The advice is on a list of energy-saving myths, which was updated this week to reflect the current top tips.
The article says: ‘’Electric heaters are efficient at converting energy into heat’’, adding that they’re a ‘’cost-effective solution if you’re heating just one room for a short period of time’’.
If you’re aiming to save money, it makes sense that you won’t want to spend loads in the first place.
One of the most affordable heaters we’ve seen is the Belaco 1200W Upgraded Halogen Heater, which also has very good reviews.
It has a super-slimline design, so it won’t take up too much space, and is easy to move around to different rooms.
In order to keep you warm, you will need to locate it in the same room as you, but as it’s lightweight and has a carry handle, this should be pretty easy to do.
One handy way to use this heater would be in your office, to heat the room you’re in while you work from home, instead of wasting central heating on the whole house.
You can also switch between three heat settings depending on how much warmth you need.
