Heaters are an essential part of a household, especially in a cold country like the United Kingdom. They tend to be a lot cheaper than a central heating system. While buying those, people mainly consider their ability to warm air quickly. They are mainly used in homes and offices. Heaters can be classified into different types; electric heaters mainly consist of natural convection heaters, forced convection heaters and radiant heaters, while the non-electric heaters include; kerosene, natural gas and wood burning heaters.
The heaters that run on electricity are thought to be the most productive one as they can convert electricity into heat most efficiently. In addition, they have minimal health hazard, since they have little or no chances of exploding or causing a fire. Choosing a particular heater depends on the space that you want to heat, on which the capacity of the heater will depend. It is always wise to buy one that has been nationally certified by a testing laboratory.
In a home, heating devices differ significantly according to the room itself. In a room, you can use a fan heater that comes in two models; a floor standing model and a wall mounted model. A floor model takes up more space and creates a higher risk of injury from falling or tripping. In contrast, a wall mounted model takes less space as it is fixed on the wall. Some newer versions can be place underneath the skirting board, so no wall space is wasted at all.
One thing we all dread in a cold morning is, going to a cold bathroom. Luckily, besides warming the rooms a lot of heating devices are custom made for the bathroom. However, when it comes to finding a heater for your bathroom, you should be more cautious as there is a risk of the heater being exposed to water.
Radiant electric bathroom heaters are the most commonly used ones. A standard one has an overhead heater and a combination of a light and a fan. This is usually sufficient to keep your bathroom warm and cosy, however if you want to opt for a stylish and sleek option, you can choose a wall-mounted heater. The can be installed anywhere on the wall and requires minimal space. Never attempt to install them yourself, always make sure that they are installed by a professional.
Electric bathroom heaters are absolutely essential for those who fancy having a warm, toasty bathroom in a chilling weather. They are matter of personal comfort and they are highly recommended for anyone in a cold country.
