Product Information

Divide the number of watts use by the appliance by 1000. This gives the number of kilowatts used by the appliance One other frequently overlooked risk for heaters is water damage. Some of the larger heaters boast water resistance; the halogen heaters on this list do not. As such, please be careful when holding or transporting liquids around your halogen heater–moreover, they don’t make good outdoor heaters in anything other than bone-dry weather. Spilling water on your heater or electrical component can cause short circuits and injury. You could broadly say that convection fires are better for heating a larger space over a longer period of time, e.g. hours, whereas radiant fires are better for heating a smaller space directly in just minutes. However, don’t go discounting this heater on wattage alone. The efficiency here is excellent, which should be great news to people looking to cut down on power wastage – whether for environmental or economic reasons. Its light weight, portability, and safety features are all strong benefits, too. Pros

The difference in price between the cheap brands and Dimplex is much higher for a small heater fan than it is, for say, convection heaters. You’re looking about twice the price for a Dimplex fan heater compared to the cheapest ones available. Chantel Scheepers replies: It seems you would need to invest in either new central heating or alternative in the near future, although the immediate need this Christmas is clearly a concern. Bear in mind that electric prices are set to increase again in April 2023 due to the energy price guarantee changes made by Chancellor Jeremy Hunt.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of using a halogen heater?

As an example, let’s just assume you’re on 13p per kWh for electricity on your current tariff and you have a 1kW heater. Cost calculator Halogen heaters heat whatever you point them at — so they’re a great option if you need direct heat to keep yourself, your family, or your guests warm. On the other hand, they’re not ideal for warming up an entire room. Our guide will focus on the most efficient electric heater of each type on the market. We’ll explain the different kinds of electric heaters, what running costs you can expect, and will tell you what’s the best heater we found after reviewing more than 15 models. Types of Electric Heaters

Remember, the cheapest electric heater for one person might not be economical for another. And that’s because a space heater’s efficiency depends on the type of space you’re trying to heat. There are other variables, too — like the quality of your home’s insulation and its airtightness. Remember — no technology is foolproof. Accidents can happen, so ensuring you have a fire plan is always a good idea. (For your general health, you should have a fire plan ready regardless of whether you own a heater, but it’s particularly important if you use space heaters.) With two heat settings, of 300 W and 600 W, this halogen electric heater is ideal for smaller spaces (though it won’t have the oomph to warm a larger room). It produces instant infrared heat which is great news for when the temperature drops. Of course, caution should be exercised when placing the fire around children. Overall, the fire risk of halogen heaters is low.Changing the settings won’t affect how long it takes to heat up either. Halogen heaters are very easy to adjust and control. These run with high efficiency, so you could potentially get a lot of heat from the energy you use. Just before we get into the detail of analysing the price of this product, we want to briefly highlight the importance of setting yourself a budget before you spend too much time shopping around for a suitable product. It’s all too often that we get carried away when shopping and find ourselves buying a fantastic product, but probably actually overdelivers on what we need and therefore costs a lot more than we should have spent. So spend a bit of time looking around at the sort of price you can expect to pay for products in the Heaters and radiators category and use that alongside your own financial situation to set yourself a budget. Halogen heaters provide instant results – you switch them on and feel heat in just seconds! Advantages of Halogen Heaters
