Energy efficient, portable, and great at heating up the house - these are the best heaters if you want to keep warm on a budget
How to choose a heater? Oil-filled radiator, or electric - which is right for me?
There are many different types of electric heater on the market but some are far more economical to run than others. If you don’t own a gas or oil-fired household radiator system and you need to heat a whole room and keep it warm for an entire evening, an oil-filled radiator is arguably the most economical way to do it because it uses convection to heat cool air around it. The hot air it creates rises before permeating around the room.
Like any normal fitted radiator, an oil-filled radiator takes a while to warm up an average-sized room with the door closed – around 30 minutes before you feel any benefits – but because most models have a built-in thermostat, the moment the temperature in the room reaches the thermostat’s predetermined peak temperature setting, the heater will go into standby while still emitting a good dose of residual heat.
Alternatively, if aesthetics are of prime concern, perhaps consider a glass panel heater which can be mounted to a wall or, in most instances, moved around the home and stood on its removable legs. Glass panel heaters are also economical to run because they have high energy conversion efficiency and their radiant infrared waves heat up a room relatively quickly.
