    What makes its economical? I've heard panel heaters are better than some other forms of electrical heater but it's still 2400W heater how economical can it be. A 100W electric throw blanket is economical at heating someone if you don't need to heat all the air and surfaces in a 70m^3 room.

      What’s the main difference between a panel heater and a ceramic heater in real life terms? I am going to need a heater soon

      • AustriaBargain on 09/05/2023 - 13:32

        In real-life terms, the main difference between a panel heater and a ceramic heater is the way they heat the surrounding air.

        A panel heater heats the air that comes into contact with the heater, which then rises and circulates around the room. Panel heaters are typically slim and wall-mounted, making them a good option for smaller spaces or rooms with limited floor space.

        On the other hand, a ceramic heater uses a ceramic element to heat up and transfer heat to the surrounding air. The heat is then dispersed through a fan or convection, which helps to distribute the heat more evenly around the room. Ceramic heaters are typically more portable and can be moved around the room to provide heat where it's needed most.

        When choosing between a panel heater and a ceramic heater, it's important to consider the size of the room you need to heat, the amount of heat output you require, and whether you need a portable or wall-mounted option.

          Thanks for that, so where does convection heater fits in between the two?

      If you want economical, get some crypto miners like me. They are almost 100% efficiency plus I'm stacking sats at the same time 😎

      Nothing really. All electric heaters are 100 percent efficient, which means compared to a reverse cycle split with an efficient of 400pc, this will be pretty expensive to run for the amount of heat it makes. A radiant heater may be a little better if you have a massive room and want to sit directly in front of it but again it pales to a split.

      These are incredibly expensive to run. Most people who can (i acknowledge not everybody can) would be better to consider a split.

    All electric heaters with resisitive elements will convert 1kW of electricity into 1kW of heat. They are all as efficient as each other - from fan heater to expensive Noirot. Some will feel more effective if sitting in front of them - such as radiant type. But in terms of electricity consumed to heat output, they are all the same.

    These heaters are cheap to buy but expensive to run. Most are 2400w, so if running flat out, will use 2.4kW per hour. If your rate from electricity provider is say 25c per kWh, then they will cost 50c per hour to run.

    Oil heaters are the same efficiency too. People claim they provide heat after they are turned off, but that is simply residual heat from the oil cooling down - effectively a timing delay from the start when they run for 10 minutes to warm up oil and there's no heat.

    If you can (I know some people renting can't), but it is really worth considering reverse cycle split systems. The bonus is you have cooling in summer. Yes they can cost several thousand to buy and install, but in the long term they will save a lot of money. Since they pump heat rather than generate heat, 1kW of electricity is converted into 4-6 kW of heat - so effectively use less than 20% of the power of resistive element heaters such as the one being sold here. Much much cheaper to run, and cheaper to run than gas too.

    • GuniGuGu on 09/05/2023 - 15:11

      Is it worth investing in split systems if I already have gas ducted heating?

      Also I have a 13.3 kw solar system

      • jollster101 on 09/05/2023 - 15:29

        We paid $8k to ditch the gas system and go ducted split using the same ducts and vents. I had already upgraded the ducting myself some time back to insulated. Heating and cooling taken care of.

        There will be some that say one main unit isn't the way to go in case it goes and you lose everything. Was cheaper, and more aesthetically pleasing, to have one compressor outside though than run one to all the rooms we wanted.

        With solar it makes a big difference, heating or cooling with cost offset is a plus. That said, for us we were ditching gas completely and are now all electric.

        13kw is a big system generating electricity….. Unless you are growing heaps of weed and need all that power for plants. 🙂🙂🙂

        • picogary on 09/05/2023 - 17:25

          Where are you located? I'm in the process of researching exactly this option at my place in SE Melbourne… looking for recommendations on who to speak to about it. The first few conversations hit a wall because the installers couldn't see beyond adding split systems.

          • jollster101 on 09/05/2023 - 22:22

            @picogary: Melbourne, Inner West

            We used Advance Heating and Cooling who were great. Not sure what areas they service though.

            Melbourne Heat Pumps were awesome for the purchase of the Dynamic X8 heat pump.

            Good guys commercial for the Westinghouse induction cooktop.

            All in all, really glad to have ditched the gas.

            Our daily electricity usage is around 18kwh which includes running a spa. 6.6kw system on the roof and average bill for the last few months has been around $80.

      • placard on 09/05/2023 - 15:31

        Most certainly.

        Gas ducted heating costs a fortune to run.

        With a solar system of 13.3kw, you can easily take advantage of offsetting heating use with solar power rather than gas.

        Split systems will be more efficient and flexible, and probably cheaper than reverse cycle ducted. If I was in your situation I'd probably strategically place some splits in the house to use as heating instead of the gas ducted. You can use gas ducted at times if you need full house heating, but strategically placed splits may be able to mostly cover the regular use areas of the house and not heat non-used areas. Bonus is cooling with splits too.

        In general, I'd be thinking about moving away from gas with your size solar system. Change hot water to heat pump electric when it's time to replace (or sooner if you can afford with the government rebates available). Stove to induction, etc. Once no appliances are left using gas, have the gas disconnected to save on daily service charges.

        I'm currently organising my parents to have a heat pump hot water unit installed as they have solar panels. gas hot water is the only gas appliance remaining and it's costing them $700 a year total gas bills. Heat pump hot water unit, programmed to heat during the day when excess solar energy being generated will just mean a slight loss of Feed in Tarriff (which the rate is constantly reducing anyway), and save $700 with no more gas bills.

    Second the comments, these things are crazy expensive to run often. Over a year, it would have been cheaper to install a split system. We had two heaters for a large room, and the costs were over $1.20 an hour.

    I've got an old plasma TV that does a similar job

    I’m staying in a rental and have fan heaters, ceramic heaters and panel heaters. The landlord refused to install reverse cycle split air conditioning.

    Panel heating works for a small room. In big rooms, we use small fan heater from aldi which costs us $39 but because it moves air around it works very well.

    But as the other comments pointed out, if you have option to install or use reverse cycle split a/c then you should go for it. Rest of the heaters are very expensive to run. I’m just stuck in a leased house without fixed heating for the next few months.

    • jollster101 on 09/05/2023 - 15:32

      Somebody else's electricity bill so can understand not shelling out for splits.

      I find it really sad when a landlord won't install at least one split system in a house - in a living area.

      They are coming down in price now so for a few thousand, the tenant is happy and saving a lot of money, the house is more attractive to tenants because it has air con, and the landlord can depreciate it on tax.

      Just so stingy to flat out refuse. It's not like the tenant is asking for marble bench tops…..

    • Aerith-Waifu on 09/05/2023 - 16:24

      What about gas heater? Are they expensive to run?

      • placard on 09/05/2023 - 16:30
        +1

        Yes, as the gas price is constantly going up.

        In the long term - split system with solar panels is best.

        Even without solar, a modern inverter split system will be cheaper to run than gas.

    Bought one from The Good Guys. Not particularly impressed, considering the price.

    Bar the fancy control panel, I'm not sure how it's better than a K-Mart cheapo.
