Choosing a heating system is crucial for your comfort and long-term energy costs. Joniec Plumbing offers expert advice and professional installations, ensuring you get the right ducted heating system tailored to your home and lifestyle.
Electric ducted reverse-cycle air conditioning efficiently provides both heating and cooling through ducts connected to a central indoor unit and an outdoor compressor. It operates by extracting heat from outdoor air and distributing it throughout your home.

Gas ducted heating systems offer rapid warmth by drawing air into a gas furnace and distributing heated air through ductwork. It is a widely-used heating solution in many Victorian homes, known for quick and effective heating capabilities.

The right hot water system choice affects your comfort and long-term energy expenses. Joniec Plumbing delivers expert consultation and professional installations, ensuring you get the most suitable solution for your property and usage patterns.
Gas hot water systems have long been a trusted option for households with access to natural gas. These systems are known for their quick recovery times and relatively low running costs compared to older electric systems. There are two primary types:
These systems heat and store water in an insulated tank. Hot water is drawn from the top of the tank while cold water enters at the bottom, triggering the burner when hot water is used.
These systems heat water only when it’s needed. As water flows through the unit, it passes over a gas burner that heats it in real-time.
Electric systems are common in Victorian homes, especially in apartments and older properties. They’re available as both storage and instantaneous models, with some designed to run on off-peak tariffs to reduce operating costs. While they’re the cheapest to install, they can be among the most expensive to operate without solar or heat pump integration.
These systems heat water using an electric element and store it in an insulated tank, usually ranging from 25L to 400L.
These units use a powerful element to heat water on demand, without the need for a storage tank.
Solar hot water systems are a smart and sustainable choice for homeowners looking to lower long-term energy bills and reduce carbon emissions. They use roof-mounted solar collectors to absorb the sun’s energy and heat water, which is then stored in a tank for household use. These systems are often paired with a gas or electric booster to ensure hot water supply during cloudy periods.
✔ Whole-home comfort – No cold spots, unlike split systems.
✔ Energy efficiency – Modern systems (e.g., Braemar, Brivis) have high star ratings.
✔ Discreet & quiet – No bulky units in living spaces.
✔ Zoning options – Heat only the rooms you use to save energy.
Pro Tip: Annual servicing by a licensed technician (like Joniec Plumbing) keeps your system running efficiently and extends its lifespan.
🔴 No hot water? – Could be a faulty thermostat, power issue, or sediment buildup.
🔴 Leaking tank? – Often means internal corrosion (time for a replacement).
🔴 Discoloured water? – Rust in the tank or pipe issues.
🔴 Strange noises? – Sediment buildup or heating element failure.
Did You Know? The average lifespan of a hot water system is 8–12 years. If yours is older, consider upgrading to a more efficient model.
✅ House size – Larger homes need higher-capacity units.
✅ Energy source – Gas is cheaper to run than electric in most cases.
✅ Zoning options – Save energy by heating only occupied rooms.
✅ Brand reliability – We recommend Braemar, Brivis, or Temperzone for durability.
✅ Household size – A family of 4 needs a 250–315L tank (or continuous flow).
✅ Energy costs – Gas & solar are cheaper long-term than standard electric.
✅ Space availability – Heat pumps and solar need outdoor space.
✅ Rebates & incentives – Check for Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) discounts.
Expert Tip: Regular servicing can lower energy bills by up to 20% and prevent costly breakdowns.
