About Alfredtown

Alfredtown, located in NSW, 2650, experiences a temperate climate throughout the year. However, winters can be quite chilly, making heating a necessity for residents. The average minimum temperature in winter ranges from 3 to 8 degrees Celsius, with the coolest months being June and July.

With such low temperatures, it's crucial for residents to have efficient heating systems in place. One popular option is split system heating, which offers both heating and cooling capabilities. Split systems are highly efficient, providing warmth during the colder months and cool air during the summer. They are also energy-efficient, helping residents save on their utility bills.

For those looking to reduce their environmental impact, solar power can be used to power split system heating units. By installing solar panels, residents can harness the power of the sun to generate electricity, reducing their reliance on traditional power sources. This not only helps the environment but also provides long-term cost savings.
