Ceramic How it works: Electricity is passed through ceramic plates, this electricity then heats surrounding aluminum elements, and a fan distributes this heat into the room. Benefits: Ceramic heaters are small, powerful, and portable. Energy-efficient and safe, they also provide instant warmth. Solutions: Perfect for adding extra warmth to small offices or cooler back rooms. Can be placed on the table or floor. Fan-Forced How it works: Cool-touch plastic housing encases metal coil elements. As the coil is heated, a fan distributes warmth into the area. Benefits: Fan-forced units work well in rooms where central heating is unavailable or insufficient. Solutions: Offered in a variety of sizes and styles, fan-forced heaters quickly bring the room to a comfortable temperature. Radiant/Quartz How it works: Like the sun, a radiant/quartz heater will heat what is directly in front of it, rather than the entire room. Ribbon coils or quartz tubes work with reflective panels to project heat. Benefits: Radiant heaters are quiet, clean, and targeted, focusing heat exactly where it is needed. Solutions: Great for drafty rooms, three-season porches, or varying personal preferences of guests or family members. Micathermic/Convection/Panel How it works: A compact heating element warms the air directly in front of the unit, this air then circulates upwards into the room providing consistent warmth. Benefits: Ultra quiet, convection heaters provide steady, long-term heating solutions for larger rooms. Solutions:Ideal for large rooms and active homes. Oil-filled How it works:Heating elements heat up refined mineral oil, then disperses warmth through a convection process. Benefits: Fluid never needs to be replaced in these units, which provide steady, quiet, long-term heat. Solutions: Quiet, safe, and mobile, these low-cost heaters work well in various room sizes – from large living areas to bedrooms.
