Room Heater Information, Links and Bargains

Welcome to RoomHeater.co.uk, the one-stop site for domestic room heater buyers, with our home energy information and general heating links plus some great value electric radiators, fan heaters and other ways of efficiently taking the chill off an individual room.

When the temperature heads south and the ground begins to freeze, many of us look for affordable ways of heating particular parts of our homes. If you need a bit of extra warmth in the bedroom for half an hour when you get up in the morning or if you're coming in from the cold after a day out in the snow, a room heater may be exactly what you're after. As the name suggests, a room heater heats the air in a single room. You don't need to crank the central heating boiler right up, you won't be toasting the whole house and your finances shouldn't be hit so hard. Room heaters can be a saviour to those who are without central heating, especially on the coldest days, but it should always be remembered that no form of heating is cheap to run. The keys to getting the most out of your room heater are... (a) Stay safe at all times. (b) Be realistic; don't expect your heater to bring a ballroom sized space up to temperature. (c) Be aware of the energy / power / fuel consumption and the cost of running your heater compared to your other options.

If you need a solution for heating your entire house around the clock, then you will need to look at permanent fixed options such as gas or oil fired central heating. If, however, you have a relatively modest room, and you don't want to heat it for a long period of time, then a room heater may well be for you. Prices start at less than £20 for a cheap electric fan heater and go up to over £100 for the higher end convection and radiant heaters.

Choose your Room Heater with care. It is essential that your heater is suited to its environment, the people using the space and that safe operation is possible at all times. Elderly relatives will have difficulty moving around larger heaters. Naked flames are not suitable in many situations and gas, electricity and kerosene can all be extremely hazardous if not treated with the utmost caution and safety in mind.

Safety Precautions. Room heaters come in a variety of types and sizes, and it is essential that you follow all the manufacturer's safety instructions and take great care when using the appliance. See the 'Safety@Home' section for more details.
