Canberra is one of the coldest cities in Australia. Winter temperatures regularly drop below minus five degrees overnight, and daytime temperatures often stay in single digits for weeks. Frost, fog, and occasional snow are normal from June through August.
Most Canberra homes rely on ducted gas heating as their primary heat source. A well-maintained system keeps the entire home at a comfortable temperature even on the coldest nights. A poorly maintained system wastes gas, struggles to heat the home, and can pose safety risks from carbon monoxide or gas leaks.
Homes across Belconnen, Woden, Tuggeranong, and Weston Creek were built with ducted gas heating as standard. Many of these systems are now 20 to 30 years old and approaching or past the end of their expected lifespan. If your heater is struggling to keep up, making strange noises, or your gas bills are climbing, it may be time for a service, repair, or replacement.
Do not wait until the first cold snap. Book your heating service in autumn so your system is ready when winter hits. If your heater breaks down mid-winter, we also offer emergency call-outs to get your heating back on as fast as possible.
