Which heater is the one for you?

Fan heaters

The fastest heaters, ideal for topping up heat in a chilly room. Some even include “cool blow” feature to act as a fan, giving a perfect two-in-one solution.

Fan heaters are smaller than other heaters and are easily stowed away between uses.

Radiators

Radiators are more durable than other portable heaters, giving strong radiant heat so heating people rather than just the air.

They are ideal for longer term use, especially when investing in central heating radiators.

Convector heaters

Swift to heat and quieter than a fan heater, some convector heaters can even be wall mounted. Best in medium to large rooms.

Electric fires

Electric fires are the most obviously stylish heat source for a room.

All can be assembled at home without professional help- and no chimney is required!

  • •   NB: energy consumption rises with heat output.
• Heat settings- The number of heat settings on the product.
  • •   The greater the number of settings the more temperature control you have.
