Guidelines for portable room heaters

If you are contemplating on buying a room heater for the coming winter, you should check out portable or small space heaters. Portable or space heaters come in two types – vented and non vented or vent-free units. Vented room heaters are recommended for residential indoor heating. These systems need to be placed near the outside wall of your room to enable easy access to the flue gas vent which is usually installed in the ceiling or on the outside wall. Ensure that the space heater has sealed combustion as these types of heaters are more efficient as they do not throw out the air from inside the room outside and help in maintaining healthy indoors.

When you step out to buy a portable heating system, make sure you choose the new models as these will be embedded with the latest technology and safety features. The UL label or the Underwriter’s Laboratory label is a must. Decide on a heater that has a thermostat, as this will prevent energy wastage. Make sure you select the right size according to the area you need to heat.
