What are the different types of heating?
Panel heaters
Panel heaters are a cost-effective option for heating small to medium-sized rooms such as bedrooms and living rooms. Panel heaters have a streamlined design, these electric heaters occupy minimal space. They can be wall-mounted, making them ideal for living rooms with limited floor space. Additionally, their portability allows you to easily move these portable heaters to another room as needed. Explore our comprehensive Panel Heaters Buying Guide or our curated list of the Top 10 Panel Heaters.
Fan heaters
For quick and efficient electric heating, fan heaters are a popular choice. They use an electric coil or ceramic element to heat the air, which is then blown out by a fan. This allows for rapid heating of a room, making them ideal for use in spaces that need to be heated quickly, such as bathrooms or home offices. If your central heating fails, fan heaters are perfect for delivering immediate warmth just when you need it.
Patio heaters
Perfect for keeping you and your guests warm and comfortable during chilly evenings, patio heaters come in a variety of styles and sizes to fit any space. Patio heaters are wall-mounted or free standing which allows you to move them wherever warmth is needed. Patio heaters also offer a fantastic advantage with their efficiency. Say goodbye to wasted energy - these heaters convert electricity solely into radiant heat, no by-products like gas heaters. They also start working instantly, no waiting to warm up the space.
