Heating solutions

The Compare Air Conditioning team looked into which solutions were appropriate for heating in the Launceston area, checking in with our top-rated installers.

Tones Electrical

The technicians at Tones Electrical recommend heat pumps as the best option for the area, with the wall split system as their highest recommendation. These come in various sizes and can thereby heat both big and small rooms. Being a Samsung specialist they can get good pricing, starting at about $2,400 for installation. Single heat pump units will need to be installed in each space that requires heating, making the initial outlay seem expensive. However, they are efficient and relatively cheap to run, plus heat pumps are durable and can continue to perform even when it feels freezing outside.

Ducted systems are customised to warm the whole house. They send warm, gentle air through a series of pipes and this air is released through vents either in the ceiling or floor. Depending on the property ducted will cost around $8,000 and can have added on zoning controls, which can bring down the otherwise expensive running costs of the system.

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. These heat pumps are known for their durability, meaning they should continue running no matter how cold it gets in the valley. As a second option, ducted systems can be installed throughout the whole house with added 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.

Degree C recommends Daikin, for who they are a Super Dealer, finding them a high quality, reliable brand. Degree Care 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.

HEG

Home Efficiency Group specialise in heat pumps and ducted systems. They can also utilise the current heating system in your house, building an efficient air circulation system around it.

The technician at HEG has a heat pump in his home and recommends them. With a larger unit in one room air circulation can take excess heat and drop it into other rooms. Or you can install a unit in each of the most used rooms. HEG suggest that this is the most economical and efficient way of heating a home. Unit installation can cost from $6 and a half to $7 thousand with the heat pump making up 380% co-efficiency once installed.

While they believe heat pumps to be the most efficient system, HEG can also install fully ducted systems with a price range of $15 to $16 thousand. As well as ducts, where heat can rise through the floor or ceiling, HEG can also install cassettes as part of a ducted system. Ducts and cassettes are more discretely designed than heat pumps. They offer a quiet operating system with gently flowing heat. However they can be more expensive in terms of operation.

HEG can install all kinds of brands. They specialise mainly in Mitsubishi Heavy Industries but also have expertise with Fujitsu and Haier.  Owned by Fisher & Paykel, Haier are not well known in Australia but they are a massive brand presence worldwide.

Northern Air Tech

Northern Air Tech’s recommendations depend on the layout of your home and budget. Their technicians suggest that ducted would be a good choice with 18 – 20 square metres needing an 18 kw system. Northern Air Tech suggest that split systems and floor mounts are the best heating systems for the area as they blow up and over. A floor mount would start at about $2,700, depending on the space that needs heating. The technicians at Northern Air Tech are also adept at installing under ceiling units and in working with high wall units and floor units.

For ducted and other systems Northern Air Tech works with Daikin and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries due to these brands’ ability to perform under the chilliest conditions.

Tasmanian Heat Pump Centre

As their name indicates, Tasmanian Heat Pump Centre is a specialist heat pump company, offering appliances and systems solutions.

Depending on the customer’s budget Tasmanian Heat Pump Centre recommend multi split and ducted systems due to their efficiency. Ducted systems can be installed either in the ceiling or under the floor, with vents emitting gently flowing air. This type of system can warm a whole house at once, while not drawing too much moisture from the air. The downside to a ducted system can be their running costs. There is the option to add zoning control that will reduce the amount of energy being used when heating is not needed.

Heat pumps can be installed in rooms with the highest traffic, or in every room of the house as necessary. Multiple units can be run off the one outdoor fan. Buying multiples at once may seem like an expense, but wall mounted heat pumps make up for this in their reasonable running costs. They can also be controlled from a central point or through Wi-Fi, meaning usage can be easily controlled.

Tasmanian Heat Pump Centre specialise in Mitsubishi Electric and Noirot units. They suggest looking at a property’s heat load before making a definitive recommendation
