compare heater types and there running costs. portable vs conservatory wall attached.

which will be cheaper to run. iv moved my bedroom to a conservatory.
i have a portable heater (i can lift it out an type up what is on the label) but it looks like this one http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Search/searchTerms/4150200.htm but am unsure if its this one as i got it elsewhere.

there is one the builders / electrician put into the conservatory its a wall mounted one that plugs into the electric socket. again i can try find the label on the back and type up anything.

im not sure how to describe the two. im guessing youll need these details to help me work out which is cheaper to run /use.

hope you guys can help. sorry its a bit general.

    I take it that the move is only temporary as a conservatory will make a very cold bedroom especially in winter.

    As far as electric heaters go, for the same amount of heat they will all cost the same to run as for practical purposes no electricity is converted into anything other than heat - unfortunately that means they will all be equally expensive to run.
