Tips when choosing a heating system

When choosing a home heating system, it is worth considering the size of your space, the duration and the frequency required to heat your space, as well as the long-term operation costs. With these pointers, the cold will never bother you in any way, physically or financially!

• A portable space heater will probably suffice for a small apartment during the winter.
• When in need of heating on a regular basis, consider buying a fixed space heating system for the living area and portable heaters for the less used rooms.
• Central heating systems may only be worth it if you have multiple rooms that needs to be heated for 3 or more months annually.
• Gas heating systems are more economical and produce lower levels of greenhouse gases. If not available, a reverse-cycle air conditioner is the next best choice.
• Match your electrical heating appliance to the size of your space. To get the ideal kilowattage, get the volume of your room in meters and divide it by 20.
• Look for electric heater appliances that turn off automatically when they overheat.
• Consider a reverse-cycle air conditioner with a high efficiency rating, a timer and a thermostat. Note that these units may not always work in very cold conditions.
