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. 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 You will find that the differences are minimal but they can affect some more than others. Be sure to look for a heater that has a stable construction if used in a working environment. This means it should have a metal case and secondly, an effective heater power output that can sustain heat production. I found that most people would need a 3kw model to effectually heat a triple garage that is well insulated. Most efficient heater – The Kingavon Oscillating Halogen Heater is a good choice for being more efficient with your halogen heater. This is thanks to the remote-controlled timer function, which means you can easily set the heater to go on for only as long as you want.

It comes with an oscillating function, this function allows the heater to oscillate and thus spread the heat evenly over a room. This function can be turned on and off.

If you’re looking for a heater that won’t use much power and helps cut costs on energy bills, your best bet is a halogen heater, a convection heater or an oil-filled radiator, particularly if they have effective thermostat controls. The ideal is to find a heater that maintains a constant temperature without running at full tilt at all times. Fan heaters are more expensive to run but can heat up a room faster. However, if that room is poorly insulated or draughty you’ll find you’re turning on for another blast more often, driving up the running costs. Are there any other features I should look out for? Hands-On Testing: We don’t just rely on specifications; we put each halogen heater through rigorous hands-on testing. This allows us to provide measurements of each device’s heating performance, energy efficiency, and ease of use, ensuring you understand how each heater performs in real-world conditions. Heats up to an impressive 60 metres squared of space effectively (probably half this if you have a drafty garage). 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.rated element, three heat settings, oscillation feature, sturdy base, recessed handle, safety tip-over switch.

The Kingavon heater comes with three preset heat settings: 400W, 800W and 1200W. This setting allows you to control and manage the heat that is emitted to suit your preferences and desires. Generally, halogen heaters are more expensive than conventional lamps. Their quality in energy efficiency also comes with additional costs. Durable and high-quality lamps are more expensive because they are cost-effective and need less servicing. The lamp’s size determines the costs such that larger lamps are usually costlier than smaller lamps.; this is because the larger lamps use more energy than the smaller ones. Size This Honeywell Heavy Duty 2.5kw Heater is a good alternative to the Kingavon 3 kW Industrial Heater if you are looking for a heater that is a little more affordable.

Features Halogen heaters are generally heaters that contain the halogen element in their heating lamp and bulb. The confusion comes in because the halogen available in the halogen lamps isn’t the actual heating element. The main reason they are known as halogen lamps is that in the halogen lamps, there are halogen gases that play the role of increasing the brightness of the bulbs, as well as lengthening its lifespan. What’s more, the halogen protects the halogen from darkening. As a result, halogen lamps are pretty safe to work at higher temperatures than lamps that don’t use halogen gas.

Sealey AB458 Space Warmer – Paraffin Kerosene & Diesel Heater– Compact and great for large garages/workshops. 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.

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.

In the same light, if you need lower heat output, you can easily switch to the 400W power setting. Some heaters come with a timer to switch them on just for the evening, say, while others have a temperature display or a remote control. A few heaters are even introducing Wi-Fi connectivity and smart controls, so you can activate and control your heater using an app – or even Alexa voice commands.
