When is it worth choosing heating with an electric radiator?

Electric heaters are actually becoming more and more popular. At the same time, they can be used for heating all year round. More and more people choose this solution as an alternative to traditional heating, e.g. instead of gas heating, they choose electric heating and use an electric radiator for this purpose.

In the summer, temperatures can often drop dramatically at night, and turning on the entire heating system for just one night is pointless. The electric radiator is perfect for heating in the transitional period and as an additional heat source in cooperation with other heating systems.

The electric radiator can be turned on whenever needed, which certainly helps reduce costs as the heating does not work all the time. This solution is therefore ecological and prevents energy wastage.

How much does heating with an electric radiator cost?

You often hear that electric heating is really expensive. However, this is not entirely true. Recently, you have probably noticed how much heating prices have increased. For example, the price of gas has increased by an estimated 18%. People who use more gas, e.g. to heat the entire house, paid almost 28% more. However, the costs of electric heating are not that high. If we assume that we pay PLN 0.45 per kWh, the year-round cost of heating a house up to 200 m2 will be PLN 4,500. At the same time, it should be noted that winters are getting warmer, so energy consumption will be lower. Additionally, you can heat the room with an electric heater. To save even more, in the case of electric heating, lower the temperature at night and raise it in the early morning. So how do you calculate accurate heating costs? You need to take into account:

  • how long the heating season in Poland lasts - currently it is considered to be approximately 200 days;
  • how many hours the heater will work - depending on your needs, it can work in continuous mode, but you can lower the temperature during the night or turn on the heater for 20-22 hours.
  • so we multiply the number of working hours per day and the number of days of the heating season, and then multiply it by the estimated power consumption in the heating mode of the device.

Which electric heater consumes the least electricity?

When choosing an electric heater, you need to pay attention to its operating efficiency, which translates into annual heating costs. Low energy consumption is ensured by a convector heater. It sucks air from below and then heats it. Then the heated air rises upwards. It should also be noted that such a radiator does not reach very high temperatures, but heats up evenly.
