Running Costs

At the purchase price of £44.99 this heater costs £0.009 per hour of usage (before electricity) .

We do however need to factor in the cost of electric, as without juice we won’t have any heat! The current average price per kWh in the UK is 14.7p:

Heater running costs:

Full Power (2000W) – 2.0kW x 1 hour = 2.0 kWh x 14.7p = 29.4p (per hour)
Mid Power (1300W) – 1.3kW x 1 hour = 1.3 kWh x 14.7p = 19.11p (per hour)
Low Power (650W) – 0.65kW x 1 hour = 0.65 kWh x 14.7p = 9.56p (per hour)

Assuming we were to use this heater for 2 hours hours per day.

Full Power – Our monthly electric bill will be £17.64
Mid Power – Our monthly electric bill will be £11.47
Low Power – Our monthly electric bill will be £5.74

With the adjustable power settings and availability of replacement parts, this heater is a great contender when checking which patio heater to buy.

PatioMate’s Thoughts

There’s a shortage of suitable heaters available on the market due to the Coronavirus pandemic. This seems to be one of the only stockists currently still selling patio heaters. Usually these heaters would retail for between £30-35 but at £45 it’s still very affordable.
