Space Heater Buyer’s Guide: Tips for Choosing the Right Model
Looking for a space heater but feeling overwhelmed by all the options? As your friendly neighborhood heating experts, we’re here to help you find the perfect match for your home—so you can stay warm and cozy all season long.
Types of Space Heaters: Choose the Perfect Match for Maximum Comfort.
Radiant Heaters – Great for quick, targeted warmth!
- Best for heating room additions, workshops, enclosed porches, cabins, rec rooms, hoop-style greenhouses and more
- More energy-efficient for short-term use
- Usually quieter than fan-based models
- Perfect backup heat source during power outages
- Work in non-insulated and insulated locations
Fan-Forced Heaters – Ideal for heating an entire room evenly.
- Works well in bedrooms and living areas
- Typically more affordable
- Provide white noise (which some people love!)
Infrared Heaters – Efficient and great for poorly insulated spaces.
- Heats objects and people rather than just the air
- Good for large spaces
- Helps maintain the natural humidity
- Higher upfront costs but lower operating costs
Safety First: Must-Have Features to Protect Your Family.
No matter which heater you choose, safety is non-negotiable. Look for:
- Tip-over protection that automatically shuts off the unit if it falls
- Overheat protection
- UL certification (tested and deemed to be safe to meet specific safety standards)
- Cool-touch exterior
- Sturdy base to prevent tipping
Size Matters: Get the Right Power for Efficient, Cost-Effective Heating.
Here’s a quick rule of thumb: you need about 10 watts of power per square foot:
Small room (150 sq. ft.) = Look for a 1,500-watt heater
Larger spaces may need multiple units or a more powerful model
Remember, bigger isn’t always better! The right size ensures efficiency without overheating your space.
