Compact and Tower Space Heaters

When you're searching for the right on-the-go heating solution, invest in a portable space heater to make every room more comfortable. Compact models have a small foot print and are easy to move from room to room as needed. For taller, space-saving designs, tower space heaters are an excellent choice, providing steady, vertical heat distribution in compact spaces.

Electric Space Heaters

These portable heaters are usually energy efficient and may be the right choice if your goal is to heat a space for an extended period. An electric space heater is well-suited for areas where people will be within direct contact with the heater. Convection models work by warming up the air and recirculating it through the area, while radiant space heaters transfer heat to objects throughout the room. Wall heaters also typically run on electricity.

Propane Garage Heater

A propane portable heater can be used indoors or outdoors. Compared to electric models, propane space heaters may heat space faster and with lower energy costs, making them popular options for large garages. Explore propane options near you to keep your heater running smoothly.

Kerosene Heater

Compared to heating sources that use wood or coal, kerosene heaters burn more cleanly for more environmentally friendly results. Kerosene is relatively inexpensive to produce, making it a cost-effective fuel source, too.

Evenly Heated Rooms with Infrared Space Heaters

Perfect for small to medium rooms where spot heating is needed, infrared space heaters are ideal if you want a quiet, efficient way to heat up an area quickly and evenly. An infrared space heater transfers heat directly to people and objects in the room rather than warming the surrounding air.

Key Personal Space Heater Features

When choosing an indoor room heater, there are some things you should think about to pick a type that will work for your space:

• Heating capacity: Measure the size of the room to choose a space heater with an adequate heater wattage rating. Most heaters use around 10 watts of heating power to heat one square foot of space.
• Energy efficiency: Heaters with features like an energy-saving mode, programmable timers and adjustable thermostats can improve energy efficiency and lower heating costs.
• Safety features: Look for options that improve convenience and reduce the risk of fire. Models with internal switches that automatically shut off if the heater is accidentally knocked over can reduce the risk of fire.

Which Garage Heaters Work Best?

Choosing a shop heater is the same as choosing a space heater for your home. A garage heater needs to have enough heating capacity to warm your workspace and should use a power source that makes sense for your situation. The larger the garage, the higher the heating capacity you'll need.  Noise level and safety features are also just as important where you work as they are where you sleep. Look for low-noise heaters with cool-touch surfaces and overheat protection, too.
