richev Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 We're at the final countdown with just one week to go until our move to Sydney! The packers are coming on Wednesday next week and there are a few things we're still wondering about taking (the alternative being to leave in the (locked) attic of our house which we're renting out). A couple of winters ago our combi boiler gave up. I was working at home back then, so popped to our local Homebase and bought three electric heaters (this sort). They're expensive to run, but were invaluable for the few days it took to get out heating working again. Would anyone recommend taking them out to Sydney? Thanks!

Beaty Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Bring them, you could use them, it can get fresh in Winter. Best of luck with the move - what part of Sydney are you going to settle in? B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blossom Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 When we rented in Sydney we had to buy heaters, electric blankets etc. it was bloody cold! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parley Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Small space heaters are quite cheap though to buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aconcannon Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I live a few km from Manly & can tell you that from mid May up until a few weeks ago we used heaters & an electric blanket every night. Most properties aren't double glazed & have tiled or wood floors so winter is usually colder inside than outside! You can buy heaters here super cheap but if you already have some & you've got space in your shipping to add them in at no extra cost then it won't hurt to do it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
