If you were to try replacing the use of your central heating by putting an electric heater in each room, it will definitely end up costing much more. But despite how often we use electronic devices, buying new appliances can be a daunting, and often expensive, task. Convector heaters are usually taller than fan heaters, but thin and light – making them larger, but still relatively easy to move between rooms.

Portable electric heaters use electricity, which costs 28.62p/kWh under the current energy price cap. Depending on how effective the heater is, they can take anything from 30 minutes to an hour to notably raise the temperature of a medium-sized room, so if you're only planning on using it until the room gets up to temperature, it will likely cost you between 28 and 57p. We set up each heater in the centre of our test room and run it on the maximum settings, with the room starting at a cool temperature. We monitor how much the room temperature changed over the course of an hour using temperature probes. We found the most drastic changes happen in the first half an hour and increases in temperature become more incremental after that. Some brands and specific models can make a splash with consumers. Because of this, other companies sometimes offer very similar products that might be quite a bit cheaper. Nearly all have some kind of carry handle for moving about and many have a safety cut-out feature, which will switch off the heater if it gets dangerously hot.To do this we studied all 66 products that show up in the Heating and cooling category at Currys PC World as well as the 35 from the brand Dimplex.
