Heating tipsSelect a heater that will heat your room faster and more efficiently. It is always better to get a larger heater than the room needs as this will heat the space quicker. Heating a cold room takes longer than a warm room, so fix draughts and heat loss areas around doors and windows. Don’t waste your money heating the outside air.

• Thermostats These allow the heater to register the ambient room temperature and switch the heater on and off automatically to maintain the set temperature.

• Timers Leaving heaters on for too long can be a waste of money. A timer that switches the heater on or off automatically will save you money. If your heater doesn’t feature a timer, then separate timers can be used (check the manufacturer’s recommendations).

• Energy Meters A great tool that shows the level of ‘energy/power’ your heater is drawing and helps you monitor your energy use throughout the winter.

Safety tips• Be careful where you position your heater, there needs to be at least 1 metre

clearance from curtains, furniture and even people.

• Do not use your heater to warm or dry clothes. Keep your clothes rack at least 1 metre from your heater.

• Do not put heaters in high traffic areas; this will reduce the risk of them being knocked over.

• All homes should have smoke alarms installed. Never leave heaters unattended, especially when children are present.

Ceramic heaters come as portable or tower versions and are also available as wall mounted versions.

Tower and wall mounted ceramic heaters are more effective for heating rooms due to their size.

Premium models often include a step-down thermostat which reduces the power usage of the heater as the room nears the pre-set temperature.

Micathermic HeatersMicathermic panel heaters combine technology from both convection and reflective heating to efficiently heat air and surfaces. The faster a heater can bring a room up to temperature, the less power it uses, making it more eco-friendly.

A micathermic heater will usually reach its maximum heat output within 60 seconds. They are also popular because of their quiet operation and have no glowing parts, making them really safe to use.

Panel Heaters - Manual Panel heaters are convection heaters and provide warmth based on the principle of hot air attracting cool air over a large panel surface. Air is drawn over the element and rises up through the unit and out the top through vents.

Panel heaters are typically wall mounted and provide efficient heating in lounges, hallways and bedrooms. Great for • Lounges, hallways, & bedrooms • Heat pump complementary heating • Quiet operation • Simple manual operation

A dehumidifier reduces the level of humidity by using a small fan to draw damp air over a refrigerated surface. The water in the air condenses and drips into a collection bucket.

Dehumidifiers can extract up to 20 litres* per day and some have an adjustable humidity control that can be set to your preferred level.

Great for

• Damp or humid homes • Personal well being
