How to Find the Best Portable Heater ? An Easy Way to Make Your Choice

Posted by Samstores on February 14th, 2017

Space heaters are practical heating solutions that are compact and portable. They help you save space and the high-quality ones can heat your room effectively and quickly. A portable heater makes sense if you want a supplemental heating source for your room or an area in the house that is extra chilly. This guide should help you find the best portable heater:

•    Radiant and convection heaters – Portable heaters can conduct heat either by radiation or convection. Radiant heaters are very common and they can effectively and safely heat your room using a reflector and metal element or quartz to generate the warmth. Modern units come with automatic shut-off and temperature control. Convection space heaters warm the room by pulling in room temperature air to warm it before blowing it off evenly throughout the room. Hence, they can be more effective in heating an entire room. Some convection heaters have fans, so they can be used as an electric fan in the warm months.

•    Determine the wattage – The watts being produced by the portable heater will determine the coverage area of the heat it can produce. For instance, a 1500-watt heater should be able to efficiently warm a 150-square foot room. Keep in mind that this may vary by manufacturer, but you can generally measure watts to square feet to find out if the heater is big and efficient enough for your room. Hence, be sure to measure your room’s coverage area first.

•    The design – Portable heaters come in basic designs. Freestanding heaters are oil-filled ceramic and radiator heaters that provide heat via convection. Oil-filled variants are not assisted by a fan, so they take time to warm the room. However, once they are warm, they are able to maintain the room temperature, even when you turn them off. Ceramic heaters are fan-assisted, which means a blower fan spreads their heat. They work by pulling cold air in from the room and warms it over the ceramic plates before releasing it back into the room. Baseboard heaters are low-profile and can be set up in one corner of your room away from furniture.

•    Explore the selection of portable heaters online – Find an established and trustworthy appliance store to explore the range of portable heaters by well-known brands like Honeywell, Delonghi, Soleus, and Black & Decker.
