An electric heater sends an electrical current through a ceramic element, which warms up and radiates warmth into the room, increasing the temperature of the room. This type of heater is effective well in rooms that are airtight and well-insulated. However the heater that makes use of an internal fan to move the air around could cause a lot of heat loss, especially in rooms that are poorly insulated. The friction between the air molecules converts some of the electrical energy into heat. However, a lot of it is wasted.

The most efficient heaters make use of the combination of convection and fan to heat the room and circulate the air, increasing efficiency by lowering electricity consumption by up to 25%. Certain models also have an auto shut-off feature which shuts off the heater after a specified time period, preventing overuse and saving energy.

Other kinds of energy-efficient electric heaters are able to store the heat produced during off-peak times, which reduces the amount of electricity consumed during peak times. These models typically cost more expensive than traditional electric heaters, but are able to pay for themselves in the form of reduced electric bills in just a few months.

To choose the best electric heater for your needs, consider the size of the room you're looking to heat and the number of times you intend to use the space.

Using less wattage than fan-style heaters, they can be utilized as a quick fix to warm up rooms or be left on throughout the night to maintain a pleasant temperature.

Some models, such as the Kelvin Infrared Heater, are a bit different in that they use infrared technology for heating objects rather than the air. This is an extremely efficient method of heating that can be quite quick, especially in rooms with a lot of draft.

A standing electric heater should not be placed in any damp or wet area, such as a sink. The vapor generated by the heating elements can be toxic, especially when inhaled. It is also crucial to inspect the heaters regularly for signs of wear and tear that could lead to damage. This is especially crucial in facilities that have children as a damaged heater could be a significant risk to their safety.

Examining the electrical connections of the electric heater is crucial. If they are damaged or loose, they need to be replaced as soon as possible. It is recommended that a certified electrician perform this task to ensure the safety of the installation and to ensure that it is done correctly.
