Gas & Electric Heaters

At Appliances Online, you'll find electric blankets in all standard bed sizes - Single, King Single, Double, Queen, and King. You can also shop for dual-zone controls on larger sizes, perfect for partners with different warmth preferences.

Yes, electric blankets are surprisingly energy efficient. Most models use only 60–100 watts per hour per side, which is cheaper than heating your entire room. They're a great option for staying warm while keeping your energy bills down.

Modern electric blankets sold at Appliances Online come with overheat protection and auto shut-off features, making them safe for overnight use. Always follow the care and safety instructions provided by the manufacturer.

Heaters fall into three main categories: electric heaters, gas heaters, and fireplaces. You’ll also find options like oil column heaters, ceramic heaters, radiant heaters, panel heaters, and fan heaters - all available at Appliances Online with Free Next Day Delivery.

For smaller rooms, an oil column heater or a ceramic fan heater is ideal. They're compact, quiet, and energy efficient. Panel heaters mounted on walls also help save floor space.

They’re the same thing! “Space heater” is a broad term used internationally, while Aussies often say “room heater.” Both refer to portable units designed to warm up individual rooms.

Gas heaters can be more cost-effective in large or frequently used spaces if you already have a natural gas connection. However, electric heaters tend to have lower upfront costs and work well for occasional use.

Oil column heaters use electricity to heat oil sealed within the unit. The oil retains heat and circulates inside, warming up the metal body and then the surrounding air. They offer gentle, long-lasting warmth and are silent during operation.

Panel heaters are slim, wall-mountable electric heaters. They’re ideal for bedrooms and living rooms because they quietly and evenly warm the air. They’re also child- and pet-friendly thanks to their cool-touch exterior.

Fan heaters can consume more power quickly, especially when used for long periods. They're best for short bursts of heat in small areas like offices and smaller rooms.

Flued gas heaters are heaters that burn gas, usually via natural gas connection, to create fire and heat. All the emissions that the heater creates as the heater is burning, is vented straight outside via a flue or pipe as opposed to back into the same room, which makes them suitable for indoor use like your bedroom or living room. Unflued heaters don’t have this and must only be used in well-ventilated areas, like large open-plan spaces and outdoor areas.

No, for safety and legal compliance, gas heaters must be installed by a licensed gas fitter. Appliances Online offers professional installation services for select models.

For larger rooms or open-plan homes, a powerful gas heater or built-in fireplace is your best bet. Rinnai and Omega Altise are trusted brands in this space.

Gas fireplaces provide real flames and heat using natural gas or LPG. Electric fireplaces simulate flame effects using lights and heat with internal electric coils. Electric options are easy to install and ideal for apartments or renters.

Only wood-burning fireplaces need chimneys. Gas and electric fireplaces sold at Appliances Online are flued to exhaust and direct all the emissions outside, or vent-free, depending on the model, making them easier to install in modern homes.

Gas patio heaters and electric infrared heaters are ideal. They provide directional heat and are designed to withstand Aussie weather conditions. Popular options include freestanding mushroom heaters and wall-mounted strip heaters.

Yes, when used correctly. Always follow safety instructions and ensure proper ventilation. Most models come with built-in safety features like tip-over shutoff.

A heat pump water heater draws heat from the surrounding air outside of the unit and transfers it to the water inside heater, rather than using energy to heat the water directly. It’s energy-efficient and suitable for warm climates like many parts of Australia. Though less common than electric or gas heaters, they’re growing in popularity.

A space heater is a portable appliance used to warm up a single room or small area, more commonly referred to as room heaters in Australia. They are usually plug and play with common options like oil heaters, ceramic fan heaters, radiant heaters, amongst others.
