Heating your home: things to consider

When you are looking at new heating ideas, there are a couple of questions you may be considering:

 

What type of heating is suitable for me?

What functions do I want my system to have?

Will I buy a new one or convert my existing unit?

Alternatively, will I install particular shutters or blinds instead of a heater?

One way to narrow down your choice is to first decide if you would like an independent heating unit, or a dual function unit, such as a reverse cycle air conditioner or shutters or blinds, or even floor heating.

There are many benefits to these suggestions, for example, a wood fireplace creates a warm, inviting ambiance and you can select a colour scheme, finish and style that suits and attributes to your living space.

On the other hand, an air conditioning unit allows a greater flexibility on the location of unit, and the option of cooling in the summer.

You may want to combine security with your heating solution, a cold (and heat) resisting shutter or blind may be your answer.  These also come in different styles and colours.

 

There is also the option of converting your existing unit, instead of purchasing a new one.  Most households use electric, wood, propane, natural gas or solar power to fuel their heater. In researching and deciding which source and type is right for you, you will no doubt also be deliberating some of the important factors below:

·          Cost, initial and ongoing

·          Cash-back offers and rebates available for choosing particular sources, ie solar

·          Efficiency

·          Functionality

·          Heat strength

·          Size of the room to be heated

·          Which rooms to be heated (for example, heating the bathroom tiles)

·          Size of the unit

·          Finish of the product

·          Quality

·          How easy it is to use

·          The effect on the environment
