What is a Space Heater?
Space heaters are a winter staple in a lot of households. These heating units are installed in a single room of the house, and are a very cost effective option if you are just looking to heat one small area.
A space heating system is usually powered by gas, and so is a cheaper unit to run when compared to an electric heater system. Natural gas heaters can cost a third of what electric heaters do per year. Alongside that, these units are only built to heat a single room. This makes them a much cheaper alternative when compared to ducted heating systems, which are designed and installed to heat an entire house.
As the majority of these units are a type of gas heater, it is important that they have safety features in place to ensure your warm air is provided to you safely. Space heaters are installed in your home with a flue leading outside your home. The flue expels any dangerous gases from your home, leaving the heat to circulate the room.
If the overall look of your heater is important to you, then these heating elements might be a good option. They come in a large variety of designs and sizes, so you can easily find the perfect aesthetic fit for your home.
Types of Room Heaters
Here at Jim's Air Conditioning, we can work on whatever type of room heater you throw at us. Our experienced technicians have the industry experience to get your space heater back up and running again in no time.
Whether you need one installed, serviced or repaired, we're available 24/7 to help with all types of room heaters.
Gas Space Heater
Gas space heaters are a great option for those looking to heat a room without breaking the bank with the running costs. While more costly upfront, a gas space heater will cost you less to run than their electric counterparts.
Whether you're after a wall heater or a gas log fire, Jim's Air Conditioning has experts who can install any gas space heater in your home. With our industry experience and hands-on knowledge, we can also service and repair any gas heater in your home. This means we'll help keep your home safe from gas leaks and the deadly carbon monoxide.
Electric Space Heater
Not everyone has access to natural gas or wants to use LPG. That's where an electric space heater comes in. Whether you're after an oil, ceramic, panel or fan electric space heater, Jim's Air Conditioning can help.
Our technicians are fully qualified and licensed to install, service and repair an electric space heater in your home. With electric heaters, you can save money with the upfront payment, unlike gas heaters which are more costly. The running costs of electric heaters will hurt your wallet in the long run.
Space Heater Services
Your home's space heater should be treated in the same way that you would treat your car. Regular services are an absolute must if you want your heater to perform as its best when in use.
Our heating experts at Jim's Air Conditioning specialise in gas-powered space heaters. We can provide quality service on all models, brands and makes of these systems, to ensure your heater is always running smoothly.
Whether you're after a heater service, in need of repairs, or looking to install a brand new unit, Jim's Air Conditioning can handle it all! We work fast too, and can even be at your front door within an hour* of your call!
Our heating technicians are all licensed and qualified to tackle any job at hand. We provide ongoing training to our team, ensuring they always have the latest industry knowledge available.
If your heating needs arise outside of standard working hours, you shouldn't have to wait until the next business day for a solution. That's why we offer service 24/7! And you won't pay any crazy fees for after hours work - we charge the same great price around the clock!
Space Heater Maintenance
To get the best performance out of your space heater, regular maintenance is one thing that cannot be overlooked. Our team at Jim's Air Conditioning have the first-class knowledge and skillsets to handle all of your heater maintenance needs.
As these heaters are fuelled by gas, it is essential that they are in good working order at all times. Our expert technicians can perform the necessary checks throughout your service, including testing for carbon monoxide, checking the gas connections and pressures, and ensuring the flue is properly expelling gas from the room.
Our team will test your unit's thermostat, ensuring it is reading the heat temperature correctly when in use. We'll also do a general check of the internal parts, to confirm that every part of your heater is running smoothly.
Space Heater Price
As mentioned above, space heaters range on the more affordable end of heat systems. This particularly applies to models that use gas for fuel, as they run a lot cheaper than their electric counterparts.
Here at Jim's Air Conditioning, we understand the importance of having heat for your home. We also know that sometimes our budgets don't leave a lot of room for unexpected repairs or last-minute installations.
To help you out in these situations, we offer our customers a range of $0 deposit, interest free payment plans**. These plans are flexible for your convenience, and can be repaid in either weekly or fortnightly instalments!
Applying for a plan could not be easier. Our heating and cooling technicians can sign you up at your front door! Customers are usually approved within a few minutes, and then your technician can carry on with the job at hand.

Space Heaters FAQs
Space may be the final frontier with plenty of unknowns, but we know all about space heaters.
Are space heaters energy efficient?
Space heaters do use less energy when compared to central heat, however, they aren’t as efficient. Electronically powered space heaters that produce heat radiation are the most efficient model and are good options for warming up small spaces in your home.
Can space heaters cause fires?
Combustion space heaters, such as gas log fires, do have a risk of causing a house fire. These models burn flammable fuel for power, and so must be used with caution in the home. It is important to research safe use of a space heater before purchase and follow basic precautions to prevent a fire.
Are space heaters safe to leave on all night?
It is not recommended for a space heater to be left running overnight. Space heaters so have several potential high risk factors, including fires and carbon monoxide poisoning.
To heat your room overnight, it’s instead recommended that you heat your room for about 2-3 hours before you sleep and then turn off your heater. The heat will remain in your room for several hours, and you won’t be putting your sleeping self at risk.
Had my evaporative cooling breakdown on a stinking hot day. Esat came out within half an hour, had a new unit replaced within a couple of hours in the heat. This bloke is a real credit to the company.
