As we’ve stepped into 2025, we’ve noticed something big—home heating has changed. With rising energy prices, a shift towards sustainability, and smarter technology than ever before, energy-efficient electric heating is leading the way.
Not long ago, electric heaters had a bad reputation—expensive to run, inefficient, and often a last resort as a supplementary solution during those cold winter months. But today? It’s a completely different story. Modern electric heating is smarter, more efficient, and packed with innovation, making it a serious contender against traditional heating systems.
So, why the surge in popularity? Well, there’s reasons:
Better technology – Smarter controls, improved materials, and innovative designs mean more heat for less energy.
Easy installation – No pipes, no mess—just plug in and go.
Minimal maintenance – No boilers to service, no leaks, no stress.
Works with renewables – Future-proofed for solar, battery storage, and greener tariffs.
Consumer-driven change – People want smarter, more sustainable homes, and electric heating delivers this.
Net zero goals – Governments worldwide are pushing for lower emissions, and electric heating fits the bill. The UK’s goal is 2050 - let’s make that happen!
Today’s top electric heaters use cutting-edge materials and AI-driven learning to optimise heat output, reduce waste, and keep running costs low.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through the top 5 energy-efficient electric heaters of 2025—the game-changers redefining home heating. Get ready for smarter warmth, lower bills, and a greener future. And to give you real information, we’ve gone through reviews for each model, reflecting REAL customers’ experiences and opinions.
The Beldray 2000w Smart Ceramic Core Radiator provides users with the option of it being wall-mounted or portable, with 360 degree wheels. So, if you’re looking for a temporary heating solution, and aren’t fussed about controls being slightly more technical, this could be a great option for you.
Key benefits of this Beldray radiator include:
7 day programming
Option to increase temperature on the spot
Can be controlled from smartphone
Open window function (auto switch off if a window is open in the room)
Lockable screen to keep children safe
Guarantee: 1 year
Reviews:
“Great heater, Heats up fast, Wall mountable or can be on wheels, Wifi enabled can download an app to use it, As its got a ceramic core it stays warmer for longer, When the thermostat reaches temp its switches off the power and the stored heat in the ceramic, the radiator uses that instead of using more power (electricity), only when there isnt enough heat in the ceramic then it will use more power to warm up again.”
”I originally purchased another brand’s version of this for at least double the price. It was faulty so went back. Then found this one at so much cheaper. The units are exactly the same, except this has wheels. Awesome. Rad gets nice and warm. Nice and quick. Heats up a nice 5x6m room. I highly recommend. If you have any issues in setting up, just follow the ecostrad iq ceramic instructions.”
“If I could give zero stars I would. Absolutely dreadful product, literally impossible to connect to wi-fi, the instructions are so badly written it’s a joke! The touch screen is poor quality and not fit for purpose. Customer service were very helpful when arranging a return though but I really would not recommend this product at all.”
The Dyson Purifier could be great if you want a fan heater for some supplementary heat in a certain room. But it’s even more than that; it also purifies the air AND works the opposite way, providing cool air in the warmer months. Capturing dust, allergens, and bacteria, the Dyson purifier could be great for those with allergies and the like!
Some more benefits include:
Air Multiplier technology (reaches throughout the whole room to remove 99% of pollutants)
Four internal sensors interact to display air quality
Self-regenerating technology means the catalytic filter never needs replacing
Providers purified and heated air throughout the room until the target temperature is reached
Guarantee: 2 years
Reviews:
“I have asthma and I was suffering with an irritating cough. I was not sure what was triggering the extra issues but this unit has made a massive difference.”
“This is my second dyson purifier, I returned the first one because of unbearable smell ehile heating. This one is working fine for now but there are scratches on the head part. I thought I bought a new product but I guess dyson sells used. Be careful with it.”
“I really like the fact that you leave it and it does the work for you. Sometimes I find it ‘over sensitive’ but I understand the job is to clear the air and it does that well. The only reason I removed one star is the lack of option for colour theme. I would prefer any other colour than gold but there weren’t options”
If you’re looking for a panel heater that provides aesthetics and is easy install and control, the AENO may be your perfect fit. With a combination of infrared and convection heating methods, this heater can provide warmth quickly and efficiently.
Some key benefits include:
silent running
hypoallergenic - doesn’t blow air around or dry the air out
option for animal and child safety lock within the app
can be mounted on a wall horizontally or vertically to suit the room
Guarantee: 3 years
Reviews:
“This heater is an interior design dream! We’ve just had an office pod in the garden and my poor wife was using an old fan heater which was noisy and used a lot of electricity. I soon saw to that after watching some YouTube reviews. Product is really sleek and works well.”
“This is by far the best heater in the market. It combines stunning design with efficiency and ease of operation. Most importantly, it doesn’t smell and is fairly energy-efficient! 10/10.”
“Beautiful heater, nice glass finishing (A+ of 5 stars) - easy to set up/control on your phone and with Alexa (A+ or 5 stars) - it’s greater for the office under your desk so you can keep your legs warm (A+ or 5 stars) - energy efficient (A+ or 5stars) - room approximately 24 square meters it’s not possible to heat up even on high setting of heater which is 120C (big big F - 0 stars) I bought because I heard good reviews and preferments but all two nights I was freezing now I want to return and hopefully get my money back”
Similarly to the Beldray, this Devola heater provides consumers with the option to keep it free standing, or use it wall-mounted. With its top-notch smart controls, this heater can work with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Tuya Smart App.
Some further benefits include:
Open window detection

Reviews:
“Quick, easy and delivered on time. Can’t complain about that! Also a great product. I have these heaters all around my house.”
“Have used it already on numerous occasions I was extremely impressed by the collection of water. Easy to operate and move around good design.”
“The devola heater wire and plug gets dangerously hot. Will not be purchasing anytime soon. It does warm up the room. However it took all day to reach the desired temperature.Heat comes out from front but you will have to sit and watch the heater as I don’t feel safe. I purchased the futura heater from b and q and I must say it’s alot safer and warms up room within 15 minutes and plug and wire does not get hot. Safe around children and pets.”
Last but certainly not least, we have the NEOS electric radiator. We couldn’t end this blog without mentioning our own!
Combining all the best qualities of electric radiators on the market is the award-winning NEOS, our very own symbol of British innovation and manufacturing. But we don’t just have the one, we offer 3 different models, 11 different sizes and over 1625 colours!
The NEOS has been designed and built specifically to save you money. The following key features work together to make this happen:
Soapstone Core - stores heat which it then releases once the electricity has been switched off.
Serpentine & Cool Wall Technology - patented back panel holds air within the unit, and in contact with the core, for longer meaning that when it’s released, the air is warmer.
Dual Convection - doubles the amount of convection, in the same time frame
Aluminium Casing- Typical radiators are made from mild steel. Aluminium is 290% more conductive
Not only do we have these money saving features, we also provide a 100-day warmth guarantee AND a 25 year warranty. If, within this 25 years, one of the panels becomes damaged, the individual panel can be replaced easily, thanks to our modular design. Similarly, if you redecorate or want a whole new look, you can easily change to one of the other 1625+ colours without having to change or replace the entire unit. The panels can simply be swapped. This means no hassle and no mess.
The newest benefit associated with our NEOS is Trust’s partnership with Octopus Energy. This enables those who have both NEOS electric radiators installed, and use Octopus Energy as their energy supplier, to make use of their ‘Cosy Tariff.’ This is a tariff that works similarly to Economy 7, in that it allows users to make use of 8 hours of electricity at a 51% lower tariff.

So there we have it, the top 5 electric heaters of 2025. To remind of the key points, we’ve created the following table, in the aim of making your decision as easy as possible. When choosing your electric heating for this upcoming year, it’s important to consider more than just the initial cost. Effectiveness, maintenance and running costs are vital aspects, and noise and aesthetics should be considered too!
Whether you choose to go with the NEOS or one of the other options, feel free to get in touch with any questions or queries, and we’ll do our absolute best to help you!
