As temperatures start to drop, there’s no better time to prepare for winter and choose the best heating solution for your home, that won’t break the bank. Whether you’re looking for electric heaters, gas heaters or a split system, we’ve got everything you need to ensure you feel comfortable, cosy and warm once winter arrives.
Electric heater systems tend to be quite popular as not only are they cheaper, they’re also portable, allowing you to heat certain rooms as you desire or take the heater with you as you swap between different rooms throughout the day. Electric heaters are a great option for those wanting to heat up smaller spaces in their home.

This is technically a type of electric home heating system. If you're looking for an efficient electric heating system, then this is it, as it can also be used in the summer to cool down your home. A reverse-cycle air conditioner works by drawing heat from the air outside (even in freezing conditions) and transferring it to the inside. If you are wanting to heat larger rooms for longer, reverse-cycle air conditioning is the better option when comparing with electric heating systems.

Gas heaters use either natural gas or bottled LPG. If you're looking for an unflued (portable) gas heater, The Good Guys has got you sorted. Unflued gas heaters essentially are portable heaters as they aren’t plumbed into any gas piping. They are relatively efficient as they turn most of the gas into heat. Unflued heaters generally can’t be used in bedrooms, studies or any other small room with little ventilation, however, they are still a great portable choice that offer fast heat.

The cheapest way to heat your home is to make it as insulated as possible before introducing a new heating system. After all, you could have the best heating system in the world, but it wouldn't do much if cold air is leaking in. You will need to check the seal on all openings, such as windows and doors, and buy draught excluders and door snakes to further insulate your rooms. You can also purchase curtains and blinds to keep the warmth in during wintertime. All walls need to be insulated, including the ceilings and floors. You may also choose to purchase some cheap but thick rugs to put on your hardwood floor for better insulation. After you've purchased your heating system, you need to make sure it's well-maintained and kept clean, including the air filters. If you have an electric heater operating in a room, make sure the door is shut to keep the warmth in. Of course, if it's an unflued gas heater, ventilation is particularly important.
Read more about our top picks for heating below and find the perfect one for your home this winter, from leading brands like Dyson, De'Longhi, Rinnai, Noirot, Mitsubishi, Dimplex and EWT.
