Whether you prefer the ritual of lighting a wood fire or like to pre-warm your home via wi-fi,
Rising energy costs and environmental concerns have many people thinking twice about their heating options. Fortunately, there are many different ways to warm the home, and with energy efficiency constantly improving, heating won’t cost the earth. Take your pick from reverse-cycle airconditioners that offer both heating and cooling, space-saving portable heaters, cosy fireplaces and more.
“Ask yourself, how big is the room or area you need to heat and what type of heater you want – radiant, which heats people and objects, or convection, which heats an entire room? And do you want heating alone or a year-round solution that provides heating and cooling?” says Scott Bazley, seasonal buyer at The Good Guys. Also think about your budget and how well the intended room or area is insulated.
