How To Choose The Right Heater

When you buy the right heater, you'll save money on your power bill. But how do you choose?
Well, it all depends on the size of your room, the type of heat you're after and of course, your budget.
Select a heater that will heat your room efficiently- it is better to get a larger heater than the room needs as this will heat the space quicker.
Heating a cold room takes longer than a warm room, so fix draughts and heat loss areas around doors and windows.

Energy Meters

A great tool that shows the level of 'energy/power' your heater is drawing and helps you monitor your energy use throughout the winter.

Thermostats

These allow the heater to register the ambient room temperature and switch the heater on and off automatically to maintain the set temperature.

Timers

Leaving heaters on for too long can be a waste of money. A timer that switches the heater on or off automatically will save you money. If your heater doesn't feature a timer, then separate timers can be used (check the manufacturer's recommendations).

What's your room size?

It's important to establish what your room size is prior to browsing for a new heater. When you use a heater built for your room size, it will be quicker to heat up and maintain your ideal room temperature, meaning you can have it running for a shorter length of time.

Safety First!

Be careful where you position your heater, there needs to be at least 1 metre clearance from curtains, furniture and even people.

Do not use your heater to warm or dry clothes. Keep your clothes rack at least 1 metre from your heater.

Do not put heaters in high traffic areas; this will reduce the risk of them being knocked over.

All homes should have smoke alarms installed. Never leave heaters unattended, especially when children are present.
