Lasko Space Heaters: Safe And Efficient.
When trying to stay warm in the winter efficiency can be very important. Nobody wants to pay more than necessary for their electric bill. But naturally you don’t want to be cold either; consequently you may desire to find heating methods that are efficient and affordable. One way to provide affordable, efficient heat in a small space is with the use of the ceramic space heater.
Ceramic space heaters provide efficient use of electricity and distribute heat in a manner that is more efficient and economical than a standard electrical heating system. These heaters are also more efficient and economical than oil or gas heating systems that offer room by room heat.
Lasko have several Models ranging from the remote control ceramic tower heater to the pro-ceramic utility heater with pivot power.
These little portable heaters operate on a radiant heat basis. Basically what this means is they provide an efficient way to use electricity to conduct heat. Standard heating systems use electricity, gas, or oil to heat the air in a room. A ceramic space heater heats the ceramic element and then uses a fan to emit that heat to warm the room. Since ceramic heaters are heating an object besides the air they heat the room up faster. This system also allows the room to stay warmer at lower heating settings.
The elements of the heater heat at a low temperature and operate in a safe way that requires less heat than that which is required to ignite items such as paper. This assures you a warm room while still providing you with a safe situation that does not put other items at risk of being burnt. This makes ceramic heaters safer than other types of portable heaters.
There are various different sizes of these heaters. Some ceramic space heaters use an oscillating method of heating. This means the heater moves back and forth on a base and projects the heat throughout an area. Small ceramic heaters are non-oscillating, meaning they are stationary and does not use motion to heat a space. This size of heater is best for heating smaller spaces. Because these units project the heat out at a level relatively close to the floor they are good for providing your feet and legs with heat. Natural heat rises but this size of heaters work best for bathrooms and small bedrooms.
Another type of ceramic space heater is the ceramic tower heaters. These heaters work in a similar fashion to the small floor models. They are tall narrow heaters that provide you with a wider area of heat because of their height. Pedestal heaters are basically small heaters that are on a raised platform. This allows a small area of heat that is raised above the floor.
All ceramic space heaters are designed with the same safety features regardless of their size and style. They all contain automatic shut off valves that turn the heater off if they are knocked over. They also have a thermostat that helps them determine when the space that they are being used to heat has reached the desired heat. This means that the heat of an area is controlled. Many traditional portable heaters do not have this ability and can be prone to fire hazards.
