KINGAVON Upright Fan Heater, 2000 W, Black

Product Information

Firstly, let’s just go over each of the different types of garage heaters, along with a couple of my recommendations and what I like and what I don’t like. How much success you have with your heater also depends on how insulated your garage or workshop is. If it’s insulated well, it will hold the heat more effectively, and the heater will be much more economical to run; a smaller rated heater would also be good enough. You can add insulation to the garage doors and walls as well as the ceiling. I’m guilty of not doing this but I will be doing this within the next few months with the way energy prices are now. 5 best garage and workshop heaters in the UK GardenMile 10Kw Industrial Space Electric Fan Assisted Heater– A great choice for larger garages and spaces that are perhaps not that well insulated. This is another product from the famous Benross group. They have been known to make quality items for a home and in the garden. The Benross 42400 Oscillating Halogen Heater is a 1200 watt heater, it is free standing and does not need any additional support for it to operate. It has two downsides. It’s pretty noisy, putting out over 50dB while it’s running, and as it can use over 2.3kW when running at full power it’s not the cheapest option for running over longer periods. However, the thermostat does a decent job of powering down once the room has warmed up and it’s very portable at under 1.5kg. It also has safety features, including a tip-over switch. Since halogen heaters contain halogen, it assists them in having a long usage life. Typically, their bulbs have quartz that is fused to assist them in providing high radiation and last long. They can radiate continuous high energy through their entire life cycle. What’s more, their halogen cycle assists them to be more durable and generate maximum luminous energy. Flexibility and Controllability

What we like about this heater is that can run on LPG gas or propane gas and comes with a regulator that you can use. Not all models come with a regulator, and this would be an extra expense.If you have a large area to heat, this is the unit that you can rely on. If you already have patio gas (the green bottle), you can change the regulator to a 27mm clip-on regulator which is cheap enough to buy online or from B&Q. I’m a big fan of diesel space heaters, you can even run them on paraffin and Kerosene but I actually use red diesel. They are very efficient, maybe the most efficient in comparison to gas and electric heaters. They can heat up large garages with ease and burn cleanly. I like that most models also have a built-in thermostat to control the temperature. Finally, as the fuel tank is underneath them and you don’t need to find space for a gas bottle, they are also compact which is a big plus. Look for safety features To improve its portability, this three-bar quartz halogen heater has is made with lightweight. Users can move the heater around with ease. Importantly, lightweight characteristics do not affect the durability and sturdiness of the unit.This mighty machine is economical to run as it uses around 0.73kg in a given hour. I would maybe look at using a larger gas bottle to bring the running costs down. As opposed to other heaters that utilise thermostats to regulate room temperature, halogen heaters consist of a bulb that acts as the heating element and has a tungsten filament which gets heated to result in the instant generation of the required radiant energy. The off function is also instant since it turns off the filament stopping generation of radiant energy. Oscillating halogen heaters contain a fan that usually propels air in the heating system, allowing it to get heated and eventually blowing it out of the system. Other types of halogen heaters use blowers that blow out heated air from the heating system. How Much Would It Cost to Run a Halogen Heater? The Igenix IG9514 Portable Upright 3 Bar Halogen Electric Heater has been designed to be energy-efficient and economical to run. With this heater, you do not have to spend a fortune to keep your house toasty warm. Calor just keeps on giving & giving - but only frostbite and misery, as far as yours truly is concerned anyway.

Features like cool-to-touch are important if you have curious children lingering around. Be sure to look at any safety recommendations set by the manufacturer to avoid any mishaps. This goes without saying, never leave children unattended with the heater on. Based on the average price tariff in the UK, a 1,000W halogen heater equals to 15 pence per hour. That means that a 1,200W halogen heater would have a running cost of 18 pence per hour. What’s more, the energy consumption of a halogen heater is directly connected to the power output, as well as the period you run it at that particular power output. Our Expertise in Heating and Cooling Products The downside to these is you obviously have to connect them to a gas bottle like you do a gas BBQ using a regulator, as shown in the picture above. The type of regulator you will need depends on the gas bottle you use or have. So you may need a 27mm clip-on regulator for a patio gas or a screw-in high-pressure adjustable propane regulator for propane gas bottles. This product has three heat adjustment settings, with a maximum power rating of 1200W. Also, it has a wide-angle oscillation function that allows it to effectively cover the room without leaving any part out.

Electric garage heaters

Convection (or convector) heaters: These designs channel air currents through the body of the heater and out into the room. They may take longer to warm the space, but they’re not as noisy and often provide a more even heat around the room. rated element, three heat settings, oscillation feature, sturdy base, recessed handle, safety tip-over switch. This device is quite easy to use. It has a lightweight and compact design that makes it highly portable. Therefore, you can easily change its location from one place to another in the room. Best for large areas – The wide angles of Highland’s Oscillating Heater is the best choice if you have a larger room to keep warm. Using an industry-standard 3-setting heater, at 400, 800 and 1200W, it’s got all the power you need, but the real difference comes in the oscillation. With a specifically wide 90 °angle of oscillation, it guarantees to reach more into even the further corners of any room, making it an especially good choice for big rooms.

You have 3 settings to choose from, these are, fan on only, 1KW and then 3KW output. You also have a turn-style thermostat so you can regulate the temperature and keep it consistent. The unit also has received an IP44 rating making it safer to use in environments with high moisture levels. One feature this model does have that the more expensive Kingavon model doesn’t have is the frost watch function. If the temperature falls below 5°C the unit will re-activate itself keeping the room at a reasonable temperature at all times. This feature cannot be found on all models and it’s also worth noting that this model could also double up as a greenhouse heater because of this feature. It’s also good because it helps maintain a consistent temperature, so if you have sheets of thin plywood in your garage or workshop (something I have) it can help prevent it from warping.Finally, it has a rating of IP44 and which means that it is safe for use and has passed UK safety standards. Pros The Honeywell Heavy Duty Heater is a really good heater if you have a garage or workshop smaller than 30m².
