Product Information

Both of these heaters run on electricity. While a halogen heater takes 1.2 kWh of electricity, a fan heater consumes 2 kWh. However, don’t go discounting this heater on wattage alone. The efficiency here is excellent, which should be great news to people looking to cut down on power wastage – whether for environmental or economic reasons. Its light weight, portability, and safety features are all strong benefits, too. Pros

A 2kW heater, only being used at half capacity (1kW on the thermostat) will use 13p per hour, but 26p per hour on its maximum 2kW setting. That’s why we won’t be recommending any storage heaters below. The best electric heating units (depending on your space and heat requirement) that are the cheapest to run and buy are convection, fan, and halogen. Another reason this heater is great for small areas is because it’s so compact. It can be stored in awkward areas very easily because the stand folds inwards. There’s also a small carry handle at the top which makes it easy to transport.

So apparently, your halogen heater intakes less electrical power compared to a fan heater. But the difference is only 0.8 kWh. This means both the halogen heater and fan heater will cost you almost the same amount of electricity bill. 2.
