The 5 Best Inexpensive Space Heaters of 2023

Drafty houses aren't great for relaxing or working. You may wear a fleece jacket or make hot tea, but only warming the air will make you feel toasty. A space heater is a better and more effective way to heat smaller areas, such a home office, than turning up the thermostat.

Luckily, there are many of affordable space heaters available. It's worth spending more for a model from a top brand since you don't want to risk safety with a cheap, low-quality electrical device (never mind bogus reviews).

Q. Where can I get the most cost-effective space heater?

In most cases, halogen space heaters are the most cost-effective option in the electric space heating market. Their average power consumption is low, too, at just approximately 1200w. In this approach, they contribute to long-term cost savings through reduced power use.

Q. How can one most economically heat a space?

The cost of gas central heating is often lowest once all other costs associated with heating a home have been included in and heat loss inside a given space has been reduced to an absolute minimum. If that isn't an option, try using an oil-filled heater in a big room or a portable electric space heater in a small room, but only for brief periods of time.

Q. Is it less expensive to use an electric heater or a space heater?

Comparing the energy output of a space heater to that of a central heating system reveals a clear and significant difference. The problem is that they are not as effective as central heating systems. Having a space heater in every area of the house and using them all at once will drive up your energy bills, not bring them down. The date of your heater's purchase also matters.

Q. Is there an increase in your power cost from using a space heater?

In the wrong hands, using electric space heaters to keep warm may quickly increase your monthly electricity cost by a factor of two or three. Electric space heaters are notorious for their high power consumption despite their tiny size and claims of efficiency.
