It should be very easy to find a portable space heater to meet your needs. There are many different types, each with its own advantages. Space heaters run on either electricity or fuel, like propane or kerosene. Electric space heaters are the most popular because if you have an electric socket, you can have heat.
Some of the different types of electric space heaters are convection and radiant, both with fan and without. A convection heater is your best bet for heating an entire room. A convection heater with a fan moves the warm air up and out. A large, movable heater with a fan will easily heat up a large garage or workroom.
Radiant heaters work best in small work places. Radiant heaters are perfect for the small space under a desk at work. Radiant heaters can be an infrared heater that uses quartz tubes, ceramic heaters with ceramic cores or oil filled.
Oil filled heaters are very economical. There is a special thermal oil sealed inside the heater. It is not used up so it never needs to be replaced or refilled. The heating element heats the oil which runs through the radiator coils and heats the air. Oil filled radiators take some time to heat up a room but once the oil gets heated, the heating element can be turned off and the heater will still radiate heat for a long time.
Ceramic heaters heat a ceramic element inside. Sometimes ceramic heaters use fans to push the air out and heat the room quicker. They are lighter than most types of electric heaters, which makes them very portable.
Quartz infrared heaters are a type of radiant heater. Quartz infrared space heaters heat objects like the sun heats. Infrared rays heat up objects from the inside by penetrating the skin. The heaters do not actually heat the air but heat the objects in the path of the rays.
When you have not electricity, propane space heaters come in handy. They are mainly used outdoors, on camping trips, ice fishing and other similar activities. You usually find propane space heaters as outdoor patio heaters. You need to use propane heaters outside or in a well ventilated area because they give off carbon monoxide as they burn.
Your best space heater is the one that does the job you need. First, figure out what you need the heater to do and then you can find the one that will work the best. You can find a heater for any budget. You don't have to spend a lot of money to get a good product.
