Dr. Heater Space Heater

Space heaters focus heat into a single zone, such as a small room. These portable devices often supplement central heating. They also work well when a central heating system remains unavailable, inadequate, or too costly. You can find space heaters that use a variety of fuel types, such as electricity, oil, or gas.

Space heaters often use convection or radiant heat. Convection heaters take in the cool air surrounding the heater, warm it, and then circulate that warm air back into the room. As the warm air rises, the cool air drops, and the cycle continues. Radiant, or infrared radiant, heat warms the people and objects in the line of sight of the heater instead of the air itself.

Theoretically, you can leave a space heater running for quite awhile as long as you remain in the room. However, they typically work best, and most safely, when used in shorter increments of time. You should not leave them running all night. Though space heaters continue to improve in safety by adding timers, shut-off protection, and tip-over protection, keep them on for only a few hours at a time to avoid a safety hazard or fire risk.

Additionally, never leave the space heater unattended and keep it a safe 3-foot distance from any flammable materials such as drapes or curtains. For more portable space heater safety tips, check out our blog Stay Warm and Safe: Portable Space Heater Safety!
