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. Don't waste your money heating the outside air!
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).
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.
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.

Heating Technologies Explained
PERFECT FOR SMALL ROOMS
Fan Heaters are cost effective personal heaters, designed to provide instant heat for smaller spaces.

Features may include:
PERFECT FOR MEDIUM TO LARGE ROOMS
Like the small ceramic heater, ceramic tower heaters are an efficient form of portable fan based heating. With their larger heating surface, they are able to heat medium to large sized rooms and don't take up too much valuable floor space.

PERFECT FOR MEDIUM TO LARGE ROOMS
Ceramic Wall Heaters are perfect for those rooms where space is limited. Safety is also a big feature for these products as they are mounted high up on the wall, keeping them at a safe distance from younger ones. They are also a perfect choice for landlords who need to provide a fixed form of heating.
Features may include:
PERFECT FOR MEDIUM TO LARGE ROOMS
Convector heaters provide warmth by pulling air over a heated element. When the heater is turned on, the air is drawn over the element and rises up through the unit and out the top. To speed up the natural convection flow, some models include a fan.
Features may include:
PERFECT FOR ALL ROOM SIZES
Oil Column Heaters warm the air via metal fins that have oil circulating through them. The large surface area of the fins allows more heat to be transferred to the surrounding air.
Feautures may include:
PERFECT FOR MEDIUM TO LARGE ROOMS
Micathermic Heaters combin technology from both convection and reflective heating to efficiently heat air and surfaces. The faster a heater can bring a room up to temperature the less power it uses.
Features may include:
PERFECT FOR SMALL ROOMS
Eco Panel Heaters use convection and radiant technology to draw cold air in and radiate warm air out giving you natural warmth and taking the chill off your room. Wall mountable and light-weight, they are easy to install and have a paintable surface to match any décor.
Features may include:
PERFECT FOR ALL ROOM SIZES
Panel Heaters are convection heaters and provide warmth based on the principle of hot air attracting cool air over a large panel surface. Air is drawn over the element and rises up through the unit and out the top through vents. Panel heaters are typically wall mounted and provide efficient heating in lounges, hallways and bedrooms.
Features may include:
PERFECT FOR medium TO LARGE ROOMS
Similar in design to the Manual versions, the Electronic Panel Heaters have additional features such as Inverter technology, Wi-Fi and Electronic controls included as standard features.
Inverter Technology: Inverter control systems enable smooth change of power to precisely maintain room temperature while saving you electricity.
PERFECT FOR DRAUGHTY ENVIRONMENTS
Radiant Heaters use quartz or halogen tubes that generate heat much like that produced by the sun. The heat rays are absorbed by you and objects but the surrounding air is not heated. Radiant heaters provide instant heat and are ideal for personal heating. These heaters are particularly effective in draughty environments.
