You can plumb in a water line to the Dimplex, and never need to refill the tank.
I was planning to do that but Clarendon Homes, being a "project builder" basically…

Storage water heater vs instant

That's actually kind of the point. This isn't about what we're likely to be doing anytime soon, but about the future.
One of the main areas of battery research these days…

Hi all, sorry I've been absent for a while.
We did eventually get to take a look at some examples of various brands and types. To my eyes, the Dimplex water…

Thanks for the response. I haven't been on for quite a while, but believe it or not the house hasn't even got past Council yet. Lots of delays.
We're going with…

Heating and cooling option for the new build

If I was building in Melbourne, I think I'd be looking at heating coils in the slab. Definitely not worth it for Sydney.
As for a/c, I don't think evaporative is…

Yeah, there are various fireplace and heating showrooms around. Now that we're into winter, I should have better luck.

And yet many disagree. That's why I need to see one in action, so I can decide.
If/when I do, I'll let you know how it turns out.

We don't need heating, just looking at a fireplace for the looks.
We've considered wood, gas and electric. In the end, electric came up best on air quality, maintenance, cost (assuming…

I didn't find any electric fireplaces with radiant heat, only built-in space heaters. However, flat infrared heating panels look promising.
At this point I'm thinking Dimplex Optimyst for the look, and…

I wonder whether I could revive this thread, given various technologies may have advanced in four years, and costs may have changed.
We're building to the SW of Sydney. A big…

Will check it out, thanks.

That's what I'm wondering, do you actually get the radiator effect, or are they just a visual illusion?
Most of the time they'd just be there for the look, whether on…

We've just decided to build a fairly large single-storey house to the (pretty far) southwest of Sydney. Putting in ducted reverse cycle a/c, but also a couple of fireplaces, basically…

Just a note/question. I recently lived in an apartment which had what I now recognise was a multi-head system. I forget the brand. It was a smallish apartment, with interior…
