Heating your home isn’t just about turning on a switch, it’s about comfort, efficiency, and making choices that suit your lifestyle and budget. In this episode of the Building Design, Prime Time Podcast, Frank and Amelia dive deep into the world of home heating, exploring the wide variety of options available to homeowners in Tasmania and beyond. From traditional wood heaters and pellet systems to reverse cycle, hydronic, and geothermal solutions, they break down how each system works, the costs involved, maintenance requirements, and long-term efficiency.

Frank and Amelia discuss practical considerations like retrofitting older homes, the importance of insulation and thermal performance, and how your choice of heating can impact both your energy bills and the environment. They also highlight the often-overlooked benefits of passive solar design, showing how smart placement of living areas and windows can harness the sun’s energy to naturally warm your home, free of cost and emissions.

Listeners will gain insights into choosing the right heating system for their needs, understanding the balance between upfront investment and long-term returns, and how to optimise comfort for every season of life. Whether you’re building a new home, renovating, or simply curious about making your current space warmer and more sustainable, this episode is packed with expert advice, real-life examples, and tips you won’t want to miss. And be sure to subscribe so you don't miss an episode, there's a new topic each week!
