What should you look for when buying a ceramic heater
Before buying an appliance, it is essential to spend some time understanding the features and deciding on the ones you must opt for. Here is a list to help you choose:
-
Check the type of ceramic heater: Consider what type of ceramic heater is best suited for your needs. Primarily, there are three basic types, based on different heating technologies: convective, radiant and mica-thermic.
-
Check the heating capacity: Choose the heater according to the preferred heating technology, indoor environment, and the expected usage of the heater. The heating capacity of the ceramic heater is determined by the wattage rating-- a 1500-watt heater is enough for a small room.
-
Select an energy-efficient heater: Opt for an energy- efficient heater—you don't want your electric bills during the winter months to go through the roof. Hence, it is important to choose the right ceramic heater taking into account the available space and surrounding environment.
-
Check air quality features: Buy a heater that has a fresh air ionizer feature. This improves the air quality while the heater is in use.
-
Go for a dust filter: If you are a person who appreciates a ceramic heater which requires minimum maintenance, look for a heater with a dust filter. An integrated dust filter is a great add-on for effective maintenance of the appliance.
-
Ensure adequate safety features: Look for ceramic heaters that have safety features such as overheating protection, a sensor switch, and internal components that will stop the equipment from reaching an unsafe temperature.
