Heating solutions

The Compare Air Conditioning team, have researched the heating options provided by the top 5 air conditioning installation companies in the Hobart area. Please note that some suburbs in Hobart aren’t linked to natural gas.

Degree C

For heating solutions, Degree C specialise in split and ducted systems only. Split systems are a popular choice as despite needing one unit in each room their operating costs when compared to ducted heating are far more efficient. Ducted systems can be installed throughout the whole house with zone control. They deliver a softer heat via ducts mounted in either the roof or the floor. However, they are more expensive to run than a wall mounted split system.

They recommend Daikin, for whom they are a Super Dealer, finding them a high quality, reliable brand. Degree C are also a Mitsubishi Diamond Dealer for the same reasons. They suggest that the decision between the two would depend on customer taste, preference and what is most appropriate for the space. These criteria will help inform the best recommendation for your household as will providing the house plans via email. Degree C also carry, install and service Fujitsu, with the capacity to heat both large and small spaces.

Energy Solutions

Options provided by Energy Solutions include gas ducted heating, gas log fires, panel heating and reverse cycle split systems. They are also equipped to provide hydronic systems. Their specialist areas are in installation of wall mounted heat pumps, panel heating, ducted, split systems wall or floor mounted heaters.

In terms of recommendations they suggest that panel heating can be good for intermittent heating in spaces, which may not be used often. For a whole house they recommend ducted heating, split systems, wall or floor mounted units. This provides a wide range of solutions for many different types of residences.

Ducted heating delivers soft airflow through a series of ducts that are placed throughout the house, either in the floor or on the ceiling. Split systems and wall-mounted heat pumps can individually heat different rooms with the capacity for multiple units to be run through a single outdoor unit. Wall / floor mounted heat pumps can be more energy efficient, yet some home owners do not like the look of them. They are an ideal choice for the parts of Hobart with no natural gas connection.

Energy Solutions work with highly reputable brands including Fujitsu, Mitsubishi and Daikin. This means they can pass on any heating installation deals for these brands.

Parr’s Heat Pump Centre

Parr’s Heat Pump Centre are specialists in split, multi-split and ducted systems, but no underfloor and hot water pumps. Parr’s Heat Pump Centre are able to accommodate the heating challenges of high wall residences. They recommend floor mounts, ducted and split systems. In particular they highly recommend Daikin split systems; these don’t freeze up and continue to run in extreme conditions. Split system wall units would need to be installed in each room that requires heating. The air they blow is more drying than that of a ducted system but their running costs work out to be cheaper. This is a similar outcome in terms of floor-mounted systems. Some homeowners prefer not to use floor or wall mounted heating, as it is less discrete than a ducted unit. Ducted units can emit heat either through ceiling or floor ducts. They offer a gentler, less noticeable heat that can warm a whole house. However, these systems have a higher running cost.

Parr’s Heat Pump Centre suggest doing a heat load assessment before making their recommendation. This can help narrow down heating choices to the best for your space.

Southern Air

Southern Air pride themselves on offering a heating solution to achieve maximum efficiency and aesthetics. To do so they offer a free in-home inspection. After having a look at the switchboard, property and measuring it Southern Air will then discuss models and brands. The position of the mountain in Hobart in relation to the property will influence their recommendation.

Southern Air generally won’t give a recommendation until they see the property as the mountain in Hobart can influence how much sun a home gets and thereby what’s most appropriate. They offer wall, floor and ducted heat pumps as well as hydronic systems. A wall-mounted heat pump will generally need to be installed in each room, meaning a higher initial outlay but lower running costs.

Ducted heating can be installed in either the floor or ceiling. It delivers a gentle heat that doesn’t draw too much moisture from the air. However ducted systems can be expensive to operate and are not appropriate for properties without access to the natural gas line. Southern Air suggest that most homes will be looking at between $3 and 3.5k for a general living area.

Hydronic heating is becoming a more popular option – heating a whole house through heated water and a series of pipes. However, installation can be costly, particularly if the property does not have space under the floors.

Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric and Fujitsu are Southern Air’s brands of choice due to their reputation for quality, performance and durability.

EGS

The electric products EGS specialise in include heat pumps, floor heating, hydronic heating, ceiling heaters, panel heaters and space heaters, underfloor heaters. For gas they can offer ducted, portable heating, flued gas space heaters, gas log flame fires and gas hydronic heating, with the caveat that some homes in Hobart won’t have access to natural gas.

EGS’s most popular option is a ducted heat pump system at a cost of approximately $12 to 13 thousand. They recommend this as it is a good all-rounder product, offering nice and even heat. Hydronic heating is another of their highest recommendations, the issue being their expense and installation requirements. They can start at about $30 thousand for installation. If ducted and hydronic systems are not appropriate for your budget individual heat pumps including panel heaters etc. start from about $5 to $6 thousand.  A heat pump paced in the living room is around $3 thousand. To warm the whole house using individual heat pumps EGS can install a multihead system, which can run a number of inside units through the one outdoor unit. EGS says that the electric heat pumps are most efficient in running costs.

In terms of brands EGS specialise in Daikin, Fujitsu, Rinnai and Brivis systems. These have a reputation for being consistently high quality.
