Product Information

Due to the long list of factors that come into play to calculate your central heating costs, the only way you can confidently compare a heater to your central heating is to install a smart meter.

As well as how quickly the average room temperature increases, we also use probes to check for any areas significantly hotter or cooler than the rest of the room. Please note that an item's colour as shown on the listing is only a guide and may have shade variations with the product itself.More expensive and much slower convectors won't get the heat going as fast, but they'll be better over longer periods. Some portable heaters have useful extras, such as an LCD screen that displays the current temperature or a remote control for turning the heater on from across the room. We monitor how much the room temperature changes over the course of an hour using temperature probes. These heaters can still be bought, but they aren't as popular or widely available as fan or convector heaters.

We've put electric heaters from Argos, DeLonghi, Dimplex, Dyson, Russell Hobbs and more to the test, including electric wall heaters, fan heaters, oil heaters and convectors.However, if you are looking for a good model that comes with a timer function then we recommend you consider the equally impressive Dimplex 3kw Convector heater, which we have also reviewed further down in more detail. But there are smaller, more portable options, such as those we've tested, that are designed for use indoors.

The Glen 500 W Skirting Heater features BEAB approval from the British Electrotechnical Approvals Board as it contains some great safety features. Your safety features with this Glen convector heater include a frost protection and a low heat protection feature.

Designed to fit along your skirting board, this model has a variable thermostat so you can choose how much heat it generates. This halogen heater doesn't oscillate, so you'll need to make sure it's angled the way you want when you switch it on as the heat will only go in one direction.

That said, plenty of cheap electric heaters are quite poor at doing the basic job of keeping you warm.
