This home is costing at least twice as much to heat... This room is properly insulated, and it's at a temperature of 20 degrees. And this one's the same size. It's also properly insulated, and the temperature is 20 degrees. So what's the difference? This home is costing at least twice as much to heat... as this one. And it's all down to the choice of heating. Traditional heaters like this can warm a room, but you use a lot of electricity doing it, while energy-efficient heating systems like Energy Star flued gas heaters, modern wood burners, wood pallet burners and Energy Star heat pumps produce heat more efficiently and cost less to run. Go to energywise.govt.nz for advice on choosing an efficient heating system. Here's a tip ` if you do use electric heaters, make use of the timer and thermostat features. Heating is about a third of your energy bill. Energy-efficient heating helps to give you a warmer, drier, healthier home. That means we're all using less energy too. See you next time.
