Gas ducted heating is the workhorse of most Ranges homes, and a lot of those systems are getting on in years. Regular servicing keeps them running efficiently, catches faults before they leave you cold mid-winter, and, most importantly, makes sure they're safe to run.
We're a local, in-house team, the same technicians you'll find at Melbourne Gas & Air, working across the Macedon Ranges every week from our Sunbury base. Whether your heater just needs its annual service, has stopped working, or you're weighing up a repair against an upgrade, we'll give you a straight answer and an upfront price.
Heaters rarely fail without warning. If you notice any of these, it's worth booking a service or diagnostic before the problem grows, or before it becomes a safety issue.
The system runs but rooms stay cold, or some vents barely blow warm air.
The heater fails to start, or fires up then shuts down after a short time.
A healthy flame burns blue. Yellow or flickering flames can signal incomplete combustion.
Banging, rattling or whistling from the fan or ductwork when it kicks in.
An inefficient or struggling heater quietly costs you more every winter.
A musty or burning smell, or headaches when the heater runs, needs checking straight away.
Short cycling, where the heater starts and stops over and over, usually points to a fault worth checking.
If it's past 10 to 15 years or hasn't been checked in a while, it's due for a safety service.
Our service is a thorough safety and performance check, not a quick once-over. Every service includes:
If something's faulty, we diagnose first and fix on the spot wherever we can. Frequent repairs include faulty igniters and thermocouples, failed fan motors, gas valve and solenoid issues, thermostat and controller faults, and sealing leaking or disconnected ductwork.
Faulty gas heaters can leak carbon monoxide, an odourless gas that's genuinely dangerous. A cracked heat exchanger may show no obvious signs, which is why we carbon monoxide test on every service. Energy Safe Victoria recommends having gas heaters tested at least every two years. If your heater hasn't been checked recently, book a safety check.
A good service or repair keeps most heaters going for years. But if your unit is past 12 to 15 years, needs repairs every season, or parts are getting scarce, replacing it can be the smarter spend, both on running costs and reliability.
It's also where the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program comes in. Many Ranges homes qualify for a rebate of up to $5,000 to upgrade an old gas ducted heater, including switching to an efficient electric reverse-cycle system. We'll always lay out both options honestly so you can decide what's right for your home. See our upgrade options.
From Gisborne to Kyneton, our technicians service and repair gas ducted heaters across the Ranges and surrounds every week.
