gone crazy. But have your (or your boss) ever considered putting an evaporative cooling system into the workshop or factory?

Sure an airconditioner is the coolest way to go – but it really isn’t practical for a number of reasons. First and foremost is the cost – a ducted air conditioning system is going to cost tens of thousands of dollars to cool your workplace, not to mention the running costs will be huge. Ducted airconditioning is also impractical for most work places as many have large roller doors that need to be open – it would be like driving in your car, air con on and the windows down – it’s no point!

So forget about ducted air conditioning. Consider an evaporative cooling system otherwise known as water cooling and evap cooling. First benefit of an evaporative cooling system is the running costs – they use at least 75% less energy than a ducted air con system. Evaporative cooling is also friendly on the environment as no harmful gases are used or released.

So evaporative cooling is cheaper to run and more cost efficient to purchase – but that’s not all. Evaporative cooling systems have many more benefits over a ducted air conditioning system. Evaporative cooling actually lowers the temperature by introducing fresh, cool air at a rate of some 2000 litres per second on average. This means that the roller doors and windows must be left open for it to work properly! Evaporative cooling systems are generally installed within a day without any alterations to the buildings structure. Unlike a water cooling tower, evaporative cooling systems do not require any chemicals as the water is constantly evaporated and replaced with fresh clean water automatically.

There are so many benefits to having an evaporative cooling system installed in your workplace. Surely the boss would appreciate less ‘sick days’ (read ‘beach days’) and increased productivity because everyone is working in a comfortable environment.

The first step in maintaining your ducted heating system is to check the ducted heater itself. It is recommended that you check the heater before winter begins and once finished. Most ducted heaters will appreciate being shut down during summer.

To check your ducted heating system, firstly inspect the heater itself. Remove any cobwebs and debris from the unit – especially any leaves caught near the flue. Next you need to check the return air filter and ensure its clean and in good condition.

There is generally no need to check the duct work with a ducted heating system unless some outlets are not delivering the air as they once did. The ducted heating unit draws air in from the return air – so that is the first place to start. If the return air grille is drawing in air it should be getting to the heater and the delivered through the outlets or vents. If just one outlet is not working it has possible fallen off the system and you’ll need to repair it – most capable DIY people can handle that job.

The best way to clean your return air filter is just with a vacuum on a low suction setting. You can also wash the filter out with water but make sure it is fully dry before reinstalling it. If there is a lot of build-up of dust on the filter vacuum it first before washing.

Never cover your ducted heater completely. This will allow moisture to build up inside and parts will begin to rust prematurely. Should the ducted heater break down your first call should be to the manufacturer of the ducted heating unit – Brivis, Braemar, Vulcan, Lennox, Stadt and Omgea and the largest ducted heating manufacturers today.

Brivis Ducted Heating Installation - The performance of any central heating system relies a great deal on the installation of it. Brivis have a national network of authorized dealers to install your ducted heating system and it will normally only take one day. All brivis authorized dealers are invited to participate in a training program held all across Australia’s capital cities. This training program is updated annually and trains ducted heating designers, installers and sales persons alike.

Brivis Ducted Heating – How Does it Work? – The brivis ducted as heater unit draws air from inside your home through a centrally located return air grille. This grille should be fitted with a filter and cleaned every few weeks. If a return air filter is installed this will greatly reduce any dust from being blown and circulated around the home. Once the air reaches the gas ducted heater it is warmed and then delivered to every room of your house via ducts/vents/outlets. Once the temperature inside your home reaches the temperature you desire the burners on the gas ducted heater will turn off. The fan will slow down so that any left over heat in the system is still delivered and not wasted.

Gas Ducted Heating – Energy Rating Gas Ducted Heating – Efficiency – All gas ducted heating systems have an energy or star rating approved by that AGA (Australian Gas Association). The new Brivis range of HX gas ducted heaters boast a terrific energy star rating of 5.8 making them the most efficient gas ducted heater available in Australia today. The energy rating label shown to the left basically shows the number of stars to show the efficiency of an appliance – in this case a gas ducted heater.

The more stars shown on the label the more energy efficient the heater. The more energy efficient the heater, the lower the running costs will be along with less greenhouse gas emissions. Generally a high star rating model will cost more to purchase initially however the savings on your gas bill can make up the difference in just a few years. Gas Ducted Heating – Zoning – Most ducted heating systems today have the option of being zoned.

This means that the living areas can be heated during the day whilst the sleeping areas are off. Then later in the evening you can open up the sleeping zone and have the whole home heated. Then perhaps during the night just the sleeping areas can remain heated should you wish. You can save hundreds of dollars a year by having a gas ducted heating system that is zoned.
