The top electric heater deals for staying warm this winter

It may seem like only yesterday that we were searching for next day delivery fans, but with temperatures starting to fall this autumn, electic heaters will become highly sought after as we start to hunker down for the colder seasons, and here is where you’ll find the hottest deals that are available now.

While central heating is more energy efficient, using a portable electric heater to heat a small area of your home can help you cut down on your bills and avoid wasting energy. They’re also useful when other heating options just aren’t available to you.

While prices vary, you really don’t need to spend very much on an electric heater to stay warm. All electric heaters are essentially 100 per cent efficient, even the smallest and cheapest ones, meaning they convert all of the electricity they use into heat.

For example, at full power, a 2,400W electric heater will heat a given space twice as quickly as a 1,200W heater, but it will cost twich as much to run. The best saving you can make is by choosing the cheapest electric heater that still does everything you need it to.

That said, more expensive electric heaters can also come with features such as wireless controls, fan speed settings, timers and safety switches, which can be useful when trying to keep costs down.

Cooling when it’s hot and a heater for when you’re cold, Dyson’s purifier hot+cool autoreact boasts yet another function, working as an air purifier. Where heating is concerned, it is touted for warming large areas and will only produce heat when it’s needed – so as not to use energy unnecessarily, according to the brand. While this is undeniably a big spend for your home, the deal will save you £100.
