      Do you mean aussie central heating - as in reverse cycle air con or UK heating as in radiators? I know lots with reverse cycle but only been in one house with radiators - Poms who live in a 4 million dollar house and spent $30,000 importing and installing an agar as well.

      I would be surprised if any do tbh, generally they use heaters, cost a fortune to run but keep you warm also electric blankets for the night..

      I would love an inglenook fireplace, although I'd probably only use it 2 months a year.

      Is that just the electric heaters?
      When we first moved up here I notice the house we bought didn't have heating, the first 18 months I didn't need any kind but these last few month I've really felt the cold

      Yeah electric, the only oz i know to have a super duper heating system, which transforms to air con in the summer is a pom living in adelaide! Family and aussie friends just use plug in heaters.. There expensive to run though.. I had never seen radiators till i came over here, im not sure you can even buy them over there? Could be a niche market there !!

      I DID have it - in a house we bought in Tassie in 1979. Left the wonderful heating along with the not-so-wonderful husband 6 years later.
      I'm hoping to have it installed in my present house - if the money doesn't run out!

      Yes, you can buy them over here. We bought some in the early 1980s to add to the system in our house and I have some current brochures for installation in this house.

      Crikey! You can buy Agas in Oz for half that price. Unless there is a Rolls Royce Aga which is not available here?
