Am considering buying a halogen heater. I know ther are 3 settings on them but has anyone any idea how much it is per hour on each setting on the electric?

If it's 1200w and you were in the UK I reckon about 13-15p an hour.Don't know about Eire.

You will need to know the wattage of the heater.

it is for heating. Its a 1200w yes. But would like to no what each setting costs. Considering buying one but would need to no costs!

If you take 12p/hr for 1200w then 800w setting=8p/hr 400w setting = 4p/hr

A fan heater warms a room up quicker because it moves the hot air round. If you keep the door closed, you can then turn it off for an hour or two. All electric heaters are very dear to run, though.

But these halogen 1s are supposed to be good on the electric!

These halogen ones are meant to be very efficient.

The Bhoys, aren't you better off asking Irish people these questions?

Yer a Johnny Foreigner, what's the use here?

Now ther is absoloutly no call for that potty mouth!
Report punterfleecer • January 15, 2010 8:07 PM GMT
seriously, a mainly British forum isn't the best place to ask?

what about a forum that has lots of Irish people on it where you can get a better answer?

Report punterfleecer • January 15, 2010 8:08 PM GMT
what's the point in asking mainly British people how much per hour to run so and so when it's completely different in EIRE?
Report punterfleecer • January 15, 2010 8:10 PM GMT
am sorry if I seem rude

for example, your bevvy in eire is extremely expensive compared to here, and your petrol is far cheaper

which makes me know not to ask Irish people about monetary stuff, that's monetary not monestary

They may be 'efficient' but at the '1' setting (400watts) it's like trying to warm a room with an old-style lightbulb.
