What to look for in heaters on sale
Match the heater to the room before comparing prices. Heater type determines how warmth is generated and distributed: column heaters suit sustained background warmth in bedrooms and living areas, ceramic and fan heaters heat a space quickly, panel heaters run quietly for sleeping areas, gas heaters handle larger living spaces, and infrared heaters spot-heat outdoor or semi-outdoor areas.
Capacity matters as much as type. Portable electric heaters range from 1,200W to 2,400W, with lower wattages suited to small rooms and 2,200W to 2,400W suited to larger living rooms and open-plan spaces. Gas heaters are measured in megajoules per hour instead.
Heaters on sale by type
Heater type determines how the appliance generates and distributes warmth, which affects running costs, heat-up time and the room size it can handle.
Heater type | How it works | Best suited to |
|---|---|---|
Oil-filled columns absorb and radiate heat, warming a room gradually and holding a consistent temperature. Silent, with no fan noise. | Bedrooms and living areas where sustained background warmth is the priority. | |
Wall-mountable electric heaters that distribute warmth across a flat surface. Quieter than fan heaters. | Bedrooms and sleeping areas where fan noise is undesirable. | |
A ceramic element with a fan distributes warm air quickly. Heats a room faster than column or panel models. | Spaces that need rapid warmth on demand. | |
The most compact and portable format, with high heat output for its size. Generates fan noise and generally uses more power than other types for sustained use. | Spot heating smaller spaces. | |
Produce heat from natural gas or LPG with strong heat output. Require adequate ventilation. | Larger living spaces where electric heating would be expensive to run at equivalent output. | |
Heat people and objects directly rather than warming the air. | Spot heating and outdoor or semi-outdoor areas where warming the ambient air is not practical. | |
Combine a heater with a visual flame effect. | Living rooms where the fireplace is also a design feature. |
Heater capacity and room size
Heater capacity is measured in watts and determines how much area the unit can heat effectively. Matching capacity to room size is the most practical first step when comparing heaters on sale.
Capacity | Room size | Typical rooms |
|---|---|---|
Up to 1,200W | Small rooms up to 12 square metres | Bedrooms, studies and small offices |
1,500W to 2,000W | Medium rooms up to 20 square metres | Standard bedrooms and small living rooms |
2,200W to 2,400W | Larger spaces up to 30 square metres | Larger living rooms and open-plan spaces |
Gas heaters (measured in MJ/h) | A 25 MJ/h unit handles a large open-plan living space | Large open-plan living areas |
Key heater features to compare
Running cost is the most important long-term consideration when comparing heaters on sale. An electric heater with a lower purchase price can cost significantly more to run over a winter than a more efficient model with a higher upfront cost.
Features to compare across heaters on sale:
Thermostat: an adjustable thermostat cycles the heater on and off to hold the target temperature rather than running at full output continuously, which reduces electricity use.
Timer and programmable settings: let the heater turn on before you wake up or arrive home, reducing the time it runs while the room is empty.
Safety features: overheat protection and a tip-over switch automatically cut power if the heater is knocked over or reaches an unsafe temperature.
Oscillation: rotates the heating element or fan to spread warm air across a wider area rather than directing it one way.
Energy consumption: measured in watts. Most portable electric heaters range from 1,200W to 2,400W, and lower wattage settings are typically sufficient for maintaining temperature once the room has warmed.
Wi-Fi connectivity: available on selected premium models for remote control and scheduling via a smartphone app.
Wheels and handles: useful on column heaters that move between rooms across the season.

How to buy a heater on sale
Identify the room size in square metres. As a guide, a 1,200W heater suits small rooms up to around 15 square metres, while 2,000W to 2,400W suits medium rooms up to 25 square metres.
Choose the heater type: column for sustained background warmth, ceramic or fan for rapid heat-up, panel for quiet bedrooms, gas for large living spaces, infrared for outdoor or semi-outdoor areas.
Check for a thermostat and timer. Both reduce running costs by stopping the heater from running when it does not need to.
Confirm safety features. An overheat cut-out and tip-over switch are worth checking, particularly for households with children or pets.
For gas heaters, confirm whether the room has adequate ventilation and whether flued or unflued installation is appropriate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Heating is one part of the home comfort range at The Good Guys. Sales also run on cooling, fans, technology, kitchen appliances and the rest of the home appliance categories. The full deals directory:
The best time to buy a heater on sale in Australia is generally during EOFY, Black Friday or Boxing Day. These events produce the widest range of sales across electric, ceramic, oil column, panel and gas heaters from Goldair, Dimplex, De'Longhi, Noirot, Heller and Omega.
Outside the peak sale periods, two situations are worth watching:
When a current model is superseded by a newer release, the previous version typically drops in price.
Stock movement events at individual store level can produce localised sales outside the main national sale periods.
The Black Friday heater sale in November brings some of the broadest heater sales of the year, particularly on prior-generation models, with sale pricing typically extending through Cyber Monday into early December.
The Boxing Day heater sale in late December covers a broad range of heaters and is often the strongest window for sale pricing on prior-year stock.
The EOFY sale covers heaters on sale from Goldair, Dimplex, De'Longhi, Noirot, Heller and Omega across the range.
The Good Guys carries the full range of heater types. Electric fan and ceramic heaters suit small to medium rooms with quick warmth on demand, and work well in bathrooms and home offices. Oil column heaters deliver sustained, consistent warmth for living rooms and bedrooms, with thermostat control for efficient running. Panel heaters suit wall-mounted installation in smaller rooms.
Gas heaters provide higher heat output for larger spaces, and outdoor heaters extend entertaining areas into the cooler months. Reverse cycle air conditioners provide whole-home heating at the lowest running cost per unit of warmth. See the heater buying guide for a full type-by-type breakdown.
Reverse cycle air conditioners provide the most heat per kilowatt of electricity consumed because they transfer heat rather than generate it, typically delivering 3 to 4 units of heat per unit of electricity.
Among standalone portable heaters, column heaters and low-wattage panel heaters running at 1,000W to 1,500W are generally the most economical for sustained use. Fan heaters produce heat quickly but use more electricity per hour for the same warmth as a thermostat-controlled column heater. See the heater buying guide for energy use comparisons across heater types.
Ceramic fan heaters and standard fan heaters heat a room the fastest due to the combination of rapid element warm-up and forced air distribution. They suit situations where quick warmth on demand is the priority, such as bathrooms or home offices used intermittently.
Column heaters and panel heaters take longer to reach operating temperature but maintain more consistent ambient warmth once settled, making them the better choice for sustained living-room or bedroom use. Radiant heaters direct heat at people and objects directly rather than warming the air, useful for outdoor or semi-enclosed spaces. Browse the full heater range for current sale pricing.
An oil column heater running on its thermostat setting is typically one of the more economical portable heater options for sustained winter use. As at 2026, running a 2,400W column heater at full power costs an estimated $0.60 to $0.85 per hour at average Australian electricity rates, but a thermostat-controlled model runs at lower average consumption than this once the room reaches the target temperature.
For whole-home heating across multiple rooms, a reverse cycle split system is usually cheaper per unit of warmth than running multiple portable heaters simultaneously. The heater buying guide includes a running-cost comparison across heater types.
The Good Guys carries heaters from Fujitsu, Panasonic, Dimplex, De'Longhi, Noirot and Goldair across electric, oil column, panel, ceramic and outdoor formats. Fujitsu and Panasonic dominate the reverse cycle split system category for households wanting full-room heating at low running cost.
De'Longhi and Dimplex are widely chosen for oil column heaters with thermostat control. Goldair covers the accessible end with fan and ceramic heaters for spot heating. See the heater buying guide for more heater comparisons.
The brand mix shifts as stock moves, but the heater range at The Good Guys typically covers De'Longhi, Dyson, Goldair, Heller, Dimplex, Rinnai and Omega Altise. Use the brand filter on this page to see which brands have current deals, then compare models within the brand you prefer.
