Braemar Ducted Heating Service Melbourne | Professional Maintenance

Q: How often should I service my Braemar ducted heating in Melbourne?

Braemar generally recommends professional servicing every 1 to 2 years, depending on how heavily the system is used and the age of the unit. If your heater runs most days across winter or you’ve had past faults, annual servicing is usually the safer option. Regular servicing helps keep combustion efficient, reduces unexpected breakdowns during peak winter, and supports safer operation through proper testing.

Q: How long does Braemar ducted heating service take in Melbourne?

A comprehensive Braemar service typically takes up to 1 hour, depending on the model series and what we find during testing. Ecostar diagnostics can take longer due to electronic controls, while other units follow different maintenance protocols. We don’t rush safety testing because the value of a service is in the checks and verification, not the speed.

Older Braemar heaters could need servicing when you need them most, during cold snaps, weekends, and peak winter when bookings fill fast. When a ducted system stops heating properly, it does more than make the house uncomfortable. It can raise safety concerns, spike running costs, and leave you guessing whether the unit is safe to keep using.

At Craig’s Gas & Plumbing, we’ve been delivering Braemar ducted heating service Melbourne across the western suburbs since 1998. Our licenced team understands Braemar models from older systems through to newer Ecostar units, and we focus on safe, manufacturer-aligned servicing that restores reliable heat. Call (03) 9379 1733 when your family’s comfort depends on getting it right the first time.

Twenty-Six Years Perfecting Braemar Ducted Heating Service Melbourne Wide

Braemar systems benefit from technicians who know the model-specific checks, not just general heating maintenance. We’ve diagnosed Ecostar ignition problems in Keilor homes, replaced ReBuff components in Sunshine properties, and serviced Supernova units across St Albans neighbourhoods. Each model has its own quirks, and recognising them early helps prevent repeat call-outs and mid-winter breakdowns.

We have also helped with big maintenance projects, like fixing gas appliances in more than 5,500 Department of Human Services properties. To keep people safe, that kind of work needs to be done with strict safety rules, careful record-keeping, and thorough testing for carbon monoxide.

Our service vehicles stock a strong range of Braemar parts to reduce delays. Fan motors, gas valves, ignition assemblies, and other parts that are often replaced can break down in any model series. Having these parts on hand helps us fix problems faster when winter nights call for quick heating solutions.

Complete Braemar Ducted Heating Service Process Melbourne Properties

Braemar ducted heating services in Melbourne needs regular maintenance that follows the manufacturer’s instructions. We take a full approach that includes all the important parts of the system:

Model identification that confirms the exact Braemar series so that the right service procedure is used
Testing for carbon monoxide with calibrated tools to find dangerous problems early
Checking the heat exchanger for signs of wear and stress that could make things unsafe
Cleaning the burner gets rid of debris that makes combustion less efficient.
Checks and lubrication of the fan motor, if needed, to keep it running smoothly
Control circuit testing checks that electronic parts work within their specifications.
Ductwork inspection that finds airflow problems that make things less comfortable and less efficient
How to measure efficiency keeping track of the real heating output compared to the rated output

Braemar systems also have problems that are common to all models but are easy to miss if you don’t know what you’re looking for. Ecostar units can develop ignition timing faults. Some ReBuff models need close attention to heat exchanger condition. Supernova systems often require careful checking of control connections and fault codes. We’ve worked through these problems many times, so diagnosis is faster, and repairs are more accurate.

Melbourne winters don’t wait for convenient scheduling, and heating faults rarely do either. We offer same-day appointments where possible across the western suburbs, especially when a lack of heating affects vulnerable household members. You’ll get clear communication, a proper diagnosis, and a service outcome you can rely on.

Braemar ducted heating service costs depend on model complexity and the maintenance work required. Ecostar systems need different procedures than ReBuff units, and older Braemar models can require extra time for thorough safety verification. Every quote reflects real service requirements, not a generic estimate that changes after the job starts.

All Braemar service work includes detailed safety checks, performance verification, and documentation of what was tested and cleaned. Pricing is GST-inclusive, so there are no surprises at invoicing. If urgent repairs are required during servicing, we’ll explain the options clearly, and prioritise safety first.
