Choose a Heater by Area

Not sure what type of space heater to choose?  Simply choose the area you wish to heat from one of the choices below:

For Bedrooms

Electricity is a great way to heat bedrooms and smaller areas because these areas require less heat than living areas. 

Portable Space Heaters are typically used when the main heating system is inadequate or when central heating is too costly to install operate.  These are often affordable, portable, and safe to use.   

Infrared Heaters radiate heat to objects near it, and this makes them ideal for nighttime application because there's little movement and no drafts from moving air. 

Radiator Electric Heaters are an obvious choice for bedrooms and small areas such as cubicles because they're both silent and extremely safe.  These types of heaters warm a special type of heat conserving oil inside the heater and radiate this heat into the room.  This oil is only heated, never warmed, and never needs to be replaced, making these types of heaters safe, efficient, and easy to maintain. 

Electric Wall Heaters are great for bedrooms because they can be recessed into the wall and offer space saving heat.  Electric wall heaters are also very safe and less expensive than propane wall heater counterparts.

For Living Rooms/Lounge Areas

For larger rooms, lounges, and family rooms, heat pumps are the best choice for long-term use.  However, in general, these areas require additional background warmth and can need spot heating in areas by the television or by the kitchen sink.  In these instances, infrared parabolic reflective heaters or fireplace heaters work well.

Portable Electric Heaters come in a variety of styles and sizes, but they all provide heating comfort instantly. 

Parabolic Reflective Heaters such as the NewAir AH-300 provide both warm and silent comfort.  The parabolic technology focuses and directs the heat, which in turn minimizes the effect of warmth being lost in a room with a lot of airflow.  These heaters can be placed in a fixed position to concentrate the heat or they can be oscillated in order to spread heat evenly in the room or space.

Electric Fireplaces can also be a great addition to any living room or lounge.  These heaters use the same heating technology as any space heater - a fanned heating element is the heat source.  They are stylish, fully portable, are much safer than regular wood-burning fireplaces, and blend in with your existing decor. 

For Garages/Workshop Areas

When heating industrial areas, electric garage heaters and propane heaters can be options to consider, although most customers choose electric garage heaters over fueled heaters when there is less than 500 square feet of area to heat. They are usually mounted on a wall or ceiling, making them great for saving space. 

Keep in mind that garage and shop heaters can only be used in well-ventilated areas with sufficient airflow.  They are not intended for regular home use. 

Shop Heaters can heat areas up to 400 square feet, and run on 240 volts. These types of heaters are extremely safe and provide blasts of warm air onto the body.  For this reason, shop heaters are a popular choice.

Infrared Heaters make excellent choices for commercial and industrial areas because they provide instant heat to people working in the immediate area. 

Propane Heaters and Oil-Fired Heaters are sturdy, safe, and can rapidly warm up large areas.  However, they are geared towards spaces with ample ventilation such as warehouses and factories, as well as outdoor areas such as farms.

For Patios/Outdoor Areas

If you want to enjoy year-round outdoor entertaining, an outdoor patio heater is a fantastic way to keep the chill off.

For patios and other outdoor areas, Patio Heaters provide a circle of warmth and help raise outdoor temperatures 10 to 25 degrees.  Adjustable temperature settings allow for optimized control of outdoor activities such as barbeques.

These types of heaters usually run on propane and require no electricity.  They are safe, economical, easy to use, and can provide up to 40,000 Btus of heat through a stainless steel burner. 

Another great option for outdoor heating is an Outdoor Fire Pit.  These handsome heaters are let you gather around a fire all year round, making them perfect for a backyard get-together or even a marshmallow roast.  Outdoor fire pits are usually constructed of wrought iron or stainless steel and either have mesh sides and/or a mesh top for greater heat output and sufficient airflow.  Most use wood as the fuel source, but there are also a few models that run on propane or natural gas.
