Heating is an essential part of living in Sydney and its outskirts during winter, Australia wide we have some even cooler climates where one would barely survive without some form of heating.
There are some cheap forms of heating however that may affect your health. Firstly we must mention, ALL our heating systems, including our highest efficiency Brivis ducted gas heating range are safe and healthy, with a flue system in every unit ensuring your families health is first priority, with keeping your entire home warm is a very close second. The unflued gas heaters are where the health risk are most concern.
Gas heaters produce heat through burning gas fuel. When gas fuel is burnt, air pollutants and water vapour are also produced.
A flued gas heater vents these air pollutants and water vapour outside the home through a chimney or flue, while an unflued gas heater releases them directly into the home. This means that an unflued gas heater has the potential to cause indoor air pollution in your home, this is the air the your family breathes. These gases may affect your health.
