I'm looking to put an extra column radiator in my living room and when doing my research found one secondhand on Facebook marketplace that I figured could help me save some money on what can be expensive radiators. Anyway, the advert had a link to the sale page for the radiator:
Whilst looking I thought I'd take a look and see what other options are around and found this on B&Qs website:
The first is £265, 2m x 40cm, 3700 BTU
The second is £165, 1.8m x 38, 5010 BTU
What I'm looking for help with is can someone explain the difference here? How is the cheaper, smaller one putting put out so much more heat? Or is BTU not the best value to compare on (like BMI for a person's health etc...). I'm a novice and don't know why I, or anyone, would buy the more expensive one. But there must be something I'm missing.
Thanks very much for your help
