Types of gas heaters

There are different types of gas heaters available to suit various needs, including vented gas heaters, ventless gas heaters, infrared gas heaters, wall-mounted gas heaters, and propane gas heaters, each offering unique features and benefits for efficient and effective heating solutions.

Flued gas heater

Fixed or flued gas heaters are built-in and vented outside, preventing the room from filling with fumes. Suitable for multiple room sizes, these models also have fans to distribute warm air.

Unflued gas heater

Unflued portable gas heaters are most suitable for outdoors and indoors only in large rooms with good ventilation. They are efficient and cost-effective but should only be used for a few hours at a time.

Vented gas heater

Vented indoor gas heaters can operate on either natural gas or propane fuel sources and can heat spaces from 30 to 300 square metres. They usually last a long time and have low maintenance requirements.

Vent-free gas heater

Vent-free heaters come in infrared or blue flame heating styles and are better in smaller spaces as long as that area is ventilated and the heater is only used for a few hours at a time.

Wall furnaces

A type of vented gas wall heater, these heat by drawing the cold air inside, heating it and releasing it back out. Very popular in apartments and smaller homes in Australia.

Blue flame gas heater

Blue flame heaters warm the surrounding air. They are slower than infrared models. but more energy-efficient and ideal for insulated areas.

Infrared gas heater

Infrared heaters transfer warmth directly to the surrounding objects, spreading it quickly. As with most heaters, they should be kept away from fabrics, furniture and children.

Propane gas heaters

Propane heaters are known for their convenience and efficiency. They provide a reliable heat source, making them ideal for outdoor activities, camping trips, and heating small spaces such as workshops or garages.

The advantages of high quality gas heaters

There are a lot of great heating products on the market in Australia, from wood fires to heat pumps. A gas heater is one of the best options, and investing in a high quality model may be a bigger expense at the outset, but it will pay off in the long-run. It will keep you warm and comfortable with reliable and efficient heat, doing it in style, through a modern, appealing design. If your budget allows, ducted gas heating will heat an average-sized house on its own.

Finding the right gas heater

In a larger indoor space, a vented gas heater is best and an unflued model is safe only if that area is well-ventilated, and should never be used in a bedroom. A vent-free model is better for smaller spaces and a wall furnace, while a big expense to start with, is a good long-term choice for an apartment or smaller home.

A blue flame heater is safer than an infrared model if you have children and pets. If you want the look of a crackling fire, but not the clean-up, a gas log fire is a good energy-efficient choice that emits intense heat. Another option that you may consider is a radiator, which radiate warmth into a room, providing efficient and consistent heat distribution.
