Halogen Heater for £10: How to Save on Heating This Winter.

According to The Sun: Shoppers at B&Q are actively interested in the new energy-efficient heater as the winter months approach.

This device promises to help avoid early central heating activation for just £9.95, costing only 12 pence per hour of operation.

Heater Features

The 800-watt Halogen heater instantly radiates heat, making it ideal for offices, caravans, garages, and living rooms.

The unit has two power settings, allowing you to reduce it to 400 watts for a more comfortable temperature and energy savings.

This heater is fully portable - you can plug it in anywhere, and it operates quietly without disturbing your work, sleep, or relaxation.

If you accidentally fall asleep with the heater on, it is equipped with a safety system against overheating and tipping.

In case of a technical failure, the device will automatically turn off, providing extra peace of mind regarding safety.

Customer Reviews

The product comes with a three-month warranty and has received many positive reviews from B&Q customers online.

“I bought this for the winter months when it can get cold in the kitchen. A nice, compact device that heats up quickly and very clever energy costs,” wrote one customer.

“Excellent service, very economical in electricity consumption, and compact,” added another.

“I needed something cheap for my spare room, where I work from home. It really gives enough heat, and I can’t fault it, especially for that price!” said a third.

The heater is available online only and is not sold in B&Q stores. It is not available for the 'click and collect' service.

The product features free delivery within 2-4 working days.

The cost of operating the heater depends on the power: at 400 watts, the expenses will be 12 pence per hour, and at 800 watts - 24 pence per hour.

Energy Saving Tips

Halogen heaters are perfect for small spaces and are more economical than turning on heating for the whole house.

They can be used from room to room, which helps significantly reduce electricity costs.

There are also other simple ways to lower your electricity bills – for example, signing up for the British Gas PeakSave program. British Gas customers can join a free program that offers discounts for shifting electricity usage to off-peak hours.

Since the program's launch in 2020, customers have saved over £28 million on their electricity bills, and more than 16,000 customers have saved over £100 each.

Another tip is to turn off devices that are in standby mode when not in use. According to the Energy Saving Trust, turning off such devices can save an average of £45 a year.

Devices that consume the most electricity in standby mode:

• Smart speakers and smart devices
• Tuners and recorders
• Televisions
• Microwaves
• Charging phones, tablets, computers, and laptops

Another recommendation is to switch to energy-saving bulbs.

This simple trick can save up to £4 per bulb per year. LED lights are the most efficient as they consume 80% less electricity while providing the same output as halogen lamps. Furthermore, they last up to 20 times longer, meaning they won't need to be replaced for many years.

With new energy-saving technologies like the Halogen heater, consumers can significantly reduce heating costs during the winter months. This makes them not only economically advantageous but also environmentally friendly choices for most households. Choosing the right heating solutions will help each of us save not only our finances but also our planet's energy resources.
