Frequently Asked Questions
How to choose the right indoor space heater?
When choosing an indoor space heater, there are four types of heaters to choose from. The choices include: 1) Ceramic heaters – they work by emitting heat from an electrically charged ceramic plate; 2) Oil-immersed heaters – electric heaters, permanently sealed oil emitting heat, and thermostatically controlled; 3) Infrared heaters – they use an electrically charged metal spiral or quartz element to heat the indoor space, and a reflector to heat the indoor space; 4) Vortex heaters – they use the same principle as a fan to heat the space, generating heat by blowing hot air, and are mainly used to heat the entire living space.
Some will oscillate (turn left and right), while others will not. In addition, for indoor heating, you can choose to install a baseboard heater, but this requires mounting the heater to the wall of the house. If you want a heater that can be used to heat most rooms in the house, you may want to consider a wall-mounted heater, which usually comes with wheels and many come with a remote control.
Ultimately, the choice depends on the size of the indoor space to be heated, and then the style and type of heater you prefer. No matter what type of indoor heater you are looking for, you can find the heater you need on our website. If you have any questions about any specific heater, please feel free to give us a call and we will be happy to help you.
Are space heaters more energy efficient than central heating systems?
Yes. For example, if you only want to heat one room, or need to supplement insufficient central heating in one or more rooms, a small space heater can be cheaper and more energy efficient. These heaters can also raise the temperature in rooms used by people who are sensitive to cold (especially the elderly) without overheating the entire house. We specialize in space heaters, which is why if you browse our selection of the most popular and reliable heaters, you’ll see that they are all very energy efficient. If you have any questions or need help purchasing, don’t hesitate to give us a call.
What is the difference between a radiant heater and a convection heater?
When heat is radiated directly onto you, this is called “radiant heat.” When you are heated by the heat around you, this is called “convection heat.” Our heater guide has a good comparison of the difference between radiant and convection heaters using the example of the sun’s rays. Convection heaters are often chosen when you want to heat a larger area occupied by multiple people. Radiant heaters heat individuals directly when heating an entire room is not necessary.
