A note on heaters and energy usage

Are you looking forward to getting your hands on one of these heaters? Keep in mind that, on full heat, many of these heaters are likely to draw more energy than any of your other appliances. Most of the heaters available on the market use up to, and even over, 2000W per hour. Currently, energy prices in Australia are hovering around 20 cents per kilowatt hour, meaning that a 2000W heater on its maximum setting will cost 40 cents an hour to run. Might not sound like a lot, but this can add up to hundreds of extra dollars after just a couple of months.

Don't forget the option of an extra jumper, an extra pair of sox, a rug over the knees while watching TV, and going for a walk.....keep moving.

Just need to always be aware that plug in appliances cost more to run than hard-wired..... might be cheap to buy but using these types of heaters will rapidly increase power bills.

I have lived a long time & from a kid with a lovely open fire to air-con, radiators, gas heating with 6 ducts all in the wrong places according to me, electric bars in bathrooms, Warmrays, you name it. Now in my few left twilight years I am convinced if I had my time all over again I'd settle for double glazed windows, heavy drapes, A1 woollen blankets & wear all wool garments. Seriously, my husband radiated heat, but only in bed of course. I had to survive OUT of bed. The old water bottle is my survival kit. I feel safer. A dear old lady years ago we knew, had her last sleep on an electric blanket all alone. In the old days there was no safety cut off. I will never forget how we felt, hence NEVER for us EVER. Faith never insured us for an E. Blanket from then on.
