With predictions of a colder than average winter already being made, it’s time to start thinking of ways to beat the chill over the next few months. To help choose an additional source of heating for your home, Calor, the experts in heating in the home, has put together some advice on its different types of portable heaters available and what type of portable heater is the best to suit your needs.
A gas portable heater can heat up any room in just minutes and is an extremely versatile way to keep the cold out. Energy efficient, cost effective and practical, they are the perfect way to provide your home with all the warmth and comfort you’ll need this winter.
Portable Gas Heater vs Electric Heater
Portable heaters operate on a butane gas cylinder, which is neatly concealed in the body of the heater. They can heat up a room almost immediately – and the fact that they are portable means that they can be moved around to heat any part of a room in your home. Best of all, it means no hunting around for a socket or enduring unsightly cables lying across your room which can be a real danger.
Don’t forget the following important safety information when setting up your new portable heater:
• For safety reasons portable heaters must not be used in the bathroom, bedroom or garage where petrol vapour is present
• Heaters must be used in a well ventilated room and positioned at least one metre from flammable materials
• A portable heater with a maximum heat input of 4.2kW should only be used in a room lager than 35.78m² (based on a ceiling height of 2.4m).
• A portable heater with a maximum heat input of 2.4kW should only be used in a room larger than 20.44m² (based on a ceiling height of 2.4m).
