Electric Heaters

Commonplace in the household, office and retail spaces, electric heaters can provide enough warmth for a variety of people, in small rooms and large rooms.

They’re brilliant for keeping the cold air out quickly and efficiently. The electricity they use is converted into heat which creates a cosy milieu.

Also, they do not sacrifice the planet since they do not produce any emissions. Oil filled radiators in particular are rapidly growing as a home favourite during the cost of living crisis as a cheap-to-run alternative to gas central heating.

Electric Heaters in the UK

Types of Electric Heaters

Like an electric stove, cars, clothes, plants and people, electric heaters come in a whole host of shapes and sizes, all serving a purpose in their own unique way.

Understanding the types of heaters on the market – namely from the increasingly popular range of electric heaters – is key to finding the one that serves you. That is, the heater that will keep you adequately warm and comfortable as the seasons come and go.

We are all different when it comes to our heat tolerance. Some might be okay with one setting while others require multiple settings to alternate throughout the day. Some might require powerful outdoor warming while others just need to heat up a small corner indoors, as insulation takes care of the rest. That’s why it’s so important to get your purchase right – tailored to your needs.

Make the correct decision by choosing one of the below.

• Glass panel heater: These electric radiators are usually wall-mounted and use convection to distribute heat. They do a good job of heating rooms at home and are an excellent replacement for central heating.
• Fan heater: As you would expect, these storage heaters use a fan to circulate warm air throughout a room. 1500W models are very popular among household users for domestic use.
• Oil-filled radiator: With these heaters, the oil is heated with an electrical element to create heat. Powered by a standard BS plug, they’re a solid option for portable heating.
• Halogen heater: Infrared radiation produces heat in the halogen bulbs to warm a small space. Ideal for home offices, living rooms and bedrooms, these portable heaters give you consistent heat all day.
• Patio heaters: Who said your patio was reserved for entertaining guests in the summer? An electric patio heater can be used to keep everyone at a good temperature year-round, even in enclosed spaces.

FAQ about Electric Heaters

Fun fact: there are many fun facts about electric heaters. Like the fact they are an eco-friendly choice, or that the creation of the electric heating element started with an invention called ‘Chromel’ – an alloy that could withstand high temperatures, leading to the birth of the electric heating element.

But what about the electric heaters for sale on our website? Here are some things to know.

What is the most efficient electric heater?

Every electrical heater has its benefits, so the most efficient would depend on individual needs and circumstances.

For instance, if you want a small heater for your bedroom that heats up quickly, a convector heater may be an ideal choice. If you want something cheap and cheerful that does a super job, oil-filled heaters would be worth your money. It varies from person to person. And on room size, too.

All of the highest energy efficient electric heaters should be Lot 20 Compliant – meaning it is part of the drive to reduce Europe’s energy usage. They will also have open window detection to reduce running costs.

Is electric heater safe?

Yes, an electric heater is completely safe as long as you follow the instructions in the user manual.

Some heaters, like wall mounted units, have thermostat control and/or a timer to ensure the temperature is reasonable and the heater is not kept on longer than necessary. Portable electric heaters may also have a tip-off function.

It’s probably best not to have fan heaters on overnight as they can make the air feel dry. They can overheat too if auto shut-off is not featured. Check the manual for guidance if you are unsure.

Does electric heaters use much electricity?

A high-wattage electric heater with thermostat uses much more electricity than low-wattage models, but this can be made cost-efficient by using timers, as well as eco modes that use less power.

The good news is that electric heating is always going to be cheaper than central gas heating. What’s more, it is especially useful for heating specific areas. That’s necessary when you don’t need to heat the whole house but only one targeted spot. Like how you’d sit by a cosy fireplace in the living room.

What is the best heater to save electricity?

Any room heater labelled ‘energy efficient heating’ is best for saving electricity. These include ceramic heaters and oil-filled radiators that give the user consistent warmth.

Halogen heaters are also a great choice for saving electricity in small spaces.

Tip: using smart thermostats that control the timescale you are heating for, keeping your home or workspace well-insulated to avoid needing high-temperature electric heat as well as zone heating to avoid wasting energy on unused areas can all keep your energy bill low.

What are the risks of electric heaters?

It is important to be aware that while radiant heaters provide many benefits, there are risks involved with anything hot, especially electrical.

These risks include:

• Burns: If you touch a fan heater or the heating element while in operation, you may encounter burns. Reduce this risk by NEVER covering the heater and avoiding close contact until it has cooled down.
• Fire hazard: Warning! Leaving your electric wall heater unattended or too close to objects can present a fire risk. Avoid this at all costs. Also, plug your heater in directly to a wall socket and not an extension cord – especially high-wattage machines.
• Electric shock: If the cord on your electric heater is broken and it is still under warranty, report this for an immediate replacement and do not use it. Discard of the heater safely and get a new one if your warranty has expired.
• Poorer air quality: Many units, like convection heaters, can create a dryness in the air that makes breathing unpleasant. Switch to lower settings in this case and avoid overusing the heater to create a cleaner environment.

Does electric heater cause carbon monoxide?

Nope! One of the best selling points about electric heating is that it is less harmful to you and the planet because it produces no emissions.

Unlike gas heating which burns fuels, electric wall heaters run via the electricity source in your home or office. So, if you use solar-powered electricity, for instance, the heater will run on that. Or if you use renewable wind power (which is the most popular in UK homes at present), the heater will operate with that, etc.

If you use electric heating, be happy in the knowledge it is safe from the risk of carbon monoxide emitting into the atmosphere.

So, why buy electric heater appliances at UKPT? They’re an eco-friendly, environmentally friendly choice that goes easy on your bank balance.
