Portable Heaters

Used the world over, these models are ideal for providing a temporary heat source. Being portable, they can be used practically anywhere, and you’ll often find them being used in portacabins on building sites or as an extra heat source in rooms that either take a long time to warm up or those that need an extra boost of heat. Whilst they are portable, many offer wall mounting options if required.

Fan Heaters

These models have an electrical element inside that heats up and when the fan blows air past it, the air heats up. Usually quite small, these models are excellent for personal use such as on or under a desk. You’ll often find these being used in workshops, offices, garages, and anywhere else where people need to be kept warm but there is no realistic way to heat the whole area. Other types such as plinth heaters and air curtains, which are discussed below in more detail, also make use of fan technology.

Convector Heaters

Convection heaters are designed to efficiently warm up your environment by using the natural process of convection. These heaters work by warming the air around the heating element, causing the air to rise as it gets hotter. As the hot air rises, cooler air is drawn in from below, where it is heated in turn. This constant circulation of air ensures a consistent flow of warm air throughout the room, helping to quickly elevate the temperature.

One of the key advantages of convection heating is its speed. These models start working almost immediately, warming up a space rapidly and efficiently. Whether you're looking to heat up a room in your home, office, or a workshop, they can quickly bring comfort, especially in larger or drafty areas.

They are often designed as portable units, making them convenient to move from room to room. However, they can also be wall-mounted, providing a more permanent solution for areas such as garages, workshops, or rooms where mobility is less of a concern. Their sleek, space-saving design ensures that they don’t take up too much room, while still providing effective and consistent heat.

Ideal for various environments, they offer both flexibility and powerful heating when you need it most.

Frequently asked questions

When considering an electric space heater, it's essential to focus on factors like heating capacity, energy efficiency, safety features, and budget. Here are some general types of heaters to consider:

  • Fan Heaters: These are known for their versatility, often offering both heating and cooling functions. They're suitable for smaller spaces and offer quick heat distribution.
  • Ceramic Heaters: These are efficient and come in various shapes and sizes, including tower and desktop models. They provide consistent warmth and may have oscillation features for better coverage.
  • Oil-Filled Radiator Heaters: These use oil as a heat reservoir, providing steady and silent warmth. They're ideal for larger rooms and offer long-lasting heat retention even after being turned off.
  • Compact Heaters: Compact models are perfect for small spaces or targeted heating needs. They're often portable and offer customizable settings for personalised comfort.

When choosing a heater, consider the size of the room, desired features like thermostat control or remote operation, and safety features such as tip-over switches and overheat protection. Researching user reviews and comparing specifications can help you find the right heater for your specific requirements.

When it comes to energy efficiency, there are a few types of space heaters worth considering. Ceramic heaters, for example, are known for their efficiency as they can quickly heat up a room without consuming excessive energy. Another option is infrared heaters, which emit infrared radiation to warm objects and people directly, rather than heating the air, thus potentially saving energy. Additionally, oil-filled radiators can be efficient because they continue to emit heat even after being turned off, thanks to the residual heat from the oil. Ultimately, the most energy-efficient option depends on factors like room size, insulation, and personal preferences.
