Overview of electric heaters for home

operating principle is quite simple electric heater.When the fan blades produce air flow that passes through the heating element comes on the back side and is distributed in the exposed area.

In the picture you can clearly see this process:

main classification

Variety of small household electrical heaters.Basically, the difference may be in power, design features, the type of heating element and functionality.Let us consider all the existing differences.

On power

Any group of electrical appliances necessarily have differences in power parameters, whether it be household appliances, power tools or even a heater.In this case, the product may have a capacity from 0.4 kW to 5 kW.The maximum response is conditional, becausethere is no clear distinction between the fans and heat guns.Still, 5 kW is already considered a gun.Home decided to use the power units up to 2.5 kW, which is enough room for the local heating.

By type of heating element

There are household electric heaters spiral, Tan and ceramic heating element.The first option is cheaper, and therefore less reliable.Heating was effected by air flow through a heated to several hundred degrees spiral.As a result, combustion occurs, not only the fine dust but also the oxygen.The result - the likelihood of headaches and an unpleasant smell in the room.Another important drawback - the fire risk devices.If the housing accidentally capsize, may overheat ignition coils and further objects in the vicinity.

The second option is to upgrade a small heater with spiral.The advantage of the structure of PETN is long life and high fire.

third option has many advantages, and, respectively, and higher cost.In this case, heating is carried out by means of ceramic plates, which is much lower temperature.As a result, no air or dust does not burn, that makes a stay in a comfortable room.It should also be noted that the ceramic heaters are virtually noiseless, have a long service life and also will not cause a fire.

By way of fixing

Today emit wall, floor and table (also called portable) device.

Wall household heaters running on the network are similar to air conditioning, becausetheir form is the same horizontal.The main advantage that the heater does not get underfoot and at the same time can complement the interior rooms.Fixing is carried out on the brackets, reaching complete.
Outdoor household heater has a higher power, but takes up space, which is a disadvantage in a small room.Most often, the heater is mounted on swivel base (as pictured below), legs or wheels.The latter method is more convenient to move around the room.

Desktop heaters have proven themselves as a convenient, cheap and very mobile products.Have they, of course, less power, but at the same time compact dimensions allow them to be transported or stored on a shelf.The most popular model desktop domestic heater is Breeze, which is provided in the image below.

As additional features

Among auxiliary functions, which may differ household electrical heaters, highlight:

• presence of the auto-power-rollover or overheat sensor (responsible for fire protection products);
• availability timer on / off (a very handy function that allows you to reduce power consumption);
• ability to control by remote control (important for wall and floor units);
• presence of the LCD on the body (usually it is present in the current models, which have electronic type thermostat);
• household electric heater with thermostat (this unit allows you to set the optimum temperature in the room that affects both comfort and energy savings);
• ability to set the operation mode.There should be little to explain, becausein some models, only the warm air fan can inject (via the heating element), and maybe a cold (when the heater is turned off).

cost

Independing on the value of all of the above characteristics of household electrical heaters can vary from 600 and up to 12000 rubles, though there are such prices as 46,000 rubles.In the latter case, it is rather a heat gun 30 kW, from a reputable manufacturer Master Climate Solutions.For domestic use, we recommend to buy heaters with capacity of 2-3 kW.Their cost is usually no more than 4,000 rubles.
