With the onset of cold weather, a natural question arises - how to choose an alternative source of heat, if there is no central heating or leaves much to be desired. The most affordable and easy way is the heater, but here the main thing is not to be mistaken with the power and its capabilities to cope with the available room (this data is in the instructions). Each type of heater is good in its own way and has its advantages and disadvantages.
1
Fan heater is the cheapest device (some models are from 10 dollars). Works on the method of the hair dryer (through the heated spirals, warm air enters the room). He quickly heats the room, but at the same time the noise is not designed for a long time, and the efficiency is low (utility in comparison with electricity consumption).
2
The most popular is oil. Not so long ago, it was hit sales because of the lowest price and prevalence of models. The principle of operation - inside the ribbed metal case is mineral oil. The electric spiral inside heats the oil, and it in turn - air (a total of a room can heat less than an hour). Of the disadvantages: its efficiency is quite low, and weight and dimensions are too long. Pretty advantages:
The spiral is completely safe and it is impossible to be injured.
You can use the oil heater by day, without risk, to bring it out of order. In this case, the air indoors are not overwhelmed.
Long heating from the lack turns into dignity when the device is turned off - cools and gives it heat gradually.

Electrocamine. In Soviet times, inside there was just a glass flask with a wire, now mainly produced with a drawing of a burning fire, like a classic wood focus. The main advantage is aesthetic pleasure that you get, looking at him with a cold evening. But energy consumption and cost leave to desire the best.

Convectors - new and gaining popularity innovation in the heaters. For the price they are more expensive than oils (and this is the main minus), but advantages are much more. They work according to the following principle: inside the heating element is located, and in special holes the movement is created at the expense of different density of cold and hot air. Its effectiveness is very high (efficiency is 99%) and after 5 minutes you will notice how tangling it is warm in the room. Pros of convectors:
Small-sized, quiet and without fragile details.
Work around the clock.
The temperature of heating is not more than 60 degrees, which is safe even for young children.
5
IK-heater (infrared). Work type - a special quartz lamp highlights thermal waves, harmless to humans. They heat only surfaces in the room, not air. The main advantage of this type of heaters is the mode of saving electricity (2 times compared with oil) and an acceptable price. Even by installing it on the street (for example, in a gazebo), you will immediately feel a tangible difference, and the draft will be nipple. The disadvantages of this device are also:
Fragile quartz lamp, which is easy to smash, dropping the device.
High heating temperature (protective grille is heated to 200 degrees).
For those who night can not fall asleep without light, it should be borne in mind that it is quite bright in the dark.
6
An innovation is a carbon heater that works in the type of infrared, but with the main element in the form of carbon spirals. In terms of capacity, it is stronger than IR, but electricity it consumes less (25% more profitable infrared and 250% - oil). Like any innovation, the cost is currently higher than that of other devices.
Which heater you will not choose, the main thing is that in your house it was cozy and warm cold winter days.
