Heating Options - Christina from Tooradin

Question

My partner and I are building a new house in Tooradin and as theres no natural gas connection down that way, we're wondering what the most efficient heating would be? Ducted heating automatically comes with our new house but we assume this would need to be run off bottled gas? Do you have any ideas on the most efficient way to run the ducted heating?

Answer

The best choice for your gas ducted heating is bottled gas, the larger the bottle the less costly the gas is to purchase. Another option would be an Inverter Air Conditioning system, which will initially be more costly to purchase but the running costs will be considerably less than bottled gas and it will provide cooling in addition.
