Heating and Cooling Systems
Heating and cooling can make up 20% to 50% of a household's energy consumption in Australia, depending on the climate zone. There are several ways to enhance your home’s energy efficiency, helping to reduce these costs and create a more comfortable living space.
Simple Steps to Improve Efficiency:
Seal Gaps
Prevent outdoor air from entering by sealing gaps around doors and windows with weather strips. (Note: If you use a flueless or open-flue gas heater, proper ventilation is essential for safe operation).
Curtains and Shades
Thick curtains can help maintain indoor temperatures, and installing exterior shading or planting deciduous trees can control sunlight exposure.Insulation
Adding insulation to the roof, walls, and floors can significantly reduce heating and cooling needs.
Types of Heating and Cooling Systems
When choosing a heating or cooling system, it’s essential to find the right fit for your home and climate.
Electric Systems
Most air conditioners available today carry an Energy Rating Label, showing efficiency ratings across three climate zones—hot, average, and cold. This Zoned Energy Rating Label helps homeowners choose the most suitable system for their location.
Home heating and cooling become especially cost-effective and sustainable when paired with solar power. Adding battery storage can make solar power even more accessible by allowing energy storage for use after dark.
Gas Heating
Gas heaters must undergo a certification process that includes an energy rating label to meet Australian safety and efficiency standards. Gas heater efficiency can vary, as some heat escapes through the flue or open windows for unflued models. Gas heaters also rely on electricity for fans and other parts, which affects overall running costs.
Heating Options
There are several heating methods, each offering unique benefits:
Electric Reverse-Cycle Air Conditioners – These units provide both heating and cooling by transferring heat rather than generating it, achieving 300% to 600% efficiency.
Portable or Installed Heaters (Electric or Gas) – Simple to set up and effective for smaller areas.
Ducted Gas Heating – A centralized system that distributes warm air via ductwork, typically more expensive to install and operate.
Electric In-Slab Floor Heating – Radiant heating from beneath the floor, ideal for consistent warmth.
Wood Fireplaces – Traditional heating source, especially for colder climates.
Hydronic Heating – Hot water flows through radiator panels or under-floor piping, providing efficient warmth.
Heat Shifters – Fans and ducting transfer warm air from heated to unheated rooms, reducing energy costs.
Cooling Options
Fans – Ceiling, pedestal, and personal fans provide effective air movement, reducing perceived temperature by up to 3°C.
Electric Reverse-Cycle Air Conditioners – Efficient for both heating and cooling, with a range of ducted and split-system options.
Evaporative Coolers – Work well in low-humidity regions by cooling air via water evaporation.
Natural Cooling – Strategies such as bringing in cool night air and venting hot air help reduce indoor temperatures.
Choosing, Installing, and Maintaining Systems
When buying or upgrading, consult an expert to help select a model suited to your home layout and size requirements. Units with Energy Rating Labels provide climate-specific efficiency information, ensuring you make an informed decision. Proper installation and regular maintenance—such as cleaning filters, wiping vents, and scheduling inspections—will help maximise efficiency and system longevity.
Gas Heater Options
Ducted Gas Heating
This system distributes heat through ducts installed in ceilings or floors, but it can be expensive to run. Maintenance, including filter cleaning, is essential to keep it efficient.
Portable Gas Heaters
Unflued portable gas heaters require ventilation, as they emit carbon monoxide and other gases. Be cautious with ventilation to maintain air quality. Portable gas heaters are often regulated, and some regions restrict or ban them for safety reasons.
Flued Gas Heaters
Safer than unflued options, flued heaters expel combustion gases outside. The most efficient models are room-sealed flued heaters, while open-flue types require ventilation, which impacts efficiency.
