Features to look for
If you're thinking of buying an electric heater, here are the features to consider.
- Fan: A fan is an effective way to break up the layers of cold and warm air in a room. While noisy, you don't have to use them continuously. Just switch them on for a few minutes, to warm up the room.
- Cord storage: This allows you to stow the cord neatly when the heater is not in use.
- Controls: The controls should be clearly visible, easy to access and easy to use. Markings should be easy to read with good contrast. The more heat settings the better – you'll have more flexibility to control the room temperature.
Safety
Issues to be aware of with electric heaters.

Thermal cutout
All models should have a built-in thermal cutout, to turn the heater off if it overheats.
