Indoor Heating
How To
Warming up
How much heat do you
need?
Nobody likes to hear that winter is well
on its way, but making the transition
to the big chill is much more bearable
when your home is a cosy haven. We look
at the different ways to heat your home
throughout the winter months.
winter
More than 50% of your winter power bill is allocated
to heating your water and home, so to be comfortable
and conserve energy, it’s important to choose a heating
system that suits to your home.
by Je t’aime Hayer
Start by calculating the volume of each room. Measure
the size in metres (height x width x length), then divide
that room by 20 to give you an approximate kilowatt
(kW) rating of the heater you require. Also take into
consideration how much time is spent in the room –
living rooms and bedrooms require more heating than
bathrooms and kitchens.
What kind of heat?
There are different kinds of heat provided by the variety
of heaters.
Conduction = heat transfer (hot water bottle)
Convection = warm air (fan heater)
The recommended temperature for a living
area is 18°C, although for babies, children
and the elderly 21°C is more appropriate.
Radiation = emission of heat (oil heater)

Indoor Heating
How To
Heat pumps
Electric heaters
Meet the all-new NEO
Clever design, exceptional performance.
One of the most economical forms of heating available,
heat pumps can also cool your home in summer, making
them an attractive investment. Certain units offer the
additional beneits of air-iltering (ideal for those who
suffer from allergies) and de-humidiication. Heat pumps
produce more heat than the electricity it takes to run
them – in some cases up to three times as much. You have
the option of installing one in a main room or having the
system ducted through the residence. However, the units
and the installation costs can be high. A 3.5kW heat
pump is capable of heating a sizeable living area at a cost
of purchase and installation of around $2,000.
Portable electric heaters don’t emit fumes of toxic gases
and have the advantage of being able to be moved from
room to room. Electricity is a relatively cheap form of
heating and, as they convert 100% of the power used
into heat, electric heaters are considered eficient,
keeping running costs down.

used to turn heat off and on as required, such as to warm
bedrooms before they are used.
Gas heaters
Oil column heaters
Portable gas heaters are cost effective to buy and operate.
However, because they release carbon dioxide gas and
condensation (up to a litre of water per hour) into your
home, they can have adverse health effects, particularly
for those who suffer from respiratory disorders. It is
illegal to use gas heaters in bedrooms and wherever they
are used, you must remember to have a window ajar in
the room to maintain oxygen levels for occupants.
- Includes 2 year warranty and New Zealand based technical support.

As their name suggests, oil column heaters are filled
with oil, which slowly heats (by electricity) heating a
room by radiated heat. For those with young children,
oil column heaters offer a safe option as the surface
does not get hot enough to pose a threat and they can
be left unattended or to heat a room overnight.
