Heating, Cooling & Ventilation

Q: What is the most common type of heating system?

Some of the most common heating systems in Australia include forced air heating systems, where hot air is heated and travels via ducts. Heat pumps, baseboard heaters, underfloor heating and wall radiators are just some examples of this.

Q: How do thermostats determine the temperature?

Older electromechanical thermostats usually determine the temperature via a metal strip or coil. It expands in heat and contracts with cold, which acts as a trigger to turn on or off the system, depending on whether the temperature is rising or falling. Contemporary electromechanical systems register the temperature with programmable sensors that allow you to adjust it to your liking.

Types of heating and cooling systems

Central Heating and Cooling Systems

Central heating and cooling systems are integrated into your house and heat or cool your entire home, rather than just one room.

Fireplaces

Modern fireplaces can be built into the home or be free-standing and can be fuelled by wood, gas, electricity or bioethanol.

Heaters

Heaters offer flexibility and can be used to warm up just one area of your home. They come in a huge range of energy-efficient and environmentally friendly options.

Hot Water Heating

Hot water heating systems are essential to any home and come in a range of options including heat pumps, boilers and electric heaters.

Ventilation Systems

Ventilation systems remove the stale air in your home and filter through fresh air in its place. They can also help to reduce the level of condensation in your home.

Advantages of high-quality heating and cooling products

Installing a heating system in your home is a big investment. Make it all worthwhile by choosing the highest quality products you can. You certainly don’t want to be going through the process all over again just because the products you initially installed turned out to be subpar. Great quality means better technology, high efficiency, easier maintenance and fewer repair call-outs in the long term too.

How to choose heating and cooling products that are right for you

One of the first considerations you should make when choosing the heating and cooling products that are most suited to your situation is the size of the space where you’d like to regulate the temperature. If you have a large house, you should think about a ducted system, which will output to multiple rooms. A small apartment could do just fine with a heat pump or a gas heater. The climate in your location is another big factor. It will help you decide if you need a multifunctional system that both heats and cools a space and how frequently you might use it throughout the year. If you live in a hot climate as many do in Australia, then a cooling system combined with ceiling fans could be best.

What are the three types of heat transfer?

The three types of heat transfer are conduction, convection and radiation. Each of these has been utilised in modern heating systems in different ways. Conduction carries heat through the object itself. Convection heaters heat cool water or air, as in the case of underfloor heating or warm water radiators often used in central heating systems. Radiation transfers heat via electromagnetic waves that travel through the air to be absorbed by other objects directly, without transferring any heat to the air. An open fire or an electric coil heater are examples.
