Question

Whats the cheapest electric heater to run?

Answer 1

That would be the Halogen type, with bars starting at 400watts.

You get them with 3 bars, most hardware shops, we have two.

Answer 2

The one that's switched off!

Answer 3

The one with the lowest wattage. It won't heat worth a darn but it will be cheap.

Answer 4

they all cost ,the best bang for the buck is a heat pump ,it is more efficient than resistance heat..........tom

Answer 5

Simple rule the more wattage, the more it costs to use usually its 7 pence for a 1000 watt heater an hour. Check your bill it will tell you the costs.

Answer 6

You pay for the wattage.  Makes no difference whether it be a Halogen, oil fill, Cone electric or forced air or small space.  The more watts it pulls the more you will pay.  The cheaper one, low watts little heat.

As an after thought Make sure your electrical outlet can handle the addition of a heater.
