As energy prices soar, now’s the time to look for an economical alternative to central heating. Look no further than pay-as-you-go portable indoor gas cabinet heaters.
The Pros of Spot / Space Heating
Why heat the whole house? With the average household anticipating a 40% energy bill increase, a portable spot heater ensures you take advantage of what you’re paying for. The easily-controllable nature of space heaters also reduces wastage.
There are a few types of space heaters, but in this post, we’ll focus on those fuelled by bottled gas – Butane in particular.
Why go gas?
Where the electric space heaters fall down is their rising running costs. By going gas you take advantage of Butane, an external, independent fuel that can be monitored & purchased on a pay-as-you-go basis.
Where can I buy a gas cylinder?
You can purchase a cylinder from your local dealer as well as online from the likes of FLOGAS & Calor.
How much does a Butane cylinder cost?
With different gas suppliers, prices vary between dealers. The below prices are from FLOGAS:
- 13kg Butane gas cylinder + home delivery = £89.25
- REFILL ONLY + home delivery (13kg Butane) =£50.75
*When owning a gas cylinder, you only pay for refills*
What should I consider when buying?
- Your available space- check product manuals to check the heater and your space are compatible
- Mode of heat – there are 3 modes of heat (radiant, flame and catalytic) – all have their own benefits
