Special Wiring and Off Peak Meters

These are fairly large heaters, wall mounted, which use off peak (cheaper) electricity during the night, and store the heat to release it slowly during the day. Special wiring and off peak meters must be installed, and the electricity supplier must arrange for you to be put on an 'off peak' tariff. It is an option to consider if central heating is required and gas or other fuels are not available. It is probably the cheapest form of central heating to install, but can be expensive to run. It does not respond quickly to sudden changes in temperature. If there is a sudden cold spell during the day, it will not be until the following night that adjustments to the heating will take effect Honda portable generator fuel choices.

These are cheap, small, portable and heat up quickly. They are ideal for top-up heating. They can also be used, in summer, as fans only. The noise of the fan can be irritating though, and if this is a consideration, it is better to use convector heaters.

Again ideal for top up heating, but slightly slower, bigger and more expensive to buy than fan heaters. They can be floor standing or wall mounted. They are almost silent though, except for the fan operated ones, which don't seem to have any advantage over the smaller and cheaper fan heaters.
