How to Buy the Best Heating System for Your Home
When the winter chill sets in, you’ll need to strike a balance between keeping your house warm while still keeping your energy bills manageable. This tutorial will show you how to heat your home more efficiently while using less electricity.
Electric heaters, gas heaters, and reverse-cycle air conditioners are the most common heaters. Consider a few criteria before making your decision. Let’s take a closer look at each of these categories.
Electric Heaters
If you don’t plan on utilizing them in a broad area or for a lengthy time, they are a fine alternative. This is the ideal option if you need to heat just one person or a small space.
Gas Heater
Some individuals prefer the sensation of gas heating over electric heaters and air conditioners, and gas heaters are more efficient and cost-effective. If you have access to reticulated natural gas (gas supplied to your home) or bottled LPG, you can use a gas heater, but you must ensure that you have the correct model for the type of gas you have available.
Condensation and mould growth can occur due to gas heating because of the little amounts of waste products produced. Many studies have linked the emissions of nitrous dioxide and fine particles to asthma in children and other respiratory illnesses.
Even though these types of heaters are less likely to have this danger since they vent most of the waste outdoors, they still have a tiny quantity of pollutants released into the interior air, so this risk is not zero.
Reverse-cycle Air Conditioners
Heating individual rooms and huge areas like an open-plan living area. Because of the heat pump technology they utilize, they may generate three or more heat units for every unit of power they require, making them far more cost-effective than using portable electric heaters to heat the same room.
When it comes to purchasing and installing a reverse-cycle air conditioner, it’s a little more pricey than a portable electric heater.
How can you save money on your heating bill?
- Your home should be as thermally efficient as possible, allowing you to keep heat inside during the winter and outside during the summer, respectively.
- Get rid of any drafts. Windows and doors should be properly sealed. Close off any spaces you don’t need to heat using draught excluders and door snakes, if necessary. Even if you’re using an outside gas heater, you’ll still need to open the windows.
- Insulate the ceiling with spray foam insulation. Insulating the walls and flooring is ideal. Hard floors benefit from the added insulation provided by floor rugs.
- Adding curtains and shades to windows and doors will help keep the cold.
