A compact ceramic heater that plugs straight into a wall socket. It has 400W and 800W settings, a thermostat, timer, LED display and remote, and is made to warm one small room.

The RapidHeat heater, a remote control and instructions. It fits Irish/UK Type G sockets, so no adaptor is needed.

At €0.35/kWh, about €0.14 an hour on low (400W) and €0.28 an hour on high (800W). Your cost depends on your tariff.

Used 4 hours a day on low, about €16.80 a month; on high, about €33.60. With the thermostat cycling it can be less.

Per hour, yes: a 2kW fan heater costs about €0.70 an hour. But it also gives more heat, so RapidHeat only makes sense for small rooms.

An oil radiator of 1.5–2.5kW costs about €0.53–€0.88 an hour. RapidHeat costs less per hour but is meant for smaller spaces.

Often, if you only need one small room warm. Heating the whole house to sit in one room usually costs more. For keeping a whole house warm, central heating remains the right choice.

No. No heater turns electricity into heat more efficiently than another. RapidHeat saves money only by using less power to warm one small room instead of the whole house.

Small rooms up to about 12 m², warming in under 5 minutes. Draughty rooms, high ceilings or external walls need more heat.

Yes. It is a popular way to warm a box room or office while you work, without heating the rest of the house.

Only a small, well-sealed one. Most conservatories lose heat too fast for an 800W heater.

No. It is designed for one small room. Large or open-plan spaces need central heating or a bigger heater.

Never. RapidHeat has no IP rating, so it must not be used in bathrooms, kitchens near sinks or any wet area.
