Types of Gas Heating

Let’s take a look:

Benefits of Gas Heating

There are some obvious benefits when adding heating systems to the home, like being able to enjoy lovely winter cosiness. But it’s the benefits of the gas itself that are the real talking points.

If your noisy air conditioner produces a hiss, it could mean one of two things: that there’s an air leak somewhere in the system or that the compressor has sprung a refrigerant leak. An air leak is a minor issue, one that’s more annoying than anything else. A refrigerant leak however, is a significant concern. Refrigerant gases are present in all split systems and ducted air conditioners. These gases treat the air passing through the system to provide the desired heating and cooling.

 

The benefits of gas heating include:

  • The ability to remain warm and toasty all winter long.
  • Gas is around 30–40 per cent cheaper to run than electric heating methods like air con. So it’s a real money-saver.
  • Gas is more eco-friendly, producing only 50 per cent of the carbon of coal-generated electricity. So, it lowers your carbon footprint.

Stop relying on electric heating! It’s time to make the switch to gas

A single click or pop on start up can signify that the air conditioner is communicating with the thermostat and is no reason for concern. If the clicking or popping noise remains consistent, then you may have a problem. A defective relay or failing thermostat could be the culprit. Whatever the cause, it’s something that needs to be replaced, so check your warranty or call an air con technician for the appropriate fix.

If you rely on ducted air conditioning, a popping or even banging noise can be caused by the differences in pressure between the air supply and return duct. Another reason for noise can be the ducts expanding and contracting due to changes in temperature. Having a professional clean the system, seal any leaks, and adjust the duct dampers can help reduce the noise.

A high pitched squeal or squeak can be one of the louder noises produced by an air conditioner. The piercing sound can indicate that the blower motor’s belt has slipped and requires adjustment. Most modern systems no longer use a belt system, so this problem is exclusive to older systems.

And yet contemporary air conditioners can also squeal if the bearings on the condenser have worn down from use or if the compressor fails. Both problems need to be addressed by a technician right away before they cause the motor to fail.
