With heating fuel costs changing almost at the whims of the wind a homeowner's hope for stability might rest on "locking in" the price of oil or gas. While offers may differ, in general the option allows the homeowner to pay a set price for heating oil, as an example, for a year. But according to some sources the lock in contracts can cost 30 to 35 cents a gallon on top of what homeowners have paid over the past years. Some dealers offer a program whereby they will pass along prices lower than the cap but it is a gamble that individuals will have to decide to take. Reduce Fuel Consumption with Efficient Electric Space Heaters An option to locked-in fuel prices is taking measures to reduce fuel consumption by placing electric space heaters in rooms that are not used full time. Simply close off heating ducts or adjust radiators to a lower level. Another option is lowering the thermostat and use these heaters to augment central heating in regularly used living, dining and family rooms. In the former case portable heaters can be placed in rooms when needed; in the latter they can be turned on to make the rooms comfortable to the occupants. In both cases the central oil or gas-fired furnaces work less and consume less. Hot to Select the Right Space Heater There are facts you must have in hand before shopping for heaters. Two of the important ones are the size of the area being heated and the type of heating you desire. Then you can select from the myriad heater styles and designs that are available to ensure satisfaction from performance and aesthetic points of view. Many suppliers post heater guides on their website that help you sort through the various options, but here's a brief introduction. BTUs, or British Thermal Units are used to compare the amount of heat produced by an electric space heater and should be used in comparing the heat output of various models. Determining the number of BTUs you need is based on the area being heated, where it is located, how well your home is insulated and other factors. To help you with this you can go to one or more of the online BTU calculators. These heaters generally operate on two heating principles: radiant heat or convection heat. Simply defined radiant heaters, like the sunshine, focus heat on objects such as people sitting or standing in front of them. Many models oscillate, which allows them to provide comfort to a wider area.
Slide 2: Convection heaters warm areas rather than objects and can be likened to sitting in the shade on a warm sunny day. Many convection space heaters resemble baseboard space heaters in design for placement along walls. Both radiant and convection systems are available for portable or fixed use and feature modern thermostat controls either on-board and/or remotely activated. Portable units will automatically turn off if accidentally tipped, an important safety factor. Other Safety Notes Radiant electric heaters get hot to the touch. They are not advised for areas where children are at play and should be kept away from flammable materials. Many convection heaters, except for oil filled designs, have the heating elements behind grids, making them more suitable for playrooms and activity rooms. Adequate wiring is important, although most models require only 115 volts of power and can be plugged into standard electrical outlets. Be sure to use GFI outlets in areas where running water is present. Extension cords should not be used with electric heaters. Where to Start Looking When it's time to pick out your efficient electric space heaters you'll want to find a source with a large selection - preferably one where space heaters is their only business. I suggest you visit HeaterStoreOnline.com to get an idea of the many varieties and sizes of electric space heaters that are available.
