There are several types of space heaters with each having a different advantage. From ceramic space heaters to oil-filled heaters to a heater fan, which is the best for that space in your house where you could use an extra heat boost?
Infrared space heaters make use of radiative heat to warm objects in the room, including people. Unlike many heaters that must heat the air first, an infrared space heater can often be more efficient since it doesn’t rely on heat transfer to warm you up. Use one of these heaters for a larger space.
Ceramic space heaters utilize ceramic encased heating elements to combine radiative and conductive heat to warm a space. Use a ceramic space heater for smaller spaces where you need close range warmth.
Finally, oil-filled space heaters use a safe and quiet method of heat transfer to heat air that is passed through oil-filled compartments. Although not necessarily the most efficient means of heating a room, this method has been around for a long time and has stood the test of time. Most oil-filled space heaters are easily moved from room to room but can be used to heat both large and small spaces.
