Making sure your home's central heating units are in good condition before winter arrives can help you avoid problems when the cold weather draws in.
When is the best time to think about heating?
Many people don't think about heating their homes until temperatures have already dropped, but this could put them at risk in the event that their heating systems malfunction or need to be replaced. Heating engineers are likely to be busier during the winter months, which could mean delays as well as increased call-out bills, so it can pay to get your central heating system and gas boiler installed and checked before you really need them.
Choosing efficient heating systems
Installing heating systems in the summer will also give you more time to carefully consider different units and find the one best suited to you. Just like air conditioners, modern heating systems are designed with energy efficiency in mind, and you could improve your home's green credentials as well as convenience by looking for split systems that provide both heating and cooling from the same unit. If your heating system is more than 10 years old, replacing it could also significantly lower your energy bills.

If you're looking for an efficient central heating unit to heat larger living areas, gas wall furnaces could be the most economical option.
Benefits of gas wall furnaces
These slimline furnaces are mounted to walls and can be used to heat single or multiple rooms, depending on the layout of the home. In the case of open plan properties, gas wall furnaces can be used to provide heating to many areas. Because these heaters use natural gas, they are a cleaner and more environmentally friendly alternative to some other forms of heating, as well as being cheaper than electrical heating, with only minimal electricity being required to power the fan.
Types of gas wall heaters
Gas wall heaters are available in a range of styles, making these suitable for many types of properties. The type of heater you choose will also depend on your heating requirements, with larger rooms and areas being better suited to ducted gas systems, which vent fumes outside the property, and smaller rooms being suitable for unvented models. You can also choose to install gas wall heaters that deliver different temperature levels in different rooms of your home, making it easier to maintain warmer temperatures in children's bedrooms compared to lounges and kitchens.

For a more traditional and environmentally friendly alternative to standard central heating units, consider installing wood heaters in your home.
How wood heaters work
Wood has been a valued heat source throughout human history, yet modern wood heaters are far removed from the simple open fireplaces of yesteryear. Modern heaters produce more heat than old style fireplaces, and are far more economical, burning much less wood. Wood heaters can be installed in existing fireplaces or as independent, freestanding units that do not require the presence of a fireplace or chimney. If you have never used a wood heater before, you should learn how to use wood safely and efficiently.
Benefits of wood heaters
Wood heaters can be an effective way to lower your heating bills compared to electrical heaters if you have access to a good supply of sustainable wood. The availability of wood supplies will of course influence your decision, and heating engineers will be able to inform you whether your property is suitable for this type of heating system. If you're concerned about lowering the carbon footprint of your home, wood is a renewable resource and produces fewer carbon dioxide emissions than other fossil fuels, especially when you factor in the extraction and transport required for other fuel sources.

Before winter sets in, you should make sure your home is prepared for the big chill, as arranging repairs to your central heating units and other systems or having new heaters installed once winter arrives could be more expensive and mean you have to wait in line.
In this video for expertvillage, home repair contractor James Drew offers advice for households on things to check in their properties before the winter weather arrives. This includes identifying and closing off any exposed areas, which could allow in cold air or bugs, including gaps around the edges of windows. If you still have single pane windows, or your windows were fitted more than 10 years ago, you may also consider replacing these to improve insulation and warm air retention.
While most areas of Australia are not prone to extreme cold, if you do live in a particularly cold part of the country and you have any pipes, taps and other plumbing fixtures outside your home, these should be covered to protect them from freezing. You may choose to wrap these in cloths or buy specially designed foam coverings. Outdoor plants that cannot be brought indoors should also be covered or otherwise protected, if they are not used to tolerating the winter climate.
Making sure your home heating systems are in good condition is another essential step, and summer is the best time to think about buying central heating units in Adelaide and other locations, as prices may be cheaper and you'll have time to get any problems corrected before the system is needed every day.
