If you’re building a new home, renovating, or simply keen to update your home heating this winter, this article is for you. We’re taking a look at some of the top home heating trends for Sydney’s 2024 winter and beyond.
The way we heat our homes has changed over the years, just as house designs are drastically different than they were 50 years ago. As such, a modern breed of home heating solutions is available to keep households warm and energy bills down.
Here are some of the top home heating trends for Sydney in 2024.
Energy Efficiency
It’s no surprise that people want the cheapest way to keep their homes warm in winter. Heating your home is one of the most costly exercises as far as your energy bill goes, which is why energy efficiency is a big consideration in 2024. However, the cheapest upfront heating solution isn’t always the best value in the long run.
A study by the University of Wollongong showed that the predicted energy required to heat new homes has increased by 5.6% between 2018 and 2022. This is because homes are getting bigger, so it costs more to heat and cool, despite most new homes meeting energy efficiency standards. As a result, buyers should consider the ongoing running costs when buying a heater in Sydney.
Space Saving Designs
While there is nothing quite like a freestanding wood heater in the middle of winter, the reality is they take up a lot of space. Modern wood heaters can be built into all sorts of spaces. Many are double-sided, which gives you a lot of flexibility regarding placement. You can even make your heater a feature!
Choosing inbuilt wood fireplaces means you don’t sacrifice any warmth or comfort, but you can save valuable floor space. In particular, corner wood heaters are a great option for those short on space,
Electric Fireplaces
Today’s electric fireplaces are far more energy-efficient than their predecessors. Designed to look like a fireplace, complete with flickering flames for a beautiful aesthetic effect. Unlike other electric heating methods, such as heat pumps, your electric fireplace runs so quietly that you’ll hardly even know it’s on.
Much like modern wood heaters, you can find an enormous range of electric heater designs. They can be built into walls and corners to save space and keep the area neat and tidy. Best of all, they pack plenty of heat to keep the family warm and look amazing in any home.
