FAQs

1. Why does my portable electric heater keep turning off on its own?

Most portable electric heaters have built-in safety features like overheat protection and tip-over switches. If your heater keeps shutting off, it could be due to overheating, blocked air vents, or unstable placement. Make sure the heater is on a flat, stable surface with proper ventilation and clean filters to prevent automatic shut-offs.

2. Is it cheaper to run a portable electric heater or central heating?

Portable electric heaters can be more cost-efficient for heating small spaces or single rooms, especially if you lower your central heating thermostat. However, if you use multiple portable heaters throughout the house, your electricity bill could spike, making central heating more economical overall in such cases.

3. Can I leave a portable electric heater on overnight?

While many modern portable heaters have safety features, it's generally not recommended to leave them on unattended or while sleeping. If you must, choose a model with auto shut-off, overheat protection, and a timer function, and keep it away from flammable materials and curtains.

4. What type of portable electric heater is best for a drafty room?

For drafty rooms, oil-filled radiators and infrared heaters are excellent choices because they retain and distribute heat effectively, even after they’re turned off. Infrared heaters work by directly warming objects and people, making them ideal for poorly insulated or draft-prone areas.

5. Can I use a portable electric heater in a bathroom safely?

Yes, but only if it is specifically rated for bathroom or damp-area use. Look for IP-rated heaters (e.g., IP24) that are splash-resistant and designed for safe operation in humid environments. Never use standard heaters in bathrooms due to the high risk of electrical shock.
