Heat only your room in a shared home

Why renters choose plug-in heating

In a rental you usually can't install new radiators, wall heaters or a heat pump. Even when the landlord's heating is weak or expensive to run, you're stuck with it. A plug-in heater gives you control over your own comfort with no drilling, wiring or permission needed.

Keep your own heating costs in check

If you pay your own electricity, heating only your room is often cheaper than running the whole flat's heating. In shared homes it means you can be warm without arguing about the thermostat. Use our energy cost calculator with your price per kWh to see the hourly cost.

Check your lease

Most leases allow portable electric heaters, but some ban specific types. If yours mentions heaters, check the wording or ask your landlord. Never use one with damaged outlets or wiring and report any electrical faults to your landlord.

How many heaters for your room?

A rough guide for topping up a home that has some heating. Cold, high-ceilinged or poorly insulated rooms may need more.

Room size	Typical room	RapidHeat units
Up to 250 sq ft (≈23 m²)	Bedroom, office, small living room	1
Up to 500 sq ft (≈46 m²)	Living room, large bedroom	2
Up to 750 sq ft (≈70 m²)	Open-plan or draughty room	3
Larger spaces	Alongside your main heating	4

What it costs to run

Maximum cost at full power, for common electricity prices per kWh in your own currency. With the thermostat cycling off once the room is warm, real costs are often lower. Try the energy cost calculator with your exact price.

Price per kWh	Low 400W / hour	High 800W / hour	High, 4 h a day / month
0.15	0.06	0.12	14.40
0.25	0.10	0.20	24.00
0.35	0.14	0.28	33.60

Who RapidHeat is not for

We'd rather you buy the right heater than return the wrong one. RapidHeat isn't the best choice for:

Heating a whole house or open-plan floor on its own
Large rooms over about 250 sq ft (≈23 m²) with just one unit (use two or more)
Bathrooms or anywhere it could get splashed with water
People who want silent, fan-free heat (try an oil-filled radiator)

Common questions

Do I need landlord permission to use RapidHeat?

Usually not, as it's a portable plug-in appliance. Check your lease in case it mentions heaters.

How much does RapidHeat cost to run?

At full power RapidHeat uses 0.4 kWh per hour on Low (400W) or 0.8 kWh per hour on High (800W). Multiply that by your electricity price per kWh. At 0.25 per kWh that's 0.10 per hour on Low and 0.20 per hour on High. The thermostat cycles it off once the room is warm, so real use is often lower.

What size room will one RapidHeat heat?

One unit suits rooms up to about 250 sq ft (≈23 m²), such as a bedroom, home office or small living area. For bigger or draughty rooms, use two or more units in different parts of the room.

Do I need an extension lead?

No, and you shouldn't use one. RapidHeat plugs straight into a wall outlet. Extension leads and power strips can overheat with any heater.

Is RapidHeat safe?

It has overheat protection, automatic shut-off and a thermostat. As with any heater, plug it directly into a wall outlet, keep about 1 m (3 ft) clear around it, never cover it and keep it away from water.

What if it doesn't work for me?

Every order from the official store comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Contact support and we'll walk you through the return.
