Electric heaters where gas heater is not available
When you think about warming your house in cold weather, the first
thing that comes to mind is central heating. But what about electrical
heaters? Are they as effective and energy efficient?
Using electric energy for structure-heating purposes is commonplace
both in residences and in public buildings. However, heaters of
this sort are more expensive than an energy source consisting of
the combustion of sort of fuel like natural gas. But for most consumers
– business or household- electric heaters make up for their
higher price tag by providing convenience, cleanliness and reduced
space needs as compared to fuel-burning heat sources.
Efficiency
of electrical heaters
The warmth from an electric heater comes from electric coils or
strips configured in diverse patterns. For example, heat conductors
(vents) can be placed in or on walls, under windows, or as baseboard
radiation in all or only part of a room. Heating elements can even
be contained in ceilings or floors to radiate low-temperature heat
into a specific space. In fact, many homes built after 2000 contain
innovative floor heating, especially in homes located in colder
climates. The heating elements are built under the flooring.

Portable electric heater
Homes that lack central heating systems may be equipped with portable
electric heaters. Commonly called “space heaters,” these
devices can be both blessings and curses, depending upon the degree
of your care in using them. The advantage of portable electric heaters
is that they can be moved from room to room, and heat only the area
that you’re in at the time. These devices range in power from
“high heat” created by more numerous power coils, and
“low heat” derived from fewer, less potent coils.
There are many brands of heaters to choose from. Most efficient
heaters are Honeywell, DeLonghi, Holmes Products,
Mr. Heater, Soleus, Broan-NuTone, Lakewood and Empire.
