Pros of a portable gas heater 

They're portable – so you can point them in different directions, move them from room to room, store them away in summer and take them with you when you move house. 

They're very efficient – about 90% of the energy content of the gas is transformed into heat. All models sold in Australia have to be certified and carry an efficiency label (up to six stars, with six being the best). 

They provide instant heat – and lots of it. Unflued gas heaters come with a capacity of up to 25 MJ/h (megajoules per hour). That's equivalent to more than 6kW of electric heating – the same as you'd get from three 2kW electric heaters. 

They're much cheaper to run than portable electric heaters, even though they're a lot more expensive to buy. 

They produce a quarter to a third of the carbon of an equivalent electric heater (unless you get your electricity from renewable sources). 

Modern models have a range of safety features that switch the heater off in case something's wrong – for example, an oxygen depletion sensor if the oxygen level in the room gets too low, flame failure protection in case the flame gets extinguished, and a tilt switch in case the heater tips over.
