Product Information

Please note some larger products are delivered to kerb-side (the street outside your home), it is at the drivers discretion if they can deliver the item to another location on the property. Each halogen heater is equipped with three heat settings: 400 W, 800 W and 1200 W. They throw out a good amount of heat even on the lower heat settings, making a marked difference to the temperature of small rooms, sheds and workshops.

There are no extra features such as a thermostat or timer, but this quartz heater is still both effective and efficient; the halogen tubes have a long lifespan of up to 8000 hours each.

This halogen heater is fitted with an adjustable thermostat so it won’t just stay on all the time like a lot of halogen heaters. Instead, you can use the dial to set your preferred temperature and the heater will switch on and off automatically to maintain it.

Electricity is typically priced by kilowatt-hours (kWh). A kilowatt-hour is used to describe one hour’s energy usage. Halogen heaters are compact and easy to store, making them well suited to use in small spaces such as caravans. This halogen heater is built by Beldray, another British brand for housewares. They have been in business since 1872 and are a reliable brand. There are three heating modes to choose from: 900 W, 1100 W and 1800 W. It’s also fitted with an eco-mode that automatically adjusts the heating mode according to the ambient temperature. If the room is very cold, the heater will run on the highest setting to warm it up faster. We’re heading for the Dimplex 403TSFTie as our top electric convector heater, and here’s why. If you browse any online store offering convection heaters, you’ll see plenty of cheap, or no-name brands. And generally, you’ll find that the highest-rated products aren’t always the best; they’re simply the cheapest.

Is a Halogen Heater Any Good?

Bedrooms, living rooms, and conservatories are all really popular spots for halogen heaters. So are sheds or garages, provided that the heater is powerful enough ( like the Blumfeldt Rising Sun Mono). Fan heaters are often a popular choice, but they may be noisy and are often not as powerful as other types of heater. Mark Ronald, lead engineer at Hometree, has given his top tips on how to keep your house warm in the winter months.

Marks & Spencer creates turkey roast for four with all the trimmings in gravy that can be cooked in just one hour I’m not really sure what it is; perhaps it’s the mesh grill or the horizontal halogen bars? Or maybe, it’s those old-school red switches on the cream-white casing, so elegantly supported by a single base foot… It is a good build with in-built safety features. For example, if it tips or tilts too far, the heater automatically shuts off, thus preventing fire hazards. 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. If you’re looking for the perfect balance between instant heat, durability, and budget — look no further, the Fine Elements Oscillating Halogen Heater is a great choice. Keep in mind, thought, that at only 1,200W, this space heater is meant to provide direct heat to you, not warm up an entire room. Pros:It is also very light with an adjustable stand as well as a compact size at just 46cm tall. This makes it ideal for moving into a room such as the living room and allowing you to turn off the central heating. There is often a stigma towards heaters that don’t form part of a property’s inbuilt central heating system because they are seen as energy inefficient. However, they can be cost effective when used in the right place, time, and circumstances.

Replace your boiler with an energy efficient one. Half of what you spend on energy every year is down to your boiler, so it's more important than ever to make sure you think about the efficiency of your boiler to make sure you're not paying any more than you should, particularly as energy prices remain high. In 2021, the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS) found that the average costs of energy in the UK are: Once you know how much your energy provider charges per kWh, you can use the equation below to work out how much it will cost to run a heater for one hour. How to Calculate Running Costs An electric halogen heater is one of the best heating methods for outside spaces or those that are particularly draughty (such as an old building without good insulation). And that’s because halogen space heaters direct infrared heat at specific objects (or people), rather than trying to heat the surrounding air. Switch your heating on only when it's needed. The best way to save energy, and therefore how much your bills are, is to schedule your central heating to come on at specific times during the day or to put it on as and when you need it.
