Winter can be very harsh, especially in northern parts of India. Sometimes the temperature falls below 10 or 5 degrees.
As, Winter is already here you may feel the need for heaters around the house.
Depending on the size of the room and your budget, there are a large number of room heaters available in the market.
Before we just to the list let us know a little bit more about heaters.
Before buy a room heater make sure which type are you buying or you should know about room heater types and advantages.
Heaters are of 3 TYPES
Convection Heaters:
The fan-based heater in which the fan blows the air which passes through the heating elements and warms up the room.
Conduction Heaters:
These are basically coil based heaters, in which the heating coils lighten up when heaters are switched on and the area nearby the heater get warm.
Radiant Heaters:
These heaters use direct infrared rays of heat that produce heat and provide a warm effect to the surroundings.
Room Heater Size and Coverage
This is considered to be one of the most important factors because – if you buy the wrong size, you will end up with a hot or less hot spot.
Just on the contrary, if you buy a small room heater for large rooms, not enough heat will be produced to heat the room.
Suitable room heater capacity can be measured with wattage output.
As thumb rule, the room heater that consumes 10 Watts power will warm area of 1 square foot completely.
Therefore, if the room heater consumes 1500watts, you can heat 150sqft.
So, if you want to custom calculate for your area, follow the below formula.
General Rule for Calculating Wattage and Heating Capacity in Sq. ft
As already mentioned, 10 watts of power lets to heat up 1 sq. ft.
So, total wattage equal to total sq. ft multiplied by 10.
