Home Heating Options for Winter in Melbourne

Winter has swept into Melbourne early this year, so now is the time to act to ensure you stay warm and cosy in the months ahead. With today’s range of home heating options there’s no reason your home can’t be warm, dry, energy efficient and stylish this winter. Popular home heating options include gas fireplaces , wood heaters, ducted heating systems, standard and split air conditioning and hydronic heating . Woodpecker, Melbourne’s home heating specialists, offer free advice on heating options that can be incorporated into new or existing homes. They can answer any questions you have about the heating options discussed below.

Everyone loves the ambience of fireplaces. Nothing beats the comforting glow of gently flickering flames on a cold winter’s day. Contemporary gas fireplaces are clean burning, easy to use and offer style and warmth with the flick of a switch. A few popular brands include Jetmaster fireplaces , Heat & Glo fireplaces and Regency fireplaces , but there is a wide range of gas fireplaces that can be installed indoors or out, to fit with any style and budget. Outdoor gas fireplaces look fantastic and can extend the usable season of your outdoor living spaces.

Home air conditioning is (one of)* the most popular heating system(s)* across Australia. Because air conditioners cool as well as heat your home, you are investing in a system that you can use year round. They are well suited to Melbourne homes that require temperature moderation in both summer and winter. Air conditioning systems can be wall mounted or ducted (split) to any room throughout your home, and you have the choice of gas or electric heating systems. Brivis ducted heating is one Australia’s favourite gas systems, and Daikin air conditioning is an extremely popular choice of electric system, but again there is a range of options to meet all needs and budgets. Air conditioning systems provide excellent control and instant warmth to any room of your house.

For constant, even heat distribution throughout your home, hydronic heating is very appealing. In some European countries hydronic heating accounts for 70 percent of heating installations, and it is becoming more popular here in Melbourne. Hydronic heating uses a sophisticated electronic controller coupled with a high efficiency water boiler. Using wall panels, or underfloor installation in new builds, hydronic heating systems radiant warmth into your home, like the sun. Underfloor hydronic heating delivers perfect, even heat distribution, without any cold or hot spots. One of hydronic heating’s many benefits is that each room can be individually thermostatically controlled, providing the ultimate in comfort and flexibility.
