Ducted Gas Heating
Whole home flued gas heating, thermostatically controlled. Efficient and economical heating system. Can be zoned for extra efficiency.
Braemar Ducted Gas Heating
We know how important it is for your home to be warm throughout with a reliable, efficient and economic heating system. That’s why Braemar have developed Australia’s most efficient range of ducted gas heating that leads the field in overall quality, design and attention to detail.
When you buy a Braemar Ecostar Ducted Gas Heating unit, you have the security of knowing years of home heating expertise has created a product that is above all, safe and efficient and will keep your whole family warm and happy.
Braemar ducted gas heating travels through insulated ducting, and enters the room out of vents in the ceiling. It can be installed as a stand-alone heating system, or alongside existing evaporative air conditioning installations. However the same existing larger diameter evaporative ducting cannot be used.
Braemar engineering expertise has maximised the amount of heat extracted from each unit of gas used. Combined with Braemar’s zoned heating feature and other energy saving technologies means you save significantly on running costs.
Braemar EcoStar requires no pilot light due to the unique Single Point Ignition (SPI) system, saving even more of our precious resources. Whichever you choose, your Braemar heater will automatically maintain your comfort level with thermostatic control of your desired room temperature.
The Braemar Ecostar represents a revolution in modern ducted gas heating.
Several technology breakthroughs unique to Ecostar mean it is one of the most flexible, energy-efficient forms of heating available.
- Whole-of-home heating
- Unprecedented zonal temperature control from the Spectrolink Controller.
- Outstanding heating efficiency of up to 5.4 gas energy rating stars.
- Unique energy-saving features.
- Engineering excellence that ensures maximum heat output for every gas unit used.
- Single-point ignition that eliminates the need for a pilot light.
- In-shot burner technology that maximises combustion efficiency.
- Triaction heat exchanger for maximum heat generation.
- Softair fan system that delivers continuous warm air.
Why Gas?
The arguments for gas heating are compelling. Gas is a highly efficient and clean form of heating and it’s relatively inexpensive to run. It’s also healthier for your body and is better for the environment, creating fewer greenhouse gas emissions than electricity and inefficient solid fuel heaters.
Environmentally Friendly
The build-up of greenhouse gas emissions is a major concern, which makes natural gas a responsible choice for home heating.
Research commissioned by the Australian Gas Association* found that gas is well ahead of other forms of heating in limiting greenhouse gas emissions.
For example, natural gas space heaters release one-third the emissions produced by heating from black coal generated electricity. The performance of the Braemar Ecostar ducted system is even more impressive.
Smoke from solid fuel heaters also contribute to air pollution and they are less energy efficient with a large percentage of heat lost up the chimney or flue.

Health Benefits
Air processed by electric heaters, such as reverse cycle air-conditioners, can dry out the air, irritating the skin, eyes and throat. The outcome is no better from wood heaters which emit small particles in the smoke that can be harmful to health.
Gas heating, on the other hand, results in a high comfort level and an asthma-safe environment.
Always consult your physician for advice regarding your specific circumstances.
Efficiency and Running Costs
One of the great benefits of ducted gas and gas space heating is that they work efficiently no matter how cold it is outside.
That’s not the case with many reverse cycle electric systems that lose their efficiency when the outside temperature drops below 5°C – just when they are needed most.
People switching to gas heating are often surprised at how inexpensive they are to run.
In a 2004 survey Sustainable Energy Authority Victoria found that gas ducted heating is far cheaper to operate than any other form of central heating system, including reverse cycle air conditioning.
