Affordable Room Heaters and Smart Plug Use Can Cut Winter Electricity Costs
As winter approaches in North India, affordable room heaters under Rs. 5,000 from brands like Crompton, Orpat, Morphy Richards, and USHA are popular choices, with options suited for different room sizes and uses. Using a 2,000W heater continuously can be costly and reduce indoor humidity, causing discomfort. Adding a smart plug with interval scheduling can reduce electricity bills by up to Rs. 1,260 monthly and help maintain healthier humidity levels by cycling the heater on and off during the night.
