I've got a heat pump, Queenslanders would know them as them reverse cycle Air conditioners. It gets cold here in Tas although out west in Sydney at night the temps can drop lower than here, but Sydney days are usually warmer. I've got a nice gas coal grate fire for effect which gets turned on half a dozen times each winter. The heat pump uses about 100 recession riddled buckaziods of power per month but heats the whole house. Wood heaters are not environmentally friendly, they pollute especially when damped down. Lonny has, for six months of the year, the worst air quality in the country, mostly because of wood heaters and to a lesser extent forestry regeneration burnoff.
