Heat output (kWh) View more details.

Most heaters declare the heat output in Kilowatt Hours (kWh). Roughly speaking, 1 kW = 10 square metres of room heating. So if you have a 3 x 4 m room (12 sqm), you’ll need a has heater with at least 1.2 kW heating output (12sqm / 10).

Size View more details.

Based on the kW heat output. Room sizes are classified as follows: Small = 29 – 52sqm. Medium = 64 – 90sqm. Large = 65 – 113sqm. There are discrepancies in sizing due to the self regulation of the industry.

Highest gas consumption MJ/h View more details.

Note that models in different size ranges can’t be directly compared because heaters with different capacities are designed for different room sizes. Compare each heater against others in the same gas consumption range: small or 11–15 MJ/h, medium or 18–21 MJ/h and large or 25 MJ/h +.

Heat settings View more details.

Some models have a basic range of settings such as low, medium and high, or a simple slider ranging from low to high. Others have a thermostat allowing a finer range of specific room temperature settings.

Star rating View more details.

The AS4553 Efficiency Star Rating is based on an industry-designed rating scale from 1 to 6 stars. Most models rate very highly in this scheme so it’s not as useful as star ratings based on Australian standards, such as those applied to fridges and air conditioners.

Claimed maximum room size (sq m) View more details.

Our results table shows the maximum recommended room floor size (assuming a standard ceiling height of 2.4m) in a cool climate. But as well as room size, consider the climate where you live. A model might heat 57m² in a cold climate but 87m² in a mild climate.

Required minimum room size (sq m) View more details.

Unflued gas heaters must have a stated minimum room volume to ensure they aren’t used in a room that’s too small, where their waste gas output might be at too high a level. SA, Victoria and WA have further restrictions on the use of this heater type — check with a gas plumber or retailer. We’ve converted the minimum volume to a minimum floor area in square metres, assuming standard ceiling height of 2.4m.

Convection or radiant View more details.

Convection (or convector) heaters work by heating the air and letting it circulate up and around through the room (usually pushed by a fan). Radiant-convection heaters radiate heat from an element at the front, so they’re best for personal heating (i.e. sitting in front of the heater), but they also produce some heat by convection.
