Frequently Asked Questions

  • What’s the most energy-efficient way to heat a home?

    The most energy-efficient heating system for a home depends on your climate, house size, insulation and budget. In many cases, reverse cycle split systems or ducted systems with inverter technology are considered the most efficient, especially in well-insulated homes. These systems use electricity to move heat rather than generate it, which means they can deliver more energy output than they consume—making them cost-effective in the long run.


    Zoning (heating only certain areas when needed), using a programmable thermostat, and ensuring regular maintenance all help improve energy efficiency. Gas heaters can also be efficient, especially in colder regions, but rising gas prices may offset some of the savings. Choosing the right system involves balancing upfront costs, energy usage, and long-term running costs specific to your home and climate.

  • Is it safe to leave heating on overnight?

    Leaving heating on overnight is generally safe if the system is well-maintained and designed for continuous operation, such as reverse cycle split systems or ducted systems with timers and thermostats. However, it’s important to use the system responsibly:


    • Set the thermostat to a moderate temperature (around 18–20°C) to avoid overheating
    • Ensure all safety features are working, especially in gas heaters
    • Avoid using portable or unflued gas heaters overnight, as they can pose a risk of carbon monoxide poisoning and fire
    • Make sure vents are unobstructed and there’s good airflow

    If you’re concerned about safety or energy use, consider setting your system to run for a few hours before bed and again in the early morning with a programmable timer.

  • How often should I service my heating system?

    Heating systems should be serviced at least once a year, ideally before winter begins. Regular servicing helps ensure your unit operates efficiently, safely and reliably during peak use. A professional technician will inspect the system’s components, clean filters, test for carbon monoxide leaks (for gas systems), check for electrical issues and ensure everything is working as it should.


    For ducted heating, servicing may include inspecting ductwork for blockages or damage and making sure vents are clean and unobstructed. Split systems may require cleaning of the indoor unit, filters and outdoor condenser. Frequent use, dusty environments or older systems may require more frequent checks. Regular servicing not only improves performance but also extends the life of the system and reduces the risk of breakdowns when you need it most.
