Thomson's Heating & Cooling

Thomson's Heating & Cooling is part of The Thomson Group, a family business that has been working across the Echuca Moama region since 1962. What started as an electrical contractor has grown into a full-service heating, cooling, refrigeration and electrical business, with a showroom on Hovell Street staffed by people who know the difference between what sells and what actually lasts.

The Parkray Aspect 5 Eco is on display in the showroom, set up on the high plinth. It is a static display rather than a burning model, but it is a good way to see the size of the heater, the cast iron door and the large viewing window in person. The high plinth lifts the fire off the floor so the flame sits closer to eye level, and it reduces the hearth you need, which is worth seeing before you plan your install.

The Aspect 5 Eco is the most compact model in the Aspect Eco range, with a peak output of 9.6kW and heating for up to 140 square metres. It suits living rooms, renovated cottages and smaller open-plan spaces. If you are weighing it up against the larger Aspect 8 or Aspect 14, the team can talk you through output, log length and room size so you buy for the space you actually have.

Winters on the Murray are colder than many people expect. Frosty mornings and foggy river days are common through June and July, and a wood heater gives you steady radiant warmth that fills a room and keeps going when the power does not.

Drop into the Hovell Street showroom on a weekday to see the Aspect 5 Eco on its high plinth and talk through your options.
