Heaters

Got that one room that just refuses to warm up, even with the heater blasting? Winters in Australia hit hard, and if your current setup’s not cutting it, it’s time to sort it.

As the country’s leading retailer of home appliances, JB’s range of electric heaters is packed with big brands that bring the heat—literally. Think names like De’Longhi, Dyson, Dimplex, Goldair, Kambrook, Omega Altise, Vornado, Philips, Breville and more all in one place.

Whether you’re chasing something compact for the study or a bit of grunt for the lounge, we’ve got the lineup to match. But how do you find the one that fits your space, your budget and your winter habits? Well, we’ve got you there, too.

Not all heaters are built the same. Some barely warm your toes, others turn the place into a sauna. The best ones strike the right balance—they’re quick, quiet, easy to move (or not), and actually suit the way you live. Here’s what to look for:

• Multiple heat settings – More control over how toasty things get
• Adjustable thermostat – Keeps temps steady without cranking it all day
• Built-in timers – Set it to run when you need it, shut off when you don’t
• Remote control access – Change the heat from the couch, the bed or across the room
• Wi-Fi connectivity – Link it to your phone or smart home setup for easy control anywhere
• Oscillating action – Pushes warm air across the room instead of just one corner
• Freestanding or wall-mounted designs – Go portable or keep it fixed and out of the way
• Safety shut-off – Cuts power if it tips over or gets too hot, so you can stress less
• Silent or low-noise modes – Perfect for bedrooms, nurseries or a home office

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer, but some heaters definitely work harder on less power. The most energy-efficient option depends on the size of your room, the duration of your run, and how the heat is delivered. The good news? JB’s got a massive range of heaters to match every setup, and they’re all electric—no LPG, no gas bottles, just plug-and-go heat.

• Ceramic Tower Heaters – Fast and focused warmth for bedrooms and smaller living areas. These offer sleek builds with smart safety features.
• Fan Heaters – Quick heat for tight spaces, and great for short bursts. Ceramic fan heaters pack more punch with less energy drain.
• Radiant Heaters – Perfect for spot heating. No waiting—just direct warmth where you need it.
• Panel Heaters – Low on noise, big on efficiency. A top choice for background warmth, especially if you’re after a slim electric panel heater.
• Oil Column Heaters – Take a bit to heat up but hold warmth longer. These electric radiators are great for big rooms and all-night use without chewing through power.
• Electric Fireplace Heaters – Add cosy vibes and real heat without the smoke or cleanup for a traditional fireplace.
• Convection Heaters – Also called convector heaters, these deliver gentle, consistent warmth for mid-sized rooms without the blast of a fan.

Need backup for those icy mornings? We’ve also got electric blankets from brands like Heller, Homedics, and Beurer to layer the warmth without smashing your energy bill.

Yes. Electric blankets are generally safe to use, as long as you follow the instructions and don’t treat them like a regular doona. The ones at JB are part of our smart cooling and heating solutions lineup, packed with safety features like auto shut-off, overheat protection and even timers on some models. Just lay them flat, keep them clean, and don’t leave them cranked all night, and you’re good to go.

It can, but not always. Some heaters can make the air feel drier, especially if you’re running them for hours in a sealed room. But that’s more common with gas heaters.

If you're super sensitive to dry air or running your heater all day, you might feel it a bit. That’s where a solid air purifier/humidifier combo from JB can help balance things out, so you stay warm without drying out your skin or sinuses. For more control, a split system air conditioner with a heating mode is another option worth considering.

Whether you’re heating a single room or kitting out the whole house, JB’s got the gear to make it happen. We know what real Australian winters feel like, and we’ve got the heating solutions to match.
