Let's start with electric heaters:
Ideally suited for single rooms you only need to heat occasionally. Electric heaters are a good option to replace LPG heaters or open fires and can be installed virtually anywhere in the room. These are safe options without fuel or toxic byproducts. With virtually no moving parts electric heating is extremely reliable.
Panel Heaters
Panel heaters are convection heaters and provide warmth based on the principle of hot air attracting cool air over a large panel surface. Air is drawn over the element and rises up through the unit and out the top through vents.
Great for
• Lounges, hallways, & bedrooms
• Heat pump complementary heating
• Quiet operation
• Simple manual operation
Oil Column Heaters
Oil column heaters warm the air via metal fins that have hot oil circulating through them. The large surface area of the fins allows more heat to be transferred to the surrounding air. Oil column heaters are ideal for heating any kind of room.
Great for
• Small to large rooms
• Quiet operation
• Portability around the home
Radiant Heaters
Radiant heaters use tubes that generate heat much like that produced by the sun. The heat is absorbed by you and objects but the surrounding air is not heated. Radiant heaters provide instant heat and are ideal for personal heating.
Great for
• Personal warmth
• Ambience (warm glow)
• Draughty environments
Ceramic Heaters
Ceramic heaters are the most efficient form of fan based portable heating. The key feature of a ceramic heater is that it has no glowing parts and is therefore safer. Most units feature a thermostat, timer and oscillating function.
Great for
• Small rooms
• Quick heating
• Personal warmth
Keep cosy with an electric blanket or heated throw:
Before you go to bed, electric blankets preheat it for warmth and comfort. This warmth is conducted through the electric blanket’s fabric and into your bed. A control unit regulates the amount of power passing into the electric blanket, and therefore the level of warmth. Most electric blankets come with 3 or more heat settings.
A lot of us have had electric blankets before, but did you know there are different types of electric blankets?
