Tips for buying a heater

Consider and compare the energy efficiency rating, purchase cost and long term running costs of each heating system. Often heating products with the highest initial outlay are the cheapest to run and last longer than more moderately priced products. Some expensive units can be the most economical option in the long term and can also be more energy efficient.

The actual running costs of a system will depend on a range of variables, including:

• the size and efficiency of your heater
• operating temperature
• hours of operation
• size of your home
• level of home energy efficiency.

The most economical central heaters are:

• zoned, high efficiency (4-5 stars), natural gas ducted heaters

Here are some short tips on buying heater:

• If you only want to heat a small area or use the heater only occasionally, you probably want a heater that's cheap to buy, even if it's dearer to run than more expensive types.
• If you want to heat a large area for long periods, you need an efficient heater with low running costs. So it may make sense to pay more initially for the heater and its installation, because it'll pay off in the long run.
