Best top up heating

Yes it will, because 2kW is 2kW, whatever type of heater it is, and will use 2kWh per hour of electricity (2 units) if full on.

thank you, I did think that was the case it just threw me how much extra heat comes from one 2Kw appliance compared to another.

Like I said I am still embarrassed I had to ask

As all electrical heaters(of any type) are 100% efficient, as stated above you will get EXACTLY the same total heat output, for the same running cost, from any heater.


The only difference is the manner of delivery. For instance a fan heater delivers almost instant heat but no residual heat, but an oil filled radiator is slower to deliver heat but has residual heat after power is switched off.
