Hi sheepondrugs,

Thanks for your post.

A 2kW heater would use 2 units per hour, if it is set to its maximum heat setting and on for the entire duration. Having a heater that is thermostatically-controlled is an advantage here, as it will turn off when the target temperature is reached and only activate again when it detects the temperature has fallen. Naturally this reduces usage.

You can calculate the typical consumption of a wide range of home appliances using our Appliance Calculator. You may also find the following link useful:

If you have any other questions please don't hesitate to ask.

Thanks,
David
