Buying Guide
FAQs
What is the best type of space heater for a large room?
For larger spaces, look for a heater with higher wattage, typically 1500W, and features like wide-angle oscillation to distribute heat effectively. A model with dual motors or a larger heating element, like the Dreo Space Heater for Large Room, is designed to cover more area. Always check the manufacturer’s recommended square footage to ensure it can handle your room size.
Are smart space heaters worth the extra cost?
Smart heaters offer significant convenience, allowing you to control temperature, set schedules, and turn the unit on or off via an app or voice commands through Alexa or Google Assistant. This is ideal for pre-heating a room before you arrive home or for adjusting the heater without getting up. If you value automation and remote control, the added functionality is often worth the investment.
How important is the noise level for a space heater?
Noise level is crucial if you plan to use the heater in a bedroom or office. Heaters with brushless DC motors and aerodynamic fan designs can operate as quietly as 34dB, which is barely audible. For light sleepers or quiet work environments, choosing a model specifically marketed as ‘whisper-quiet’ is a key consideration.
What safety features should I prioritize when buying a space heater?
Essential safety features include tip-over protection, which shuts the heater off if it’s knocked over, and overheat protection to prevent fire hazards. Look for models made with V0 flame-retardant materials and certified by safety organizations like ETL. Additional features like a cool-touch exterior and a child lock provide extra peace of mind in homes with children or pets.
What’s the difference between ceramic and other types of heaters?
Ceramic heaters are popular because they use PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) elements that heat up quickly and are inherently safe, as they reduce power as they get hotter. This makes them more energy-efficient and less of a fire risk compared to some older coil-based heaters. They are excellent for rapid, personal heating in small to medium-sized rooms.
How can a space heater help me save on my energy bill?
Using a space heater for zone heating allows you to warm only the room you’re in, rather than heating your entire home with a central furnace. Models with an ECO mode are particularly effective, as they automatically adjust their power output to maintain a set temperature efficiently. This targeted approach can lead to significant savings on your overall energy costs during the winter.
Should I choose a heater with a remote control?
A remote control adds a layer of convenience, allowing you to adjust temperature, oscillation, and modes from across the room. This is especially useful for heaters placed on the floor or in hard-to-reach spots. While not essential, it enhances the user experience, particularly for those who frequently change settings or have mobility issues.
