Verdict
Heat the person and the room you’re in — a small fan or ceramic heater for quick warm-up, an oil-filled radiator for steadier background heat, plus throws and hot-water bottles so you aren’t blasting empty space.

Who it's for
Renters, WFH desks in chilly spare rooms, and anyone watching the thermostat after last winter’s bills — cost-conscious, not whole-house HVAC.
Why now
September is when UK homes feel the first overnight chill. Sorting a safe secondary heater and soft layers now is cheaper than emergency buys during a cold snap blackout of stock.
Match the gadget to the job: fan/ceramic for a short burst while you work, oil-filled for a room you’ll sit in for hours, heated cushion or panel for local comfort. Always follow the merchant’s safety guidance and never leave portable heaters unattended.
Soft warmth extras — hot water bottle, hand warmers, fleece throw — often cut the urge to raise the whole-home thermostat. Guide prices below come straight from the catalogue; confirm kWh and features on the merchant page.
