What is a Space Heater?
A space heater, also known as a portable heater, is a compact and self-contained appliance designed to generate heat for localized spaces. These devices are exceptionally versatile, capable of quickly raising the temperature in a specific area, thus reducing the need to heat an entire room, which can save you both energy and money.
Types of Space Heaters
There are several types of space heaters available on the market, each offering unique features and advantages to suit various needs and preferences:
- Convection Heaters:
These heaters warm the air in a room by passing it over a heating element and then circulating it back into the room. They provide even, gentle heat and are suitable for larger spaces. - Radiant Heaters:
Radiant heaters emit infrared radiation, warming objects and people in their path directly. They are perfect for spot heating and are often used for personal comfort in smaller areas. - Ceramic Heaters:
Ceramic heaters use ceramic heating elements to distribute heat quickly and efficiently. They are known for their safety features and their ability to maintain a constant temperature. - Oil-Filled Radiators:
These heaters use oil as a heat reservoir, providing a consistent, gentle warmth. They are ideal for heating larger rooms and are known for their silent operation. - Fan-forced Heaters:
Fan-forced heaters blow air over a heating element, rapidly spreading warmth across a room. They are effective for quick heating and maintaining temperature. - Wall-Mounted Heaters:
These space heaters are mounted on walls, saving floor space. They are an excellent choice for supplemental heating in bedrooms, living rooms, and offices.
