Pyrox Ducted Gas Heating Melbourne
Safety-First Assessments and CO Testing for Older Pyrox Heaters
King & Sons assesses and services the Pyrox ducted gas heating Melbourne households have kept running for decades, and every visit starts with a carbon monoxide test before any other work. Pyrox heating covers ducted systems, floor heaters, space heaters and wall furnaces across Melbourne's older housing, and most of the units we attend are no longer in production, with parts for the oldest models now hard to find. Where a safe repair is possible, we carry it out, and where the parts have run out, we map a clear path to a replacement.
Should You Service or Replace Your Pyrox Heater?
A Pyrox system still running in a Melbourne home today is likely 25 to 35 years old. The honest question is not whether it can be serviced, but whether parts still exist for it and whether its heat exchanger is still safe.
King & Sons still attends any Pyrox heater Melbourne homeowners call us about, in every suburb. When genuine parts are available and the heat exchanger clears a CO test, we complete the service and repair. When parts cannot be sourced or the heat exchanger has cracked, we advise against further use and quote a replacement during the same visit.
Pyrox systems serviced every year can still run reliably. Units that have gone years without attention, especially subfloor ducted systems and floor heaters in Melbourne period homes, carry a much higher carbon monoxide and heat exchanger risk. Energy Safe Victoria advises owners of Pyrox Heritage space heaters not to use them until a qualified gasfitter has serviced them. A King & Sons site visit gives you the full, accurate picture first.
Why Choose King & Sons for Your Pyrox System?

Is it still possible to service a Pyrox heater in Melbourne?
Yes, in some cases. If genuine parts can still be found for your specific model and the heat exchanger shows no leakage under CO testing, King & Sons will complete the service. The plain truth is that parts for older Pyrox systems are scarce and getting scarcer. At the assessment visit, we set out exactly which parts are obtainable and whether service, repair or replacement makes sense.
What replaces a Pyrox ducted gas heater or floorheater in Melbourne?
A Pyrox ducted heater replacement Melbourne job usually goes to a Rinnai BX5, Brivis StarPro or Bonaire MB4, each of which connects to existing ductwork and is normally fitted in one day, or to a Braemar Ecostar where efficiency comes first. Bonaire is also Pyrox’s sister brand under Climate Technologies. Pyrox floor heaters and wall furnaces are usually replaced with a reverse cycle split system, which heats and cools the same room more efficiently, and King & Sons quotes both options at the assessment.

Pyrox Replacement Options: Brands King & Sons Installs
When a Pyrox heater Melbourne homeowners depend on can no longer run safely, these are the systems we fit most often. See which ducted gas heating brands we fit, read about Pyrox’s sister legacy brand Vulcan, or consider ducted air conditioning for whole-home cooling as well.
Brivis
Among the most installed ducted gas heating brands in Melbourne. The StarPro plugs into existing ductwork in a one-day changeover, with ICE cooling available for year-round comfort.
Rinnai
Rinnai's BX5 runs without a condensate drain, which suits homes replacing an older subfloor Pyrox system. The SP6 6-star delivers the best long-term efficiency in the range.
Bonaire
The MB4 can idle at a tenth of its capacity and includes 4-zone Navigator control. A strong fit for outer suburban Melbourne homes.
