What is the best heating system for your Geelong home?

During these colder months many people consider installing a new heating system in their Geelong home. Perhaps you’ve struggled through the earlier parts of winter and have decided enough is enough! You don’t want to be shivering through the remainder of winter this year, and you want to be comfortable next year’s winter, and we don’t blame you.

So what type of heating system will ensure you and your family are comfortable year-round? Let’s look at a few different types of heating systems.

Central heating options for your Geelong home

Ducted heating

This type of heating involves warm air circulating through ducts in your roof or floor, gas is the primary heat source for this kind of heating system. Air circulates through out the room or entire home to warm it. People like this heating system because it can heat your home instantly, however it can be noisy and some people don’t like the idea of dust being circulated in the air.

In-slab floor heating

If you are building a brand new home you can heat your home through the concrete slab through either electric cables or hydronic pipes set into the slab (pictured below) . Electric cabled in-slab heating can be an effective heating option for some homes, however it is costly and will increase your green house gas emissions.

The team at Heating Plus recommends in-slab hydronic heating over electric, because it’s the cheaper option and also the more environmentally-friendly options, especially when paired with solar.
