But when they malfunction, it can be frustrating and potentially dangerous. To help you troubleshoot electric blanket malfunctions, here are some tips: On cold winter evenings, stay warm with a cosy heated blanket. Whether you’re cuddling up on the sofa whilst watching your favourite film or are keeping your bed warm until you’re ready to call it a night, an electric blanket is a great addition. Not only are they ideal for keeping warm but they are extremely energy efficient. Save on heating bills with your new heated blanket, as rather than heating your entire home, you can heat select areas. Given the current economic climate, it’s understandable that you may be looking for more cost-effective ways to stay warm and save on your heating bill. Electric blankets can come in handy here, as they're becoming increasingly more energy efficient. HEAT SETTINGS: Generate as much heat as you need, whether that's a gentle warmth throughout the day, or something more powerful for those extra cold winter nights. Start the blanket on the max setting while it's covered, so within a few minutes your bed is toasty Electric blankets are an excellent way to stay warm and cosy during the colder months. However, electric blankets can malfunction from time to time due to various reasons. The most common causes of electric blanket malfunctions include power surges, faulty wiring, and worn-out heating elements.

Power Surges: Power surges occur when there is an unexpected increase in voltage that can cause damage to electrical appliances such as electric blankets. This usually happens when lightning strikes nearby or if your electricity supply suddenly increases or decreases unexpectedly. To protect your electric blanket from power surges, you should use surge protectors which will help absorb any sudden spikes in voltage and prevent them from damaging your appliance. Whether you’re searching for an electric blanket for yourself, our single electric blankets are ideal. If you’re sharing with a significant other, our double electrical blankets and king-size electric blankets allow for extra sharing space, allowing you both to keep warm and cosy.

CONVENIENT TIMER – Set the 10-hour timer to automatically turn off your heated blanket, ensuring safety and energy efficiency without the need to wake up to switch it off When it comes to electric blanket repairs, there are some issues that require professional help. If you notice any visible damage to the power cord, such as fraying or exposed wires, then it is best to call a professional for assistance. Additionally, if your electric blanket is not heating up properly and you suspect that the heating element needs replacing, then this should also be done by a qualified technician. SAFETY FIRST – Rest easy with overheat protection, which automatically shuts off the blanket if it gets too hot, ensuring a worry-free and cozy experienceUnder blankets operate a bit like mattress toppers and tend to come with elasticated straps or as a fitted sheet, so you can secure them to your bed and drift off on top of them. Many can run for up to eight hours at a time, so you stay warm all night long. Over blankets and throws Where the blankets had dual controls, we also looked at how accurate the settings were on each side and if there was any temperature crossover when the settings were different. MACHINE WASHABLE: The corded heat control is detachable, meaning that the blanket can be cleaned in a washing machine at a low temperature, keeping it fresh and clean for repeated use If you have requested that the old product is to be removed for scrap, this must be disconnected in advance of the delivery of the new appliance. However, if you have requested installation of a new appliance our team will, wherever possible disconnect it for you if delivery is done using our own vehicles and personnel. The fleece material of this heated blanket is soft and comforting, helping you keep warm even without the electric heating function. Designed not to irritate skin, it can be fitted snuggly to a single mattress to keep you warm throughout.

Under blankets, for example, can run for up to eight hours, so you could opt for this at night instead of central heating, while a throw can keep you warm while working from home. At the Good Housekeeping Institute, our experts made up a double bed to test each electric blanket on, measuring how evenly temperature was distributed as well as whether the warmth fluctuated or remained consistent over an extended period of time, across different heat settings. We measured energy consumption, too. SINGLE BED: Measuring 153cm x 91cm, with a 40cm skirt, the heated electric blanket is large enough to comfortably fit a single bed. It has a 40cm elasticated skirt to fit the mattress tightly, keeping the sheet flat, and warming across the bed We also tested an electric blanket, which buttons up, allowing you to wear it like a poncho to retain heat. Aside from the extra design features that make them wearable, these ponchos operate in an almost identical manner to electric throws, with a range of temperatures and a timer. Electric blanket featuresAll the heated blankets on our list have auto-shut off settings, which turn them off after a certain amount of time, minimising the risk of any accidents. Some even let you decide how long they run for, thanks to nifty in-built timers.
