Choosing the right heating system for your home is made easier if you know what is available. And if you can't change what's already installed, there are other ways to increase energy efficiency and cost.


Contrary to popular myth, Australia, on this Down Under continent, is not always sunny and warm year round. But the heating systems of Australian homes generally lag behind their Northern Hemisphere counterparts.

For households interested in emission-free heating, there are several options. But most are not easily accessible to the tenants of the house because it requires installation. One of the most energy efficient options is a heat pump, especially when operating with electricity from solar panels.

State and territory governments offer support to households to improve their energy efficiency. Programs targeting home heating include rebates and financial incentives for equipment upgrades and purchases as well as free expert advice for households.
