With Winter now here accompanied by a worsening cost of living crisis, many people are looking for any cost-effective way to keep warm.
The cost of living crisis has made turning the heating on even for a short period too expensive for many people as energy prices skyrocket.
Money Saving Expert (MSE), a website founded by Martin Lewis, is adept at providing helpful advice on how to save money and try to keep costs manageable, the Manchester Evening News reports.
As temperatures fall and energy costs increase, there is a real danger of hypothermia as many Brits can't even afford to switch on the heating.
Martin Lewis' MSE website recommends halogen heaters as a way of giving some much needed heat, with the devices also being cheap to run.
The team at MSE says: “ Halogen heaters are directional. Once on, you instantly feel the heat. As soon as you turn them off, the heat quickly dissipates.”
While Martin Lewis nor MSE have suggested any specific brands to buy, we have searched the internet for the highest-rated halogen heaters at the lowest prices .
Argos' £40 halogen heater has thousands of five-star reviews.
One person wrote: "My wife required a little extra heating whilst watching TV - so, a few weeks ago, I ordered a Beldray heater online and collected it the next next morning.
"It could not have been more simple and straight forward - thankfully, my wife is delighted with it.
"Moreover, it avoids having to use the more-expensive gas fire -- it directs the warmth straight onto her."
Another said: "I bought this heater as I didn’t want to heat the whole house when I’m working from home in 1 room, it’s ideal for heating only where is needed."
