Using an Electric Space Heater

Using an electric space heater can be one of the most expensive ways of heating one’s home. With today’s prices, electric consumption is twice higher per BTU compared to that of natural gas. You will not be able to save money with an electric space heater unless you decide to turn down your central heating system by several degrees or use it to warm a small area. Nevertheless, you can take advantage of the really warm temperature it can give particularly on the types of electric space heater available. These are:

o Convection electric space heater – most electric space heaters circulate warmer air with a fan in order to heat a room
o Radiant electric space heater – some electric space heaters warm a space through infrared radiation.
