Mobile Heating - most economical options

Hi, apologies if this is covered elsewhere, but am new to this and struggling to find my way around. I want a heater I can move from room to room. In the past I have always gone for an oil fired radiator, but am wondering if this is still the most economical and green way to go. Can anyone help, please?

    Welcome to the forum.

    All electrical heaters have exactly the same efficiency - 100%. So an oil fired radiator is as good as anything else. However no electrical heater is economical or 'Green'.

    If it is just you alone in the room, you might want to consider a Halogen heater http://www.halogen-heaters.co.uk/

    These are no more efficient than any other heater in that they produce no more heat for the same running cost. Their advantage is that they 'beam' heat toward a person and not heat the whole room.
