Electric heaters

Hi,
We're recently moved into a property with no gas central heating.
We want to put new electric heaters in but every website we go on contradicts from the last one we looked at.
Can anyone give me any advice on the best heaters that work well and don't cost the earth.
Help needed! We are very cold 🥶
Thanks 😊

Moved into a flat this year with ROINTE panel heaters. They look good, instructions for controls are a bit of a pfaff, but got there eventually; set them at 19c, so they come on if the room temp falls below that; when I'm out I just put them on 'standby', ie off.

To heat a whole house I would get dimplex quantum storage heaters and an economy 7 tariff.

All electric heaters are 100% efficient so the only way to save money is to utilise cut price electricity off peak and store it until needed. These modern storage heaters are easier to operate than the old ones and they don't run out so quickly.

Alternatively a ground source heat pump if you have the budget and space.

WFH I use a Herschel infra red heater; so good I’ve bought them for my mum and sister and would strongly recommend them. They keep the room much warmer than the standard electric fan, storage or oil- filled heaters. Plus they’re neat and you can even disguise them with custom artwork ( including your own) to hang on the wall. I saw them on ( I think) and old episode of Old House, New Home when they put them in a garden office. Brilliant and cheap to run.
