Recently there was also speculation that it would make sense to use a fan heater instead of gas heating to save energy.

"You don't save money with fan heaters, on the contrary, you drive up the electricity bill," said the chairwoman of the Federation of Consumer Organizations, Ramona Pop, the 

editorial network Germany

.

If you want to save, you have to reduce consumption, according to the chairwoman.
