Keeping cosy and constant
Frosty mornings, a chill on the wind and a dramatic drop in temperatures during a Wimmera-mallee winter prompt us all to seek out the best ways to stay warm.
Being able to quickly and efficiently satisfy this need can be a frustrating prospect, especially when there’s a need to keep the family healthy and happy as cold weather settles in for its annual visit.
We’re on the cusp of the arrival of winter, have had a brief taste of what’s to come with a few cold snaps.
That means the timing is perfect to make the move into sorting heating needs.
Ducted gas heating provides one of the best options to quickly establish comfort levels and importantly, maintain those levels regardless of ambient temperatures. In other words, when the cold of winter sets in outside, ducted heating ensures interior conditions remain steady and readily controllable.
Unlike some reverse-cycle units, ducted gas heaters will quickly reach a set temperature throughout a home, guaranteeing more space where people can live, work or play.
The ducted gas heating process provides finger-tip temperature control throughout many rooms.
It works by passing cold air over a heat exchanger, warmed by gas combustion and warmed air travelling throughout a home via a series of vents in a ceiling or floor.
A thermostat in the main living area senses an average temperature inside the home and sends a signal to the heater to cycle on or off to maintain a desired level. Combustion exhaust safely discharges outside the home via a flue, completing a perfect cyclic process.
Wades in Horsham are the home-heating specialists and their understanding of the benefits of ducted gas heating is second to none.
Wades stocks and installs Seeley International-braemar systems, that range in star ratings from three all the way up to the world’s first seven-star units.
Installing any type of heating system carries with it a level of customer anxiety. We all have questions such as – does it heat the home efficiently, is it cost-effective and what happens if something goes wrong?
These critical questions are something Wades pride themselves on covering.
For example, Wades, as the only authorised ‘Seeley Climate Master’ in Western Victoria, have exclusive access to the latest Braemar product range.
This means this family business can offer an impressive and comprehensive seven-year factory-backed warranty, as well as a 10-year heat exchanger-burner warranty.
It is also always better, especially before the cold weather sets in, to assess heating needs and consider how a switch to the latest units, with all the new mod-cons and latest efficiencies, would be of overall benefit. This not only includes how well a system heats a home, but also the positive impact on the hip-pocket.
The worst-case scenario is realising that a worn-out heat exchanger has cracked and been letting dangerous gas leak into a roof. All heat exchangers have a limited life span of 10 to 15 years.
The best bet is to get on the front foot and explore options now available.
