How to choose a heater for your home?
Heating appliances operate on electricity, liquid fuel or natural gas. So which heater is best for your home? Most often household appliances are powered by electricity. They are divided into the following types: fan heaters, oil radiators, convectors and infrared quartz radiators.
How to choose an electric heater?
Oil heater is the most common in everyday life. A different number of sections of the radiator is filled with oil, which heats up and gives heat to the metal, and he distributes it in all directions.
The convector heats the room thanks to the passage of air through the heating elements. It is best to use a convector in a room with a low ceiling, since the air heating temperature is not high. Compared to the oil cooler, the convector is more compact and consumes less power. Its housing does not heat up to the temperature of the oil cooler, so if there is a child in the house, it is better to choose a convector rather than an oil heater.
Fan heaters provide the highest speed of space heating, however at high speeds they create increased noise. Models with an open spiral have another drawback - burning oxygen, they pollute the air with combustion products. In addition, the heater-fan heater dries very much air. The fan heater is the cheapest in the line of heating devices. It should be noted that it is intended for warming up air only in small rooms. Most models of fan heaters are equipped with automatic shutdown in case of overheating or falling.
The infrared heater heats the surrounding objects, and not the air in the room, so it is most suitable for heating a certain place. It is believed that the infrared heater best distributes useful heat. It heats the floor, furniture and other furnishings. The radiation spectrum of an infrared heater is similar to that of a solar heater, because of which the heat from such a heater is perceived by the person positively at a subconscious level. At the same time, it is absolutely safe. The advantage of the infrared heater is also in the absence of air flow, it does not burn oxygen and works absolutely noiselessly.
How to choose a gas heater?
Here it is worth noting that there are gas fan heaters and gas convectors that need to be connected as part of the heating. Therefore, people often look for an alternative. On the market you can find a gas heater, working on the principle of a fan heater. It is intended not for the home, but only for heating in nature. In a hike or fishing the gas fan heater will be very handy. It takes up little space, but it warms on a cold night.
