South Africa is rather pleasant to us from a weather perspective, but there’s no denying that our winter climates can push us to feel the chill in certain parts of the country. Therefore, having a heater is almost a necessity these long winter months; so we’re going to look at 3 great options to keep your home and toes toasty this season.

Alva 9KG Gas Heater

Having a gas heater, at least as one option, makes sense for a few practical reasons, with the most important being a uniquely South African conundrumL load-shedding. Nothing is worse than being put through a bout of load-shedding when all your heating options are electrical. This gas heater uses a 9KG cylinder that’ll keep you nice and toasty whether the lights are on or off. Price: from R999
