Electric Heating in Montenegro: Prices of Oil Radiators, Fan Heaters, Convectors and Storage Heaters, and What They Use (2026)

An oil-filled radiator in Montenegro cost from €41.25 to €124.02 on 25 September 2026, a basic fan heater from €9.99, a panel convector from €34.90 to €216.67 and a night storage heater from €500: those were the prices at Okov, TehnoPlus, EuroTehnika and Bralex. An hour of running a 2 kW appliance costs about €0.23 at the high tariff and €0.12 at the low tariff under EPCG's 2026 price list, excluding VAT.

A storage heater or a stronger heater often needs a new socket or a dedicated circuit; on Glatko you can send a free request, without an account, to electricians in Podgorica. Below are the prices by type of appliance, the electricity bill and what each appliance is good for.

What people search for

On 25 September 2026 Google completed uljani radijator (oil radiator) first with uljani radijatori crna gora (oil radiators Montenegro) and then with uljani radijatori okov. It completed grijalica (heater) with za kupatilo (for the bathroom), na struju (electric) and za sobu (for a room), and ta peć (storage heater) with ratings from 2 to 6 kW; people also search for najisplativije grijanje na struju (the most cost-effective electric heating). In Russian people search for обогреватель черногория (heater Montenegro) and есть ли отопление в черногории (is there heating in Montenegro), while English searches for heaters in Montenegro returned no suggestions.

Appliance prices

We read the prices in four shops, with the discounts that applied that day. At Okov almost every appliance was discounted by 15% to 33%. How we choose and label price sources is explained on our page on how we measure prices.

Oil radiators at Okov ranged from €50.92 for a Neo with 9 fins and 2000 W to €124.02 for a Tesy with 12 fins, 2500 W and a fan. At EuroTehnika a 9-fin Beko had a cash price of €41.25 and a retail price of €55; two 11-fin Beko models cost €69 and €83.25 in cash. TehnoPlus had three oil radiators, from €67.15 to €92.65.

With panel convectors the difference is the thermostat. The cheapest at Okov, €34.90, has a mechanical thermostat, Tesy models from 1000 to 3000 W cost €78.97 to €99.90, and NOBO models €179.90 to €216.67 for the version with Wi-Fi control.

What an hour of heating costs

Under EPCG's household price list, in force since 1 January 2026, a kilowatt-hour in the basic two-rate model costs 5.2424 cents at the high tariff (VT) and 2.6212 cents at the low tariff (NT). With network services, losses and the renewables charge that comes to 11.5462 cents at VT and 6.0096 cents at NT, and 9.5229 cents on a single-rate meter. VAT and the monthly charge of €0.6916 for a connection up to 8 kW are not included.

This is our calculation at those prices:

An oil radiator, a convector, a fan heater and a storage heater all turn electricity into heat, so for the same amount of heat they use the same number of kilowatt-hours. The difference is when they use it. A heater runs when you switch it on, usually during the day, at the high tariff. A storage heater charges at night, at the low tariff, and gives off the heat during the day; that is why the same kilowatt-hour costs it almost half as much. We could not check the exact low-tariff hours on the EPCG website, because the page with the tariff intervals returned an error on 25 September 2026; they are shown on your bill and meter.

An air conditioner or a heat pump uses less electricity for the same heat, because it takes heat from the air. Prices and running costs are in our guide to heat pumps, and if you heat with solid fuel, in our guide to pellets and pellet stoves.

What to choose

• Occasional heating of one room or the bathroom: a heater or bathroom heater; they are cheap but use the high tariff.
• Steady heating of a room: an oil radiator or a panel convector with a thermostat; a convector warms the air faster, a radiator holds the heat longer.
• Heating a flat all day with a two-rate meter: a storage heater, because it uses the low tariff. It is dearer and heavy, Bralex lists 180 kg for the 3.5 kW model and 242 kg for the 4.5 kW, and it needs its own connection.

A storage heater needs an electrician

For the 3.5 and 4.5 kW storage heaters Bralex says you need to buy cable for the installation: 5 × 2.5 mm² for a three-phase supply, 3 × 2.5 mm² for single-phase, and a cable for the thermostat. The 4.5 kW heater works only on three-phase. Bralex charges €65 to €70 extra for the stand, cable and fitting. Before buying, check the approved capacity of your meter: EPCG charges network capacity in steps up to 8 kW, from 8 to 16 kW and above that. When a new circuit or more capacity is needed, it is a job for an electrician; prices are in our guide to rewiring. A registered electrician issues a fiscal receipt for the work through the Tax Administration's electronic fiscalisation system.

Who installs on Glatko

On 25 September 2026 Glatko had eight verified electricians, six in Podgorica and two in Budva, and five of them also work in English. None of the 25 requests the platform received between 24 April and 28 June 2026 was in the electrical-work categories. More on choosing an electrician in the capital is in our guide to electricians in Podgorica.

What we did not measure

We did not measure real consumption in flats, how much heat a room of a given size needs, or the quality of the appliances. We could not read prices at Tehnomax, because the site blocked automated access. At Okov we saw only the first 32 of 124 electric heaters. We did not check the VAT rate on electricity or the low-tariff hours at source.
