We use a wood heater. I’ve had a wood heater for as long as I can remember, I’ve visited people with gas and electric heaters and it’s just not the same

Column heaters are great. I feel that they don’t dry out the air as much and is a very gentle heat.

I have used a small column heater the last 2 winters ,I only use at night for a few hours it has turned out very economical.

ducted- and we have a clothes horse over a vent, and save on dryer costs

We use oil column heater, not sure if it is better than other heaters though.

We use neither of those. But have an oil column heater to take the chill out the air when its been a really cold night, generally we are able to get by with rugging up more, keeping doors closed off of areas we are not using, having good window coverings and door draught blockers also bringing out extra blankets to snuggle under. If we were able to we’d re open the fireplace and use this as a whole house heater as they’d be no nasty increase of electricity or gas bills.

I prefer gas but at the moment we are using a little electric fan heater and electric blankets!

We have ducted gas heating but only use it for one hour in the morning and at night before bed. During the day I keep the living area warm with a coonara wood heater, so I’m hoping our gas bill won’t be through the roof this year.

Reverse cycle airconditioning is a dry heat, and certainly dries your eyes out. Gas heating is much nicer but we have a wood fire which you simply cannot beat. Heats the whole house up, you’ve paid for your wood already so no big bills to shock you, and its just so cosy!

We like reverse cycle air conditioners.

We have reverse cycle a/c and use this only when it gets super cold. We leave the blinds up during the day so it warms the whole house.

I prefer the whole house to be warm as I do not like walking into a cold or different temperature room. We now have reverse cycle duct-ed air-conditioning.

We have a wood fire and there’s nothing better!

I would use what ever is cheapest…Maybe work out what it costs for you to run the aircon (in terms of electricity) and then compare that to buying a gas heater and see which comes out on top!

I have an ancient wall mount gas heater that warms up part of the house, I am thinking to use the wood heater with ducts all around the house should do the trick of warming the whole house nicely. I’m in the country and we have plenty of wood on the ground to collect.

I love my ducted heating – I think its gas

I love the kind of heat a gas heater emits. It’s warmer and seems to keep the house cosier for a while even once it’s off. We also have a split system but I don’t like using it. It just seems to suck all the oxygen out of the room and is either full blast or nothing. Only use this for a few minutes in the morning to take the chill off the room otherwise I avoid it. Depending on the space you want to heat, a panel heater is quite efficient to run and not too expensive to purchase.

In this old crappy house, I actually don’t have anything
Just warm socks, jammies and a few hundred blankets on everyone’s bed

Not exactly heating but I open up all the blinds during the day to let in as much heat as possible, use door snakes etc to ensure that heat stays in the house, wear lots of warm clothing like thermals. I prefer gas to air conditioners.

We have a reverse cycle AC split unit that we use sometimes just to take the chill out of the house but we mainly heat our home with our wood heater that warms the whole house in winter.
