Heating
Raditators
Electric radiators are a super handy way to keep warm. They plug straight into the wall, so there’s no faff with installation, and you can move them from room to room whenever you need. Using electricity to generate heat, they’re an energy-efficient option that makes it easy to get the perfect temperature, wherever you are.
Electric fires
Electric fires are a quick and affordable way to warm up a single room. They work by heating metal coils with electricity, then using a fan to blow that cosy warmth out into your space. And the flames? They’re created with clever tech like LEDs, so you get all the ambience of a real fire without the mess or safety worries. Perfect for adding a snug vibe without the hassle.
Look out for
Adjustable flame
Most electric fires let you choose a flame effect. The adjustable LED options make it easy to create the perfect setting with a lively flicker or a soft, calming glow.
Heat settings
With a choice of different heat settings, electric fires make it simple to warm up on chilly nights. Since they usually go 1 up to 9, you can pick a gentle boost for rainy days or a full-on blaze when winter sets in.
Remote control
A remote makes life so much easier. No need to get up – just sit back, relax, and adjust the settings with a quick click. Simple.
Timer
A timer can really help cut down on wasted energy and heat. Just set it and forget it – most models let you choose anywhere from 30 minutes to 8 hours, so you only use power when you need it.
Cooling
Fans
Fans don’t actually change the room temperature – they just keep the air moving, which helps you feel cooler. That’s why they’re perfect for sealed spaces. Most come with classic blades, but if you fancy something sleek, there are bladeless options too.
Look out for
Speed settings
Fan speeds usually range from 2 to 15, giving you plenty of control over how cool you feel. Whether you want a gentle breeze or a powerful blast, it’s easy to find the setting that suits you.
Height
Some fans can be adjusted in height, which is great for switching between focused cooling or spreading the breeze across the whole room. It’s all about getting the airflow exactly where you want it.
Air con
Air conditioning units are perfect for cooling things down when summer rolls around. Most models come with multiple speed settings, so you can pick the level that suits you. And the best bit? Some even double up as dehumidifiers, keeping your space fresh as well as cool.

FAQs
- How does a bladeless fan work?
Bladeless fans are pretty clever. Instead of spinning blades, they pull air in through the base and push it out through a smooth ring at the top. This creates a steady stream of airflow that feels just as refreshing – and it’s safer and easier to clean too.
- Can you leave a fan on all night?
Yep, you can leave a fan on overnight – but it’s worth doing it safely. Make sure it’s on a flat surface, nothing’s blocking the airflow, and the cord isn’t tangled. If your fan has a timer, even better – set it to switch off after a few hours to save energy while you snooze.
- Are electric heaters energy-efficient?
Electric heaters can be energy-efficient – as long as you use them properly. They turn electricity straight into heat, so nothing’s wasted in the process. The trick is to pick the right size for your space and make the most of features like timers and thermostats. That way, you stay warm without racking up the bills.
- Are bladeless fans better?
Bladeless fans aren’t necessarily “better,” but they do have some perks. They’re safer around kids and pets, easier to clean, and look super sleek. Plus, they give you a smooth, consistent airflow.
- What size air conditioner do I need for my room?
Bigger spaces need more cooling power, while smaller rooms can get by with a lighter unit. A good rule of thumb? Check the BTU rating – the higher it is, the more powerful the air con. For most bedrooms and living rooms, something in the mid-range usually does the trick.
- How energy-efficient are air conditioners?
Air conditioners can be pretty energy-efficient, especially the modern ones. Most units are designed to cool your space without guzzling power, and many come with clever features like timers, eco modes, and smart sensors to keep costs down. Look out for the energy rating too – the higher it is, the more efficient your air con will be
- What size dehumidifier do I need for my home?
It depends on how much moisture you need to tackle. For smaller rooms, a compact dehumidifier will do the job nicely. Bigger spaces or really damp areas? You’ll need something with a higher capacity, measured in litres per day. As a rough guide, the more litres it can remove, the better it’ll handle larger rooms.
- How do I choose the right air purifier for my home?
Start with the size of your space and what you want to tackle. If it’s just dust and pollen in a small room, a compact purifier will do the trick. For bigger areas or if you’re dealing with allergies, look for a model with a HEPA filter – it grabs even the tiniest particles. Got pets or cooking smells? Go for one with an activated carbon filter to keep things fresh. And if you want to save energy, check for smart features like timers or auto mode.
- Are electric fires expensive to run?
They’re actually pretty affordable to run. Electric fires convert all the electricity they use straight into heat, so nothing’s wasted. Plus, most models come with handy features like thermostats and timers, so you only use the energy you need.
- Can electric fires heat a whole room?
Electric fires are great for heating a whole room, especially if you pick the right size and power level. Most models come with adjustable heat settings, so you can go from a gentle warm-up to full-on cosy in no time.
- What type of electric heater is best for my room?
For quick bursts of heat in smaller rooms, a fan heater is a great pick. If you’re after something that keeps the warmth for longer, an oil-filled radiator is ideal. Want instant heat and a stylish look? Go for a panel heater.
