Heating methods pros and cons?
Lots of posts recently about cold damp houses and how to survive them. Coming from warm Hawaii to Wellington this is a real concern to us. Could someone please go over the heating methods - mom use and cons and pros? For example- I understand heating pumps make the house warm but don't they also dry up the air too much? Don't they make noise when they go on and off according to the temperature? And - oil heaters? Are they not better in terms of not drying the air too much? But are they very expensive to run? As we have not heated a house in many many years we need some guidance in what to look for in our rentals. If people prefer other heating ways such as fire place or gas heater would love to heat about those as well!
Thank you!
