Cold Weather Got You Down? Portable Heaters Can Cheer You Right Up
People who live in more northern climates consider Winter as their favorite time of year.
They love to be outside in the cold, crisp air enjoying fun activities with friends and family.
But after a while everyone needs to get warm again.
Even in areas where the temperature seldom gets below the comfort level, there is always a need for a little extra warmth.
For those times when a little more heat is needed, nothing can beat the convenience and ease of a portable gas heater or an electric ceramic heater.
They can be used indoors to heat small or large rooms quickly and efficiently.
These little powerhouses can provide radiant heat, forced air convection heat and even some models are equip with negative ion generators to help reduce respiratory problems in many people.
Outdoors on the patio or backyard portable gas heaters can bring you safe, warm conversations and dinners for parties extending your outdoor living time.
Portable gas heaters can provide heat in a range from 4,000 to 200,000 BTUs depending on make and model.
Commercial contractors often use a portable propane heater for heating shops, loading docks and warehouses.
You will see many propane heaters at tailgate parties and being used as heat sources for garages and barns during the winter months.
Radiant heaters are probably the most efficient choice when you will be using a room for just a few hours.
These portable gas heaters spend their energy, emitting infrared radiation, heating the object they are focused upon warming a person or a targeted area not the entire room or space around the heater itself.
They also cool down very quickly making them safer to the touch sooner.
Portable electric heaters, sometimes referred to as space heaters, provide convenient and effective ways of adding extra heat to chilly rooms or warming up unheated space.
Electric ceramic heaters are ideal for warming offices and for home or apartment renters who don't have thermostatic control around their desks or living quarters.
However, if you are thinking about getting portable electric heaters to warm a room on cold mornings, you should get a programmable electric heater to make your life easier.
When shopping for an outdoor portable gas heater for your patio, make sure that before you buy, you have chosen the simplest, most economical, efficient heater for your outdoor use.
These can be free standing upright models, tabletop models or under umbrella radiant heaters.
Some of the patio heaters come with remote controls to make lighting and turning them off easier than ever.
For best performance, place your outdoor patio heater close to a wall or fence or under an overhead structure.
This will help the heat concentrate to the area needing the heat.
Just do not place your heater too close to a structure that could result in a fire.
