Gas Heaters with Retrofitting and Convertible Options More Economical in Switching to Electric Heating

Gas Heaters with Retrofitting and Convertible Options More Economical in Switching to Electric Heating
3 min read

With seasonal changes, demand arises for innovative climate control technologies like heating, ventilation, and air conditioning at definite intervals throughout the year.

Gas has been a common source of heating. However, as and when economic and environmental factors weigh in, consumers will be happy to switch over to other heaters, including electrical heaters.

In Australia, the providers of HVAC technologies have a pro-consumer approach and have been facilitating change-over gas heaters, helping people switch from gas to electric heat.

The benefits include ease of heating. However, there are certain modalities to follow before the switchover from a gas-based heating connection,

The concerned provider will have to change gas ducted heater. Accordingly, he would detach the gas line from the building with appropriate electrical upgrades too and add a new furnace.

The transition methodology involves the existing hot air system working on gas being replaced by a heat pump or an electric furnace. But the new appliance will still use the existing ductwork.

Fuel change options in heaters 

The change in gas heater demand is frequent and frenetic. There are cost benefits to switching from gas heat to electric heat. Many companies in Australia, including Eco Pacific, deliver innovative climate control technologies to ensure the highest level of air comfort in clients’s living spaces.

They work with building contractors and renovators to install the best and most effective heating, cooling, and ventilation solutions.

They are dedicated to providing healthy, energy-efficient, eco-friendly, and cost-effective heating and cooling solutions.

Advantages of electric heating

There are so many advantages to using electric heat. The foremost is minimal repair for electric heating appliances and less maintenance. Since there is no burning of fossil fuels, the whole system will not require any heavy-duty cleaning. Electric heating is also safe. There is no risk of gas leaks or the emission of toxic carbon monoxide.

Many new generation heaters have retrofitting options to create fresh filtered air heat recovery ventilators (FAHRVS) with control of indoor air temperature, carbon dioxide (CO2), and permissible dust levels at PM2.5 ppm in the indoor air.

Alongside the electricity vs. gas comparison, there are also gas vs. propane comparisons. A gas water heater will use either natural gas or liquid propane (LP).  

It is not possible to use natural gas for a propane water heater or propane for a natural gas water heater. The usage can work only when it is a convertible model. A convertible change over gas heater model will work satisfactorily to switch to propane with a conversion kit.
