Types of Electric Space Heaters
Space heaters are also used for homes, garages, buildings, patios, convention centers and anywhere you need to add extra warmth. The two types listed below are mainly used for homes.
Convective heaters normally use a built in fan to move and warm up the air in a room. They are best for large areas and they are either liquid filled or have electric or ceramic elements. Radiant heaters are best used in small areas and they warm the person or items near them instead of the air in the room.
Units that are used to warm places like buildings and garages are built larger and have stronger fans to push the warm air around more easily. Theses larger units can also be used for show rooms, sheds, convention centers and hangars. Many are equipped with wheels and designed with steering mechanism to make moving the unit around a breeze.
