Why Install a Gas Space Heater?
Gas Space Heater FAQs
Gas Room Heaters are available in a range of brands, models, shapes, sizes – including floor-to-ceiling wall furnaces, glowing radiant heaters and compact white Rinnai Energysaver space heaters.
They are a very economical way to heat a room or area and have a reputation for longevity – if well maintained, they can last many years to come.
We recommend Rinnai’s Energysaver space heaters. They are particularly energy efficient, with a minimum efficiency rating of 4.8 stars, which mean low running costs.
They are available in different sizes and take up little space with their compact design.
They have been in Australian homes, schools and businesses for over 30 years and are an ideal replacement for old gas wall furnaces.
These gas space heaters have no exposed hot surfaces and release no fumes into the house as they are flued outside.
Additionally, LPG conversion kits allow you to operate the heater in areas without natural gas.
Unlike built-in gas log fires, space heaters cannot be built in walls or cavities.
They are freestanding units which are placed against walls.
They need to be connected to a gas source, either natural gas or LPG for those who don’t have access to natural gas.
As they are a gas appliance, they need to be flued outside.
Gas Space Heaters come in different sizes, with the sizes represented in Kilowatts.
Kilowatt (KW) is how gas output is measured. The size of your room will depend on how many KW heater you need.
