I saw someone's place, yes in NZ with central heating. We don't like many.
1. Is central heating quieter than heat pump?
2. Is natural gas (Contact Energy etc) cheaper to run than electric heat pumps? I've heard before that heat pumps are "the" most cost efficient but not sure how much that is fact.
3. Is natural gas central heating cost efficient by itself, or are they about the same as individual gas heaters?
Heat pumps do cooling as well. The house does look a lot tidier without them thou :)
Cheers.
