Not everyone is lucky enough to have central heating in their homes. Those of us living remote areas may need to resort to other means to heat our homes during the winter. Besides, sometimes the costs of a central system can be too high. Space heater models, on the other hand are much more economical than central systems as they do not heat the whole house but only a specific and confined space. We have listed the three prominent space heater models below to get you starting on the process of getting this alternative means of heating for your home.
Oil filled space heaters
The space heaters are effective and can be a money saving alternative to heat your home. There are many types of space heater models. The most popular model is the one that uses oil as combustible to produce heat. This type of heater is very effective for heating spaces within rooms, halls, and small rooms. The oil filled space heaters are very quiet because they don’t use any internal fans to circulate the heated air. They are also durable and easy to use. Being so quiet, the oil filled space heaters are a good choice particularly for bedrooms or offices, where the noise should be avoided.
Ceramic space heaters
The ceramic space heaters are small and inexpensive models. They are also easy to operate. Ceramic space heaters are suitable for heating small or medium sized rooms. Choose the right model to suit the size of the room, because a ceramic heater too large for the room you wish to heat would be a waste of money and energy, while a model that is too small for the room cannot provide sufficient heat to keep it warm at the optimal temperature.
Infrared space heaters
The infrared space heaters are the most energy efficient. They work well at warming small spaces. An infrared space heater can produce heat immediately after being switched on. Same as for the oil filled models, the infrared space heaters don’t require an internal fan to spread the heat. That makes them working very quietly. The best units feature an anti-tipping guard, an automatic shutoff and other built in safety features.
