Space heaters in October: choosing the most cost-effective option
October evenings cool down quickly. Before turning on central heating, many people use a space heater. But not all heaters are equal: from fan heaters to oil-filled radiators or ceramics, the bill can double depending on your choice. Here’s how to choose wisely.
The electric convector
Cheap to buy, it heats quickly but consumes a lot. Good for a small room used occasionally, not for daily use.
The oil-filled radiator
A bit more expensive, it provides gentle heat and stays warm even after being turned off. More economical over time, perfect for a living room or bedroom.
The ceramic heater
Combining efficiency and safety, it offers fast heating with better regulation. A good compromise for those using it several hours.
Conclusion: The best space heater depends on use. For a rarely used room, a convector is fine. For daily heating, oil-filled or ceramic models are better. In all cases, limiting usage time remains the true key to savings. Pair your heater choice with our 5 habits to cut heating bills and winter home preparation tips for optimal energy efficiency.
