That technician was also sure to wipe everything down afterwards
  • Lopez are employing the use of PPE, with each tradesperson having access to gloves, masks and sanitising equipment. All tradesmen are fully trained in Covid-19 safe practice, having done the course.

Each of the top 5 companies were investigated in regard to the different heating options they offer and their best recommended heating choice and manufacturers brands for Albury-Wodonga customers.

Specialized Heating and Cooling

The heating options offered by Specialized Heating and Cooling include gas ducted heating, reverse cycle ducted heating and cooling, gas log fires and reverse cycle split systems. For their Albury Wodonga customers, the company recommends ducted gas heating as their top heating system recommendation for total heating comfort and cost effectiveness, by using gas as the energy source. Their top choice in air conditioning manufacturer for these units is Braemar, with Specialized Heating and Cooling also being a warranty agent for this brand.

However, for customers looking for both a heating and cooling, the Specialized Heating and Cooling team recommends fitting a reverse cycle ducted system, which provides heating and cooling from the same unit. For reverse cycle ducted air conditioning units, the company recommends Braemar, Daikin or Fujitsu brands.

However, for a quick low cost, effective heating system for individual rooms or for smaller spaces, the Specialized Heating and Cooling team do recommend going with a reverse cycle split system from either the Daikin or Fujitsu range. Reverse cycle split systems provide both effective heating and cooling and can be run as individual units or as a multi-system unit, where all the split systems in the house connect to one outside unit.

Albury Wodonga Heating and Cooling

Albury Wodonga Heating and Cooling offers a range of heating options to their customers, including ducted gas heating, gas log fires, hydronic heating, patio heaters, space heaters, wall furnaces, wall heaters, reverse cycle ducted and split systems.

They have three main heating recommendations for their customers. The first option is a ducted gas heating system, which can be installed into both new and existing residences, offering effective heating throughout the whole home with lower running costs, due to being powered by gas. For gas heating systems, the company offer the following manufacturer brands, Braemar, Breezair and Coolair, which all come with a 7-year comprehensive warranty.

The second recommendation is to install a reverse cycle ducted air system, which provides total comfort and choice in heating and cooling. This is a more expensive option than a gas ducted heating system, however, offers both heating and cooling from the same unit. Panasonic and Daikin are their recommended brands for reverse cycle ducted systems.

The third heating recommendation from the company is to install reverse cycle split systems into different rooms of the house, which can be a more cost-effective option, whilst still offering effective heating control.  The company offers a huge range of split system products from the following manufacturers’, Panasonic, Daikin and Actron, which will suit any domestic or commercial space.

North East Heating and Cooling

North East Heating and Cooling only offer a small selection of heating options for their customers, including ducted heating systems and reverse cycle split systems. These systems are the two most common heating options for the Albury-Wodonga area.

North East Heating and Cooling’s top choice for heating a whole house, is a ducted gas heating system, as they are an energy efficient solution for maintaining the perfect home temperature. Their recommend brands for ducted systems are Bonaire, Braemar or Brivis.

The other heating option offered by the North East Heating and Cooling team is reverse cycle split systems.

Lopez Refrigeration & Air Conditioning

Lopez Refrigeration & Air Conditioning offers three main heating options for their customers: gas ducted heating systems, reverse cycle ducted systems and reverse cycle split systems.

The number one recommended choice for customers looking for effective heating in their home is a ducted gas heating system from Brivis. The team prefer this heating option as it provides constant heat output regardless of the outside temperature and is a cost-effective alternative. They recommend Brivis as their preferred manufacturer brand as their products have better energy ratings than other brands. A drawback with this heating system is that it requires an add on cooling system, if customers also want cooling.

For customers requiring both heating and cooling, the Lopez Refrigeration & Air Conditioning team recommend a reverse cycle ducted system, which runs on electricity and provide total temperature comfort. For customers interested in only heating one room or those who are looking for a more cost-effective option, Lopez Refrigeration & Air Conditioning offers reverse cycle split systems, which can be placed in each room in the house. Toshiba and Carrier are their preferred brands for this heating option, and they are also warranty agents for these brands.

Air Specialists

The team at Air Specialists believe all their heating options, including reverse cycle ducted and split systems, are great choices. They do not have a preferred heating method, as recommendations are based on customers’ homes, needs and budgets.
