Terracotta Pot Heater

Being aware of a lot of people in our local community are being forced to heat or eat, or cannot afford to pay the steadily rising prices for their energy, our aim is to provide our community with affordable, efficient heat.
We know (from experience) that heat or eat is a difficult choice, so we have undertaken a project to make that decision a little simpler. The Alt Group has come together to create a wonderful little Pot Heater, which is really effective at heating a single room.
Our Pot Heaters will soon be available for sale and also on a donation basis to referred community members in need.

Why it Works

There's a lot of science behind the way the Pot Heater is structured to allow it to quickly and effectively circulate heat around a room, as well as eliminating condensation which is a huge bonus. The stand steadies the heater making it safe and also safe guards furniture from any heat damage. Because the heater works so well, we want to be able to make the heater available to more people and to people who can't make them themselves.

How it Saves


To run the heater for 4 hours, 4 tealights burn into a small pot hidden inside the main pot, which is connected using a steel rod which draws heat up into the pot faster. The small pot inside captures the heat and heats the air between the two pots which allows the heat to be distributed evenly around a room. For larger rooms you could use two Pot Heaters in different corners to create a lovely cosy heat bubble. Tealights cost around 1p per hour each to burn.
