Heating-first, like Hobart
The Limestone Coast runs cool and damp most of the year. Reverse-cycle here is a heating decision, compare the low-temperature output numbers.
SA power prices
Mount Gambier pays South Australia's high tariffs, the efficiency gap between two units is worth more here than the price gap between them.
Stone and timber stock
Limestone cottages and older timber homes need more heating capacity than floor area suggests. Flag the build when you quote.
