Exploring Options After the New Build Gas Heating Ban in VIC

From the 1st of January 2024 all gas connections to new homes will be banned, so where does this leave house builders when it comes to alternative heating options? At GJ Bradding, we can supply and install alternatives to gas heating in Geelong and Ballarat, to allow for efficient and effective heating of your home. Read on for a quick guide to heating systems that get you ahead of the gas ban.

Hydronic Heating

A boiler is all that's needed to heat water for hydronic heating. The hot water is then sent through a loop of pipes and heating vents that heat rooms all over the house. Radiators and floor slabs are the most popular ways to heat a room. The best time to put pipes under the floor is when a house is being built or when big changes are being made to it, so this is ideal if you are building your home, or you are a residential home-building business.

This method is a great alternative to gas-ducted heating systems, which are known to disperse dust and other pollutants into the air. The longevity and reliability of hydronic heating systems are well-documented facts.

Split Systems

Split systems offer both heating and cooling settings. Unlike traditional central air conditioning systems, which need in-roof ductwork, split-system air conditioners may be installed in individual rooms. With a split system, you can instantly chill or heat a room with the push of a button. They provide accurate temperature regulation, so you can tailor the environment to your personal preferences.

They are also easy to install, and the team at GJ Bradding can provide a professional and efficient solution for you.
