Vulcan no longer makes ducted gas heating, so if you still have a Vulcan ducted gas heater it is likely to be more than 20 years old. Due to the age of all these systems, they need to be serviced on a regular basis. This is to make sure there are no fire or carbon monoxide risks when they are used. At HR Heating and Cooling, we specialise in Vulcan gas heater repairs Melbourne wide, providing same-day service to restore your unit quickly.

These reliable workhorses have kept families warm for decades, but like any mechanical system, they need expert attention once they get older.

How to Know When You Need a Vulcan Ducted Gas Service

Your heater might be showing signs of age through a variety of symptoms that indicate a Vulcan ducted gas service is needed. Understanding these warning signs helps you act quickly before a total breakdown leaves you without heating at all.

System Won’t Start or Keeps Shutting Down

One of the most frustrating issues homeowners face is when their Vulcan system refuses to start or repeatedly shuts down. A faulty thermocouple, blocked pilot light, or electrical control issues could be the culprit–all problems our technicians can diagnose and repair quickly.

Poor Heating Performance and High Gas Bills

If your Vulcan heater runs constantly but fails to warm your property effectively, you’re not alone. This inefficiency typically results from worn components operating well past their service life. Our Vulcan ducted gas service includes checking heat exchangers, cleaning burners, and making sure air can flow freely through your ductwork.

Strange Noises and Odours

Unusual sounds like banging, whistling, or rumbling from your Vulcan heater require immediate attention. Similarly, any gas odours or burning smells indicate potentially serious issues. These symptoms often point to problems with the combustion process or mechanical components that require urgent professional assessment.
