Over half of a households energy bill is being spent on heating and cooling systems; therefore, finding the right heater is extremely important in order to minimize energy costs and keep you and your family comfortable. In order to find a heater that is both affordable and efficient, when purchasing a heater, follow a few of these suggestions:

For Small Areas & Personal Spaces
Although heating your entire home with electricity may not be practical or economical, for spot heating small areas such as a small room or desk area, oil-filled radiator heaters are both safe and affordable choices. The oil within the heater never needs to be changed, making maintenance a breeze. Also, look for models with overheat protection.

For Bedrooms
A Portable Space Heater is the simple, easy, and effective solution for heating small areas such as bedrooms. Infrared Heaters can be very inexpensive to purchase and operate. Because they radiate heat to you and not the rest of the room, they can be energy efficient. Look for models with tip over safety switches and oscillators if evenly distributed warmth is desired.

For Living Rooms/Lounge Areas
Again, portable space heaters also work well for living rooms or lounge areas. When used intermittently, these provide instant comfort to larger areas. Electric fireplaces work exactly like any other electric space heater, but have the added benefit of style. When compared to actual wood-burning fireplaces, these affordable electric fireplaces are much safer to run and cost only pennies to operate. Most come with digital features, heating adjustments, and built-in thermostats, and also come at an economical price.

For Commercial/Industrial Areas
If you prefer to heat your workspace using electricity, an electric shop heater can provide adequate heat at an affordable price. These provide tremendously efficient convection heat for areas that are not insulated enough and not suitable for ambient heating.

For instant heating of large areas, tank top propane heaters are relatively inexpensive and are ideal for use in areas such as a construction sites, shop areas, and more. These are mounted onto standard 20lb or larger LPG bottles, and tip over switches and overhead shutoff valves are added safety features. These types of heaters require no electricity to heat.
