FAQ about Household heaters

Think you know all about what heaters house and their heating elements? What about the most common heating types? Find out more in our FAQs.

What is the best type of heating for a house?

A princess heater is a very popular option right now. These are smart ceramic portable ceramic heaters that can be controlled via an app, much like the Sealey one we mentioned. They even have open window detection to save energy.

Other brands you might see a lot are Dyson heaters, renowned for their ability to radiate heat evenly. But overall, an efficient electric heater is best for heating the surrounding air in a house.

Which type of heater is best for health?

Discovering a healthy heating choice is all about finding the right balance between breathing comfortably and enjoying a good temperature.

If the heat is blasted too high and is close to you, it can cause you to breathe in dust which is detrimental to people with allergies. Having a portable convector heater on but with a timer so that it is not overused, as well as keeping it at a little bit of a distance, can make this better health-wise.

But if you want a heater that will not dry the air at all, opt for an oil-filled heater, like a Russell Hobbs 1800W one.

What is the most common heating system in the home?

Central heating is by far the most commonly found heating system found in UK homes. It uses gas to fill the in-built radiators and takes away the draught.

However, these can be on the expensive side to operate. Popular alternatives include Dimplex electric heating options, such as their cheap 2kW oil filled radiators that do not cost a lot to run.

What is the most efficient type of heater?

This depends on your needs. For those freezing days when you just want to get in and warm yourself up quickly, freestanding electric heaters are the way to go. They can heat a specific area rather than circulating heat around a whole room.

For safe use, the heater must be Lot 20 compliant as this assures thermostat settings and overheat protection.

What is the safest heater for sleeping?

For a heater to be safe while you’re asleep, you need to consider electrical safety first, keeping it at least a metre away from combustible materials and ensuring it can be safely left unattended.

You’ll also want to consider if it is expensive to run since it will be on for a long time: usually around 8 hours. Buying heaters with an energy price guarantee and economy 7 tariff is your best bet to making an economical purchase.

Generally speaking, any ceramic heater with an anti-tip sensor or overheat protection is safe to leave on overnight, but do check the manual for safety instructions beforehand.
