I have been running a Rinnai gas heater in the main living area for nearly 20 years and it is great in winter. I find the heat from the ducted system feels somehow suffocating but the heat from the gas heater is great and covers a massive area. Most come with timers etc so very convenient.
Lol I always hear a “tick” sound around the gas outlet. Is it normal?
Next to the gas outlet, theres a switch board, at first I thought its coming from the switch board but I dont think so. I still couldn’t figure out where the sound coming from but I am sure its around that area.
Double check you don’t have some gas bottles left on the outside of the house. They might still be connected, and i don’t know the pressure in the pipe could be causing some ‘ticking’.
Its Derren the Dog, tapping out a morse code SOS along the copper piping hoping someone at the outlet will hear. He’s been kidnapped by Rattus again, and he’s locked under the house.

I swear I don’t work for Rinnai :)
You should really stop using it, particularly if you have a ducted aircon system as well. Unless it’s vented they’re quite bad for you. They banned them in schools about 15 years ago now because of it. Here’s a page from nsw health: https://www.health.nsw.gov.au/environment/factsheets/Pages/unflued-gas-heaters.aspx
And from Victoria health https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/healthyliving/gas-heating-health-and-safety-issues
They’re just not worth the risk, particularly because reverse cycle aircon is cheaper to run.
Yikes. Looks like I have some googling to do.

I have two gas outlets inside the house and I have never heard any sounds coming from either. At least from my experience that does not sound normal.
Yea probably something else. Not sure how to pin point the sound source ? Please give me ideas if you guys have any . thanks
Heres a couple thoughts,
