Different sizes of Electric Heaters
Small or Personal Heaters:
These heaters are for small spaces such as a single room or a small office. They are typically portable.
Medium or Space Heaters:
These heaters heat larger areas such as a whole house or an apartment. They are typically more efficient than small heaters and may have a thermostat or other temperature control features.
Large or Industrial Heaters:
These heaters heat commercial or industrial spaces, such as warehouses or factories. They are often permanently installed and can heat large areas.
Infrared heaters:
These heaters emit infrared radiation absorbed by objects and people in the room, providing heat. They come in various sizes and wattage.
Outdoor Heaters:
These heaters heat outdoor areas such as patios, decks, and other open spaces. They may be portable or permanently installed and are typically weather-resistant.
Depending on the size of the space to be heated, contacting an experienced electrician will help you determine the proper size to be installed on your residential, commercial, or industrial property.
Different types of Electric Heaters
1. Infrared/Radiant Heaters
These heaters produce infrared radiation absorbed by objects and people to heat the space. They can heat a room more quickly than convection heaters but are often more expensive. Some varieties use quartz or ceramic heating components, and they can be portable or permanently installed.
2. Ceramic Heaters
They heat the space using ceramic plates. A fan is installed to help circulate warm air around the room. Compared to other heaters, ceramic heaters weigh less and provide more efficient output.
3. Convection Heaters
This type of heater uses a metal coil for heating air. With the help of a fan, the heated air circulates throughout the room. Convection heaters are much less expensive compared to other types of heaters.
4. Oil-filled Heaters
It uses a radiator with oil to heat the surrounding air.
5. Baseboard Heaters
They are frequently used in homes with forced-air heating systems since they tend to be more energy-efficient than other types of heaters.
