Common Heater Types To Buy
Choosing the right heater in Australia comes down to your room size and power needs. Electric heaters plug directly into a standard power outlet, while gas heaters need a connection to natural gas or bottled LPG. The table below breaks down the most common types.
Heater Type | Best For | Popular Model |
|---|---|---|
Oil Column Heaters | Quiet, sustained bedroom warmth | |
Panel & Convection Heaters | Medium to large living spaces | Noirot 2400W Spot Plus Panel Heater. Dimplex and De'Longhi also make portable and wall-mounted panel heaters. |
Gas Heaters | Large open areas, if you have a gas hookup | Rinnai's range of portable and bayonet-connected units |
Bathroom 3-in-1 Units | Instant radiant heat in bathrooms | IXL Tastic Vivid, a ceiling-mounted exhaust, light and heat lamp unit |
Beyond these dedicated heaters, reverse cycle air conditioners cool in summer and heat in winter, electric fireplaces add ambience alongside warmth, and electric blankets give targeted personal heating for bedtime.
Room Size And Heater Capacity Requirements
Heater capacity is measured in watts or kilowatts, and larger spaces need more of it. As a guideline, well-insulated rooms with standard 2.4-metre ceilings need around 100 watts per square metre. Poorly insulated rooms need closer to 150 watts per square metre.
Capacity by room size:
Room Size | Wattage Needed |
|---|---|
10-15 sqm (small bedrooms) | 1000-1500 watts |
20-25 sqm (medium living areas) | 2000-2500 watts |
30+ sqm (large open-plan spaces) | 3000+ watts, or multiple units |
Ceiling height above 3 metres, large windows, and poor insulation all push up your heating requirement. The heater buying guide has detailed calculations for specific room configurations.
Best Room Heater Brands To Consider
Rinnai makes gas heaters built for efficient performance in Australian conditions. Dimplex specialises in electric heating, including panel heaters and electric fireplaces. DeLonghi makes oil-filled column heaters with an Italian design finish.
Other leading brands:
Brand | Known For |
|---|---|
Gas heaters and flued heating systems | |
French-designed panel and convector heaters | |
Personal heating solutions and electric blankets |

Are There Any Smart Features To Consider In A Space Heater?
Smart heaters connect to your home Wi-Fi network so you can control temperature from a smartphone app. Remote operation lets you turn heating on before you get home, and voice control through Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant lets you adjust it hands-free.
Other common features:
Weekly timers: programme different schedules for weekdays and weekends
Occupancy sensors: automatically reduce output when a room stays empty
Geofencing: activates heating when you approach home
Energy monitoring: tracks electricity consumption in real time
Digital thermostats: give precise temperature control compared with dial controls
The energy efficient heating guide explains which smart features actually reduce running costs.
Choose The Right Heaters For Your Climate Zone
Climate zones across Australia range from tropical northern regions to cold inland areas. Mild coastal climates, where winter temperatures rarely drop below 10°C, generally get by with smaller-capacity heaters. Alpine and inland regions with frosts below 5°C benefit from higher-capacity, permanent installations.
Climate-specific recommendations:
Climate Zone | Recommendation |
|---|---|
Tropical zones | Minimal heating needs; portable models are enough |
Temperate regions | Medium-capacity heaters for occasional cold periods |
Cold climates | Permanent installations with 2000+ watt capacity |
Alpine areas | Consider whole-home heating with reverse cycle systems |
Humid climates suit heaters that don't add moisture to the air, such as fan heaters or radiant models. Coastal areas with salt air need heaters with corrosion-resistant components. Professional installation services keep permanent heaters running safely and efficiently. Browse the full heating and cooling range for options suited to any Australian climate zone.

Weekly: Dust removal from vents and surfaces
Monthly: Filter cleaning for fan-forced models
Annually: Professional gas heater inspection and servicing
Pre-season: Full inspection before winter heating period
Portable heaters should have vents wiped with a soft cloth when unplugged and cool. Gas heaters require annual professional servicing to check burner operation and verify safe combustion. Our efficient home heating systems article covers long-term maintenance strategies.
Match the kilowatt (kW) output to your room's square meterage: well-insulated rooms need around 100 watts per square metre, while poorly insulated rooms need closer to 150 watts per square metre. For a standard bedroom (approximately 10-15m²), a 1,500W heater is usually sufficient, while larger open-plan living areas may require 2,400W or multiple units to maintain a consistent temperature.
Electric heater prices vary based on heating technology, wattage, and features like Wi-Fi connectivity or integrated thermostats. Check each product's price on its own page, or ask a team member in one of our stores.
Running cost depends on the heater's wattage and how long it's used.
Heaters on this page range from around 1,000W up to 2,500W, which very roughly works out to about 30-75c/hr at average Australian electricity rates. Models with programmable timers, adjustable thermostats, and eco-modes help keep actual costs down, since they avoid heating a room for longer than needed.
Check the specific model's wattage on its product page to estimate cost for your own use.
Yes, delivery timeframes vary by location and product availability. Click & Collect is available for items in stock at your local store during trading hours, once you receive a Ready for Pick Up notification. Check real-time stock availability at your nearest store by entering your postcode on the product page before completing your purchase.
Choose a heater with genuine overheat protection and a tip-over switch before using it overnight, and keep it clear of bedding, curtains and furniture. A heater with a sleep timer that switches off once the room reaches temperature is a safer option than leaving any heater running unattended all night.
