When your gas ducted heating stops working properly in Keilor East, winter gets uncomfortable fast – especially on those frosty mornings walking out to the car or coming home after school pick-up.
Cold air from the vents, loud noises from the roof space or a system that just won’t start aren’t things you want to ignore.

We diagnose faults accurately, repair all brands, and make sure your system is running safely before we leave.
Common Gas Ducted Heating Faults We Repair
If your system is playing up, there’s a good chance it’s one of these issues:
➡️ Heater blowing cold air – burners not lighting, overheat lockouts, sensor faults or fan issues.
➡️ Ignition failure or no pilot – faulty igniter, flame sensor, gas valve or control board.
➡️ Intermittent heating or temperature swings – failing thermostat, sensors, or heat exchanger issues.
➡️ Strange noises – rattling, squealing, thumping or droning from fans, motors, belts or ducts.
➡️ Carbon monoxide concerns – CO alarm activation, visible flame problems, or suspected combustion issues.
➡️ Controller and thermostat problems – heater not responding, blank screens or incorrect temperature readings.
➡️ Gas burner not lighting properly – dirty burners, incorrect gas pressure or valve faults.
➡️ Poor airflow from vents – duct leaks, blockages, crushed ducts or fan faults.
Don’t wait for a total breakdown on the coldest night of the year – early repairs are usually cheaper and safer.
Signs Your Ducted Heating System Needs Urgent Repair
Switch the system off and call us promptly if you notice:
➡️ Carbon monoxide alarm sounding – treat it as an emergency; turn the heater off, ventilate the area and call for help.
➡️ No heat at all – could indicate a failed igniter, fan, gas valve, or serious control fault.
➡️ Sharp increase in gas bills – may point to burner, control or duct leakage issues.
➡️ The heater won’t start or cuts out quickly – often linked to capacitors, igniters, flame sensors or overheat safety trips.
We use diagnostic tools and testing to find the root cause. We’ll let you know what’s going on, if the fault can be repaired, or when it’s more economical in the long run to replace your ducted heating system.
What to Expect When You Book a Ducted Heating Repair for Your Keilor East Home
When you book gas ducted heating repairs in Keilor East, here’s what we typically do:
- Talk through the symptoms – what you’re hearing, feeling and seeing from the system.
- Visual inspection – heater, flue, ducts and return air are checked for obvious damage, leaks or corrosion.
- Safety and CO testing – we check for carbon monoxide and confirm the heater is safe to run while we diagnose.
- Electrical and gas tests – components, wiring, gas pressures and burners are tested against manufacturer specs.
- Component-level diagnosis – we isolate faulty parts (like sensors, igniters, motors or boards) instead of replacing everything.
- Repairs and part replacement – we’ll explain your options and pricing, then replace or repair faulty components with your approval.
- Full heat-cycle test – we run the system, check airflow and ensure all rooms are getting the heat they should.
- Clear handover – we explain what was fixed, any risks we’ve removed, and what to watch out for in future.
Where we find serious safety issues (like cracked heat exchangers), we’ll show you what we’ve found and discuss whether repair or replacement is the right move.
We Work With All Heating Brands – Old and New
ExtrordinAir repairs most gas ducted heating brands you’ll find in Keilor East, including Brivis, Bonaire, Braemar, and older or discontinued models such as Stadt, Omega, Vulcan, and more.

What Our Local Clients Say About ExtrordinAir
How Do I Know if My Heating Needs a Repair, or a Service?
A ducted heating service is routine maintenance. This includes cleaning, safety testing, tuning and checking components on a system that is likely still working. You may have started to notice some signs of wear, like uneven heating, or a slight noise, but the system still runs as required.
A ducted heating repair is fault-focused. If you have no heat, cold air, it won’t switch on, alarms, fault codes or error lights, it’s likely there has been a component failure requiring repairs.
If you’re not sure which you need for your Keilor East home, tell us what the heater is doing (or not doing). Either way, our callout fee for both service and repairs starts from $330.
What Happens if My Ducted Heating is Beyond Repair?
If your ducted gas system is unsafe or not worth repairing, you’ve got two options:
- Install a new gas ducted heater. We’ll reuse ducts and existing materials where possible – usually the least disruptive and often the lowest upfront cost for existing gas homes.
- Switch to electric reverse cycle (ducted or split systems) – higher upfront changes but can reduce long-term running costs and position your home for Victoria’s move towards efficient electric heating. You may also be eligible for VEU rebates up to $5,530 when switching from gas ducted heating to reverse cycle heating and cooling for your Keilor East home.
