Overall, the cheapest electric heater to run are infrared heaters, costing around 26p an hour on average. Oscillation is important when there is more than one person in the space since halogen heaters use radiant heat. Electric heaters are more expensive to run than gas central heating, so look for features that make them as efficient as possible and help you to save energy. You can usually operate them at 400, 800, or 1200 watts, while operating the unit at 1200W equates to around 62.4 pence per hour. 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.This heater is appropriate for rooms with strong insulation but does not possess enough power to heat a large space like a garage or utility room.

That’s why we won’t be recommending any storage heaters below. The best electric heating units (depending on your space and heat requirement) that are the cheapest to run and buy are convection, fan, and halogen.

Some halogen heaters make this a lot easier than others. Replaceable bulbs can lengthen the life of the heater in general, so it’s something to think about. That’s because they’re ridiculously expensive. So much so that it would be cheaper to upgrade your entire heating system, both in terms of the initial investment and the running costs, than to fit your property with storage heaters. Choose an electric heater that suits the size of the room. A small heater will struggle to heat a large space, meaning it’ll be on constantly on full – less efficient than a larger heater on a lower setting less of the time. Look for a heater that has at least 400 watts of power; this is enough to heat a small to medium-sized room.If your electric heater doesn’t have its own timer, or is limited to one setting, add a smart plug. This means you can decide when the heater is on and off all day long. In short, halogen heaters produce radiant heat by burning halogen gas, unlike conventional heating appliances that use conductors or heating rods. This way you will be saving a lot of energy. Another factor to take into account is the ease with which the bulbs may be replaced.
