Halogen heaters tend to be the cheapest radiant heaters as they have a low power rating (but also produce less heat), while oil-filled radiators are often the cheapest convector heater because there is a thermostat to control the temperature.

The benefit is they are hot as soon as you turn them on so they are “Instant On: Instant Heat”

Energy saving – halogen heaters provide heat almost instantly and the radiant heat released by the heaters effectively heats a small area, and this greatly reduces the amount of energy the heaters consume.

Environmentally friendly – halogen lamps do not release smoke so there are no carbon monoxide emissions released from the heaters.

Safety –the halogen lamps themselves do not actually heat up so they are considered safe in most environments.

Easy installation – many halogen heaters are easier to install than many alternate heating methods.
