Basement Heaters

Basement heaters are a cost effective way of adding heat to the basement area and are quite common in intensely cold climates. Basement heaters are available in various types and models. Propane space heaters, baseboard heaters, ceramic heaters, fan heaters and heavy duty electric heaters are a few types worth mentioning.

Propane space heaters, ideal for a 300 square foot basement area, radiate heat using propane gas as fuel. This kind of heater is vent-free and requires no electricity. The advantage of a propane space heater is that it warms people and objects before heating air. Natural gas heaters with specially designed double-wall vents help to take in outside air for heating and directly exhaust all the byproducts of combustion.

The heating element in a baseboard heater warms the air passing through it. As the warm air rises up the heater, colder air is pulled down. This process is continued until the air in the basement reaches a specified temperature. Ceramic heaters are also used as basement heaters. Air is pushed over the hot ceramic heating element with the help of a fan. The advantage of a ceramic heater lies in its ability to warm up a larger area using a huge grill that oscillates the twin heating elements. A built-in air filter, overheat sensor, foot switch, anti-freeze setting and tip-over switch are special features. In fan heaters, as the name implies, a fan is used to push the air over the hot heating element. All these basement heaters consume electricity.

A heavy duty electric heater is used to heat a larger area. It is capable of heating a room to over 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Oil-filled radiators powered by electricity use special thermal oil sealed in the heater. The heating element heats the oil, which in turn heats the air surrounding it. The heater is safe to touch, as there are no exposed elements. It is also easy to handle and economical.

As technology advances, the facilities added to basement heaters also increase. Basement heaters are efficient, secure and easy to use. Installation can be done with the help of user manuals, though a skilled professional is recommended for maintenance.

Oil Filled Radiator Heaters - How They Work, And Uses

Oil Filled Radiator Heaters - How They Work, And Uses

The
most obvious reason to purchase a oil filled radiator heater is for safety and a
silent operation. These heaters operate by warming up a special heat-conserving
oil inside the heater. Then it circulates the oil throughout the coils and fins
of the radiator to heat them. Those coils and fins radiate the heat into the
rest of the room through convection. Cold air is warmed by the heat radiating
from the fins of the heater and the warmed air rises drawing in the air below it
which is usually colder than the air above and the process repeats. Since it
does not have fans to move the air around the radiator is silent.

How are Oil Filled Radiator Heaters different from other heaters?

The
heat conserving oil is sealed inside the coils of the radiator. Since the oil is
only warmed, is never burned, and never needs to be replaced or refilled it
makes oil filled radiator heaters very efficient to operate. In addition, some
heaters have safety covers that prevent children and pets from touching the
heating elements that radiate the warmth. Generally they have a lower surface
temperature than other heaters, and because of the large surface area of the
heater they heat the room just as fast.

How do most people use Oil Filled Heaters?

These radiators are perfect
for chilly bedrooms and offices. They spot heat anywhere, and can be very
compact. Some are light in weight, letting you place them anywhere where you
need a little bit more heat. Several are made to fit into the area beneath a
desk so they can be unobtrusive and since they are quiet nobody would notice
their presence. Another important thing about the under desk radiators is that
they only take 40 watts of power to run so you could plug them into the same
circuit as your computer. The area of heat our radiator heaters can warm range
from 150 square feet to an area as small as 40 square feet for an under desk style unit.
An added benefit of the small desk-type units is that they are extremely
efficient.

Buy a SAFE Oil Filled Radiator Heater for personal comfort.

These heaters are ideal if you
just need that extra bit of warmth or your co workers prefer it colder than you
like, or when you would
like to save money by not heating the whole building and only your little corner
of the house. Not only are they safer
than other heaters with tip over safety switches and overheat auto shutoff
switched, they require almost no maintenance, and are quite easy to
move.

Micathermic Flat Panel Heaters - The Next Generation Space Heater

Micathermic flat panel heaters are a lighter and faster heating alternative to traditional oil column heaters.
Utilizing the principal of convection heating, where warm air attracts cool air, a micathermic heater quickly heats the average sized room. The faster a heater can bring a room up to temperature, the less power it uses.

Micathermic heating combines technology from both convection and reflective heating to efficiently heat air and surfaces. This mix of heating methods distributes warm air throughout the room more evenly than conventional heaters.

Some flat panel heaters can be used with a stand as a floor heater, or detached from the stand and hung on the wall just like a picture. When set on the floor, wheels allow it to be easily moved from room to room; when mounted on the wall, it's out of your toddler's reach.

Micathermic heaters weigh 50% less than traditional oil column heaters while heating up twice as fast without the use of fans. Operating without the use of fans also ensures moisture levels of the room are maintained, eliminating the problems of dehydrated skin often associated with fan assisted heating.

As the heaters do not re-circulate dust or other allergens, micathermic heaters are suitable for asthmatics and those with respiratory problems.

Most flat panel heaters are equipped with an adjustable thermostat and an anti-freeze feature. The anti-freeze feature will automatically turn the heater on when the room temperature gets below 41 degrees Fahrenheit.

Micathermic flat panel heaters also include overheat protection and are completely waterproof for added safety. The waterproof construction and space saving wall mounted design make this heater a natural for quickly warming chilly bathrooms.

The first time you use this type of heater, a slight odor from factory residue will be noticeable. I would suggest running it on high in the garage or some other unused space for a few hours until the odor dissipates.

If you're looking for an inexpensive, safe method to supplement your central heating system or add warmth to a cold apartment, the micathermic heater should be on your short list of small space heaters.

Works just like the description says it does. It is a good safe heater, intake on the bottom heat blows out of the top. Safe when the pets walk by or lay down in front it it. Thermostat is calibrated correctly and turns it self on and off when needed. Takes up a little wall space and is slim in design, will fit just about anywhere. But did find the upgraded model at Sam'club $20.00 cheaper.
