Braemar is one of Australia's most established heating brands, designed, made and owned here since 1938 and now part of Seeley International. Its gas ducted range runs from a high-efficiency new install right through to a straight swap for a tired Brivis Buffalo, with the premium Ecostar series rated up to 7 stars and the Rebuff series built specifically to replace older heaters. At BM Heating & Cooling we supply, install and replace the full Braemar gas ducted heating range across Melbourne, size the heater to your home, set up zoning and the MagIQtouch controller, and hand it over tested by licensed gas fitters.

Braemar Gas Ducted Heating, Australian Made by Seeley


Braemar has been building heaters in Australia since 1938 and is part of Seeley International, an Australian-owned manufacturer. That means a gas ducted heater engineered for Australian homes and winters, backed by a national parts and service network.

A Braemar gas ducted system warms the whole home from one central heater. It draws cool air back through a return-air grille, warms it over a sealed heat exchanger heated by a gas burner, then pushes the warm air through insulated ducts to vents in every room. Braemar splits its gas ducted line-up into two ranges: the premium Ecostar series for new installs and efficiency-focused upgrades, and the Rebuff series built to drop into the space left by an older heater.

  • Australian brand: designed, made and owned here since 1938, part of Seeley International.
  • Two ranges: Ecostar up to 7 star for new installs, Rebuff for straightforward replacements.
  • One system, whole home: even, fast warmth across living areas and bedrooms.

How a Braemar Gas Ducted System Works


Braemar gas ducted heating burns natural gas cleanly inside a sealed heat exchanger, then moves that heat around your home with a fan and ducts. The gas never touches the air you breathe, so the warm air stays clean.

  • Braemar heater unit: the central heater, internal in the roof space or external outside, with the gas burner and heat exchanger.
  • Sealed heat exchanger: heats the air without mixing combustion gases into it, for clean, safe warmth.
  • Stealth Softair fan: the Ecostar fan system moves warm air quietly and evenly through the home.
  • Return air grille: draws room air back to the heater to be warmed again.
  • Insulated ducts and vents: carry warm air to slim ceiling or floor outlets in each room.
  • MagIQtouch controller: the touchscreen wall control that sets temperature, fan speed, timers and zones.

The Braemar Gas Ducted Heating Range


Braemar makes a gas ducted heater for every home and budget across two ranges. The premium Ecostar series is the efficiency leader, available from 3 star up to a 7-star model, with heating outputs from around 16 kW to 31 kW. The Rebuff series is the purpose-built replacement, designed to drop into the space left by a Brivis Buffalo or other older heater. Here is how the current range compares.

Star Ratings, Zoning & MagIQtouch Control


Star ratings: gas ducted heaters are rated for energy efficiency, and a higher star rating uses less gas for the same warmth. The Braemar Ecostar range spans 3, 4, 5, 6 and a 7-star model, so a 7-star Ecostar is noticeably cheaper to run over a Melbourne winter than an entry-level unit.

Zoned heating: Braemar Ecostar supports zoning, so you can split the home into areas and heat the living zones by day and the bedrooms at night without warming empty rooms.

MagIQtouch control: Braemar gas ducted heaters run from the MagIQtouch controller, a touchscreen wall control for temperature, fan speed, timers and zones. It is standard on the Ecostar range and an optional upgrade on the Rebuff series.

Natural gas or LPG: select Ecostar models are available in natural gas or propane versions, so homes off the natural gas network can still run a Braemar ducted heater.

Why Choose Braemar


Australian Made Since 1938

Designed, made and owned in Australia by Seeley International, so you get a heater built for Australian homes with national parts and service behind it.

Up to 7-Star Efficiency

The Ecostar range reaches a 7-star model, so you can pick the efficiency level that suits your budget and cut your winter gas running costs.

Stealth Softair Comfort

The Ecostar Stealth Softair fan system moves warm air quietly and evenly through the home, for gentle, whole-house warmth.

MagIQtouch Control

Run temperature, fan speed, timers and zones from the MagIQtouch touchscreen wall controller, simple and clear to use.

Built to Replace

The Rebuff series is made to replace a Brivis Buffalo and other older heaters, with brackets and gas inlet pre-matched to your existing setup.

7 Year Warranty

A 7-year comprehensive residential warranty plus 10 years on the heat exchanger and burner, backed by regular servicing.

Add-On Cooling Through the Same Ducts


A Braemar gas ducted heater covers winter, and select Ecostar models are add-on cooling compatible for summer. Where a model supports it, cooled air is delivered through the same ducts and vents as the heater, so you get heating and cooling from one ducted system with one MagIQtouch controller. We confirm cooling compatibility for your chosen model, and it can be planned with the heater or added later.

Braemar Warranty

Braemar gas ducted heaters come with a 7-year comprehensive warranty for residential use through participating dealers, plus 10-year cover on the heat exchanger and burner. Commercial applications receive a 5-year warranty.

Extended warranty terms require purchase through an authorised dealer and regular servicing. We confirm the exact warranty for the model you choose as part of your quote, and we service Braemar systems to keep that cover valid.

Our Braemar Installation & Replacement Process


1. Free onsite assessment: we visit your home, check the roof space or subfloor, gas supply and layout, and work out the right Braemar model, size and outlet positions.

2. Model recommendation & quote: we recommend a Braemar Ecostar or Rebuff model and star rating to suit your home and budget, plan the ducts and any zoning, and give you a clear, itemised quote.

3. Licensed installation: our licensed gas fitters install the Braemar heater, run the ducts and outlets, connect the gas safely and set up the MagIQtouch controller, often in a day for a straightforward Rebuff changeover.

4. Testing & handover: we commission the system, carry out a carbon monoxide safety test, balance the airflow and show you how to run the heater before we leave.
