How big is the house? Hi Thank you so much for your reply. The past 2 months in particular the heating really has not been off at all with the exception of a few days here or there where I might turn it off for a few hours or down to 20 degrees during the day. Generally throughout the day I have it between 25-30 degrees.. If I go out I will decrease the temp to 20. The house is approx 33 squares. There is your problem. Most heating systems are at their most efficient when between 18 and 21 degrees. For every degree over 21° it could cost you 15% more according to this http://www.sustainability.vic.gov.au/re ... iances.pdf Also 25-30 seems really hot. Are you naked in your house most of time? Also do you really need to run the heater when you go out? Turn the heater down and put a jumper on. Have a blanket handy for if you want to sit on the couch or chair. There are many ways to reduce heating costs. The above will help a lot. Hi all, sorting out the ducted air con for a 350sqm double story house. Does this placement sound reasonable to you?
