Closed fireplace between the TV lounge, dining room kitchen, gas heater in a similar area, underfloor heating in our youngest sons room, wall panel heater in our oldest sons room, wall panel heater and underfloor heating in our bedroom but we also have an AC unit and electric blanket in our bedroom and underfloor heating in our oldest sons bedroom that can be used. I have a wall panel heater that needs to go in to our youngest sons room which will use a few less Watts than his underfloor heating.
 
I like the cold. Generally I don't use any heating, and at best it will be when I braai. Fireplaces are all over the home; there are three. Heating is not used, even though it is there. Conditioning the air needs to be cold.

It is only blankets, and warmer clothing, to keep warm. Yesterday I only had sweatpants on.
 
I just dress warmer and very occasionally use the aircon in the room just to take the slight chill off.

I though it was going to be a lot colder.
 
How what where?

Meant for outdoor use but the room is well ventilated. A 9kg tank lasts about 4 weeks

I've been fortunate enough to spend the past two "winters" in the US where it's been hot... too hot at times. Fortunately today is unlikely to exceed 32°c.
