Heating your Melbourne Home with Gas Heaters

As the scorching Australian summer approaches, many of us are eagerly preparing for outdoor gatherings, barbecues, and pool parties. However, one aspect of preparation that often gets overlooked is gas appliance servicing for homeowners.

Gas heaters are an excellent way to heat your home quickly and cost-effectively. 

Factors to Consider When Heating Your Home

When choosing a gas heater to warm your Hampton home, it is essential to take several factors into account of the rooms you are trying to heat:

• The floor area of the room(s) you want to heat
• Ceiling height of the room
• The number of rooms you want to heat 
• Insulation of the room
• Amount of direct sunlight the room gets
• Size of the windows in the room
  

Choosing the Right Size Heater

Your room size dictates the size of the gas heater you need. If a gas heater is too small, it can’t adequately heat the area; conversely, if you buy a gas heater that is too large means wasted money upfront and higher ongoing running costs.

A gas heater’s warming capacity is not just about the room size; it is also about how quickly the heater can warm the space.

There are many types of gas heaters available on the market.

Servicing Your Gas Heater
