How energy efficient are Nobo heaters?
How energy efficient are Nobo heaters?
Why is a Nobo electric panel heater so energy efficient? It is 100% efficient as all the energy used is converted to heating and there is no fan or moving parts which saves on running costs. The thermostatic cycling can save up to 50% on power costs and achieve high levels of temperature control.
Do electric heaters cost a lot to run?
Electric heaters are all considered to be 100% efficient, because they turn all the electricity they use into heat, but this does not mean they are cheap to run. Electric room heaters are all expensive to run and not appropriate as a main heat source.
How much electricity does a house heater use?
Most electric heaters use 1,500 watts, but some are slightly less or slightly more. Let’s go ahead and assume you’ve got a 1,500-watt heater. Since 1,000 watts equals 1 kilowatt, that means your heater uses 1.5 kilowatts of power.
How does a Nobo electric panel heater work?
Nobo Electric Panel Heaters work on the principle of radiant heat. This is universally regarded as a very efficient, healthy and comfortable form of heating. It is multi-directional and works on the principle of warming surfaces and objects within a room which in turn heat the air.
What is the difference between Nobo and radiant heating?
Nobo’s unique design with its large panel surface area means that there is greater heat output, as it passes over the element, which produces natural convection. With radiant heating there is no circulating air to create cold spots, so surrounded by wrap around warmth you will be comfortable and warm at a thermostat setting of around 22oC.
How much does it cost to run a 2400 watt heater?
Times that by your kWh rate with your energy company and it becomes clear these are not cost efficient. A 2400w unit runs with our energy supplier at approx .84c and a 1250w at approx .43c and hour. So roughly $1.27 per hour. During a Vic winter heating is essential. But these do not cut it for any type of cost efficiency.
