Before you call
Check that your controller is set to heating and the temperature is above room temperature. If it uses batteries, check whether they need replacing.
Note any displayed error code and your heater's brand and model, if readily accessible. Avoid opening the unit, accessing roof spaces or repeatedly resetting a heater that shuts down.

Ducted heating services
Routine servicing
Inspect and clean applicable components, assess operation and check airflow in line with the heater's servicing requirements.

Investigate heaters that fail to ignite or shut down repeatedly.
Poor heating performance
Assess cold airflow, inconsistent temperatures and reduced heating performance.
Gas supply and connections
Check for gas supply or connection issues affecting the heater and explain any work required.
Component repairs

Any electrical repairs must be handled by an appropriately licensed tradesperson. We'll explain how this applies to your heater.
Repair or replace your heater?
A faulty component does not always mean you need a new system. We assess the heater's condition, repair costs and parts availability before making a recommendation.
If repairs are unlikely to offer good value, we'll explain why so you can make an informed decision.
Cooling with an evaporative cooler? We service those before summer.
Upfront servicing and repair prices

Ducted Heating Questions
Have another question? Call 0448 984 771 – we’re happy to help.
When should I book a ducted heating service?
Book before winter so your heater is ready when you need it. Follow the manufacturer's recommended service intervals, or contact us with your brand and model for guidance.
Why is my ducted heater blowing cold air?
Possible causes include an ignition fault, gas supply issue, controller setting or another component fault. We'll assess the system and explain what's needed to restore heating.
Is a burning smell normal when heating starts?
A brief dusty smell can occur after a long period without use. A persistent, strong or unusual burning smell needs attention. Stop using the heater and arrange an assessment. If you smell gas, leave the affected area and avoid flames or operating electrical switches. Call your gas distributor's emergency number from a safe location, or 000 if there is immediate danger.
Why are some rooms colder than others?
Closed vents, restricted airflow, damaged ductwork or system balancing issues may cause uneven heating. Check that accessible vents are open. We can investigate further without you needing to enter the roof space.
