Free standing electric radiators.

But windchill factor is only relevant when the air is colder than the target it's hitting. The stream of cold air carries your body heat away, or rather it is heated by the heat loss from your body.
Having hot air blown in your face may feel unpleasant, but it won't cool you down.
I can only speak from experience - a fan heater works best when it is directed away from my body.0 -

Oil filled rads range in size(output) from about 0.4kW to 3.0kW.
£35 a week would suggest a consumption of around 300kWh. If it uses that in autumn it is likely to cost a lot more in winter.0 -
yep ur right i have them running on half heat as well....considering they have been on all day u would have thought i would have been wearing a bikini, not this thick jumper....they only take the chill off the air.0
