Key Features
Baseboard: These heaters should be positioned at the base of a wall, where room air is coldest. Coils within the unit heat up to radiate the warmth throughout the area. \r\n \r\n Radiators: Or oil-filled heaters are usually heavy, and may take a bit longer to fully heat up, but they are very efficient and make little to no noise at all. \r\n \r\n Patio: These kinds of units are weather proof and can sit outside and provide heat to a relatively small area. They are gas powered; so the gas cylinder will need to be changed depending on the amount of use. \r\n \r\n Utility / Portable: Some portable heaters come with blowers and/or oscillating features that allow them to project heat over a larger area quickly. Small, personal heaters are a good choice for heating specific areas quickly. All portable heaters should have safety features for preventing accidents and fires. \r\n \r\n Table: Table heaters are a designed to be safely placed on a table or raised surface. Because they tend to be quite small and safe, ceramic heaters are perfect for countertop or even under-the-desk use. \r\n \r\n Floor-Standing: For safety, floor standing heaters should have grills to protect fan blades and exposed heating elements so they don't come in direct contact with people, pets, or objects. When choosing your heater, look for an alarm or automatic shut-of feature this is essential in case a heater falls over or overheats. \r\n \r\n Wall Mounted Panel are electric heaters that are fixed to the wall and work much like a radiator; by circulating constant stream of heated air around a room.
The availability and cost of fuels and energy sources varies by location. When choosing your heater, be sure to consider both of these elements before making your selection.
Ceramic heaters are suited for smaller areas such as kitchens or bathrooms. These units use electricity to power ceramic elements to conduct heat efficiently. Coil/Ribbon heaters work by using electricity to heat up coils within the unit. These coils radiate warmth throughout the area and are often found in fan heaters. Halogen heaters are designed to emit infrared heat efficiently from halogen bulbs. This works much like the heat you get from a light bulb but only much stronger. Halogen heaters use radiant technology which warms like the sun - they heat surfaces, not the air. As surface temperatures rise above the air temperature, they in turn warm the air. Open flame heater use natural gas or kerosene as a fuel that burns with a real flame. These kinds of heaters can often have a dry air effect in enclosed, small sized rooms. Oil filled describes radiators, these heaters do not burn any fuel but use electricity to heat oil encased in a metal frame.
The number of heating levels a heater has provides greater control of the overall output of heat the device will produce.
