Air and Water Residential’s staff can help you chose the right system for you.

Choosing the best system for you involves determining what is most important to you. For example, how important is the trade off between purchase price and area heated?

Here are some of the main considerations for the types of heaters that Air and Water Residential sell:

Note: Direct heating (eg electric storage heaters and portable heaters) may cost three times as much as reverse cycle air conditioners in heating mode to run. With gas heaters it is important to ensure that you buy a safe heater. It is healthier and safer to have a heater that doesn't leave unburnt gases.
