Get warm without ramping up your power bill with an energy-efficient heater
More and more Australians are taking note of their power usage. Burning fossil fuels to generate electricity causes global warming, and right now, our electricity sector is the leading cause of greenhouse gas emissions in Australia.
Plus, on a more granular level, power bills are only getting more expensive, so Aussie homeowners are looking for new ways to reduce their power usage at home, most often through their heating and cooling solutions.
At Heating & Outdoors, we’re here to help. We stock energy-efficient heaters to help you warm up in winter without pushing your power bill into overdrive.

What makes a heater “energy efficient”?
An energy-efficient heater uses less energy to produce the same amount of heat as a less efficient model. It achieves this by minimising wasted energy and maximising heat output. Here’s how:
- Modern technology: Features like smart thermostats, timers, and sensors help optimise when and how the heater runs, ensuring it only uses energy when needed.
- Efficient design: Well-insulated components and advanced heating elements convert more energy into hot air, with less energy lost during the process.
- Eco-modes and controls: Many models offer energy-saving modes that automatically adjust settings to maintain comfort while consuming less power.
- Higher energy ratings: Energy-efficient heaters often carry high energy star ratings, indicating superior performance to standard models.
In our collection, you’re guaranteed to find an energy-efficient electric heater that eliminates the winter chill without harming the environment or raising household energy costs. Sourced from trusted brands like Rinnai, you can count on our range to deliver high performance!
Product spotlight: Rinnai 1005FT Energy Saver
The Rinnai 1005FT Energy Saver is Rinnai’s most energy-efficient heater. With a minimum energy efficiency rating of 4.8 stars, these heaters are designed to outperform almost all other kinds of heating. Sending out warm, clean air, Rinnai’s Energy Saver creates air pollution, ideal for those with allergies or respiratory issues. The Energy Saver’s flue system expels the combustion products inside, eliminating air pollution and leaving the air fresh and healthy.
Economy mode is available to help reduce running costs. The heater will modulate down one hour after the set temperature is reached, reducing running costs with no noticeable change in temperature. You’ll stay toasty warm while your heater slows down its power usage.
Plus, the Energy Saver comes with a humidifier tray as a standard. Adding water to the tray increases the room’s humidity, making it feel warmer and more comfortable.
FAQs about energy-saving heaters
Do Rinnai’s Energy Savers come in multiple sizes?
Yes, this energy-efficient appliance comes in multiple sizes, guaranteed to fit and heat any space. For larger rooms, we recommend opting for the Rinnai 559FT Energy Saver, as its powerful fan ensures hot air is evenly distributed throughout the space.
Do I need professional installation for my new heating system?
Yes, Rinnai energy-efficient heaters have a flue that requires professional installation for best results. Some models come with a direct flue kit, which is quick and simple to install, but we recommend chatting to our team—we provide delivery and installation services to ensure your new heater works as intended.
Is using an air conditioner or a heater for energy efficiency better?
Some reverse-cycle air conditioners can be more efficient than a heater, providing heating and cooling while using less energy. However, in very cold climates, an energy-efficient heater may perform better. The best choice depends on your climate, energy costs, and whether you need year-round temperature control.
Are Rinnai’s energy-efficient electric heating solutions safe for homes with children?
Absolutely. Rinnai’s Energy Saver models feature a child lock to prevent unwanted access and keep your family safe.
