You have a lot of advise on here regarding home heating. You have specific advise on how to choose a heater and what size etc but although you state that for an older less well insulated home you recommend a radient heater you offer nothing in the way of information about any.
Anyone got experience of micathermic heaters?
i'm considering buying this german made heater which seems to be the modern version of the night store heater. Has anyone experience of this heater and its effectiveness?
I have seen these heaters advertised and their web site looks interesting but how good are they really from a heating and cost point of view. We would like to heat several bedrooms when it gets particularly cold in Auckland but would not use them constantly throughout winter.
Many thanks
Hi, were are building a new house and are finding it really hard to decide what form of heating to use. Am not sure if anyone has used these heaters? Are they truly as economical as they are said to be? We live in alpine conditions, so it goes minus in the winter. Thanks
Hi julesfrench,
We have just published a News report addressing Nono and other ‘economical’ electric heaters.

Hope this is helpful.
