Beldray EH0197 Halogen Heater

Product Information

This heater is simple to control. The buttons at the top are clear and easy to use. Plus, at just over 1 kg, it can be easily lifted and transported to another room if needed. This heater is appropriate for rooms with strong insulation but does not possess enough power to heat a large space like a garage or utility room. The best halogen heaters offer at least two power levels, allowing for temperature and energy consumption flexibility. It’s also incredibly portable, and provides excellent heat output given the price tag. It can be used in a conservatory, or just in the living room or bedroom on a chilly winter day. Overall, the cheapest electric heater to run are infrared heaters, costing around 26p an hour on average.

The takeaway is this: If you want to get instant heat at a specific spot (your dinner table, armchair, sofa, etc), and you don’t care whether the entire room gets warm, halogen heaters are the way to go. This is what makes them so efficient — they don’t waste energy on empty corners of your room. Where should I use my halogen heater? Remember — no technology is foolproof. Accidents can happen, so ensuring you have a fire plan is always a good idea. (For your general health, you should have a fire plan ready regardless of whether you own a heater, but it’s particularly important if you use space heaters.) There’s no timer or thermostat, but this does make the heater exceptionally easy to use. There are just four large buttons situated across the top of the heater. They are and they aren’t. It will depend on what you are trying to achieve. To heat a whole house would not be that efficient, you’d be better off with central heating.The next step for us was to look at all of the products that fall within the Heaters and radiators category, of which we found 55 products at Argos. So we pulled together all of the prices of these products to analyse the average prices as well as finding the cheapest and most expensive options. It is better to use a Halogen heater that comes with a built-in thermostat to attain more efficiency. The best halogen heaters have at least two adjustable power settings, giving flexibility over both temperature and energy consumption. A built-in thermostat will also help with this. In contrast, most other heaters actually release warmth into the surrounding air. So, if you’ve got an oil filled radiator running for a while, eventually your room will become warmer. But you’ll have to bundle up while this warmth builds up — it’s definitely not instantaneous. Halogen heaters provide near-enough instant heat. After you switch them on, you’ll feel the heat within just seconds.

Now more than ever, it’s useful to know the cost of running heating appliances. The good news is that electric heaters are very energy efficient. This is due to the fact that halogen heaters do not heat the air; instead, their warmth is predominantly conveyed to the things in front of them. Oscillation isn’t necessary for usage as a personal heater.The three bar quartz halogen heater is an excellent choice for keeping your home warm throughout the chilly winter months. Compared to convection and oil-filled heaters, halogen heaters are probably marginally more efficient for heating a single room. In addition, the heater has three power levels, giving you a larger range of warming options than comparable heaters.
