Do you live in a part of Australia that enjoys all four seasons? If so, you may think that you have the best of all worlds, but you can nevertheless be presented with some additional problems and specifically when it comes to conditioning the air within your home. You may be confused when it comes to the equipment necessary as you may think that you need two separate installations to achieve the desired effect. However, with careful planning, you can utilise technology that relies on the same principles, is managed through the same control mechanism and can be zoned according to your requirements. What do you need to know about these solutions?
Double Functionality
In an ideal world, you need a ducted gas heating option that also includes a reverse cycle cooling unit. This dual functionality is perfect for environments where summer heat can be toasty, but snow is never far away at the other end of the year. However, you do need to plan this carefully so that you utilise the layout of your home efficiently, especially as the ducting requirement for cooling is larger than for heating.
Necessary Components
You may be wondering what individual components you need for this system to work. For winter time, it all begins with the heating unit which collects cool air through a fan before passing it through the gas furnace to heat it up. It then pushes the air through your insulated ducting system to each individual zone and into the various rooms scattered around your home. With your registers and vents in the open position, the warm air is then allowed to escape from these ducts. An equal amount of air is then allowed to flow back through grills to the heating unit, where it is exchanged for cold air, and the process is renewed.
Design Options
Some people choose to have their ducts fitted at floor level instead of within the ceiling, but this is something that you need to consider at the design phase. Alternatively, you may have a combination of both if it suits the layout of your property better, but the technology is the same, and it can be precisely controlled.
Flexibility
For example, if you have some rooms that are not in regular use, then you can shut off the ducts to those spaces, to save resources. You can manage the temperature of different rooms independently, so that a sleeping room can be set at a slightly lower temperature than the main living room, for example.
Precise Configurations
This is one of the most flexible solutions you can come across, so make sure you talk with your installation expert to configure it correctly for your home. For more information, contact your local gas heating services.
Hello! My name is Jake. I am the kind of guy who finds out about a subject and then who must learn everything he can about it. A subject I have focused on in recent times is HVAC. This might seem a little strange. However, my interest was sparked when an HVAC contractor visited my home to install a new air con system. He was really friendly and he took the time to answer my questions. Since then, I have been doing everything I can to learn about HVAC. I hope you enjoy reading what I have written on my blog.
