PORTABLE HEATING - SLIMLINE HEATERS

Running Cost Information

Portable Heating

It is not possible to provide detailed information on running costs because there are so many variables to consider – what electricity tariff will be used, how long the heater will be on for, what setting the thermostat will be on, etc – all these factors need to be taken into account when working out the running cost of a heating system.

However most of our portable heaters incorporate energy saving features such as thermostats, climate control and half heat switches – all of which will reduce energy usage and therefore running costs.

It is also worth noting, that there have also been significant increases in the price of fuel in recent years, and whilst electricity prices have gone up, the increases are not as significant as gas. In fact Energywatch – the independent gas and electricity consumer watchdog – reported in July 2006 that some energy suppliers had increased the cost of gas to their customers by as much as 92% since 2003, while the price of electricity had increased by only 54%.
