From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Winter is here, so the electric blankets are out and the electric heaters are on. If you’re yet to invest in one of the highly sought-after home appliances, here is where you’ll find the best electric heater deals available right now.
While central heating is more energy efficient for warming your entire house, using a portable electric heater to boost the temperature in a small area of your home can help you cut down on your bills and avoid wasting energy. The devices are also useful when other heating options just aren’t available to you.
While prices vary, you really don’t need to spend very much on an electric heater to stay warm. All electric heaters are essentially 100 per cent efficient, even the smallest and cheapest ones, meaning they convert all of the electricity they use into heat.
For example, at full power, a 2,400W electric heater will heat a given space twice as quickly as a 1,200W heater, but it will cost twice as much to run. The best saving you can make is by choosing the cheapest electric heater that still does everything you need it to.
That said, more expensive electric heaters can also come with features such as wireless controls, fan speed settings, timers and safety switches, which can be useful when trying to keep down costs.
