Shop for Electric Heaters - Safe, Efficient, Convenient

Portable Electric Heaters

Electric heaters remain the most popular space heaters on the market because they are inexpensive to purchase and easy to maintain. Electric heaters are safe, efficient and convenient. An electric heater works by using an electric resistor to convert electric energy into heat energy. This heat is then distrusted throughout the room by a fan, natural convection or electromagnetic waves.

Safe Electric Heaters

If you are looking for a safe portable heater, then your first choice should be an electric heater. Unlike propane or kerosene heaters, which expel pollutants like carbon monoxide into the air, electric heaters operate cleanly, without toxic fumes. Electric heaters also have a reduced risk of fire because there is no open flame powering the heater.

Electric heaters are required to pass rigid safety tests in order to ensure safe operation. Wire grills, tilt switches, automatic shutoff controls, and thermostat controls are all safety features to look for when purchasing an electric heater.

Convenient Portable Electric Heating

90% of the heaters we carry are powered by electricity. Electric heaters are easy to operate - just plug them in and start getting heat immediately. There's no need to purchase and store dangerous fuels, and no need to worry about connecting a gas tank correctly. Wherever you have a steady electric supply, you're ready for extra heat from an electric heater.

Types of Electric Heater

There are many different types of electric heaters, and they come in varying sizes depending the size of the room you need to heat.

• Oil-Filled Electric Heaters - Coiled like an old-fashioned radiator, these electric heaters are filled with a heat-conserving liquid that radiates heat through the room via natural convection. The larger the surface area of the heater, the faster the room will heat. These safe electric heaters protect against burns and fires because there is no exposed heating element.
• Ceramic Electric Heaters - With an electric heating element embedded in a ceramic plate, these are considered the most efficient electric heaters because the ceramic plates continue to radiate heat even after you've disconnected the electricity. They are also safe to operate, because there is no exposed heating element.
• Electric Garage Heaters - These powerful heaters are designed to warm garages, workshops, and other locations that typically have poor insulation. Many electric shop heaters designed to operate on a higher voltage than standard household current, and can be wired directly into the electric system.
• Infrared Heaters - These electric heaters warm objects in a room with electromagnetic waves, like rays of the sun warming the ground. Because they warm people and objects directly, instead of warming the air, they are popular for outdoor and patio heating.
• Electric Fireplace Heaters - With cement logs and LED light displays, these electric heaters mimic the appearance of a real fire but without the mess and trouble. If you live in a small home or apartment without a built-in fireplace, an electric fireplace heater will provide extra heat and a comfortable, romantic ambiance.
