Using A Wall Heater Safely

Not all of your house uses heat in the same way. Perhaps the back rooms get chilly when the wind whips up. Maybe the basement needs more heat when there’s a cold rain. It doesn’t make sense to turn up the thermostat just to make a room or two more comfortable. Not when heating costs are rising. The answer may be a wall heater for those cold rooms.

Many Choices

These days, space heaters come in all shapes and sizes. Assess your heating needs before you make your choice. You can find portable heaters that can be moved from room to room as needed and even warm up and area on the deck or in the back yard. You can find heaters for almost every kind of fuel: electric, gas, propane and solar. If your heating needs are fairly permanent and you have safety concerns with the portable units, you might want to consider a professionally-installed wall heater.

Once installed, you won’t have to worry about the heater being tipped over or a child or pet becoming dangerously curious. Although today’s space heaters have many safety features, it is always better to provide your own additional features by planning for the best installation for your needs. Have the wall heater installed in an area where there won’t be objects that will block the air circulation around it or where flammable things may be kept. Think about how you use the room, especially at the colder times of the year. If that is the room where you set up the Christmas tree, make sure the wall heater is in the part of the room away from decorations.

A wall heater with an ignition is safer than one that needs to be lit with a match. A thermostat will prevent overheating and over drying the contents of your room. A ventless wall heater should have an oxygen-depletion-sensing shutoff feature. The ventless heater takes the air from the room to heat it. With an automatic shutoff, it will stop heating if there is not enough fresh air in the room. Of course, the heating element should be shielded. Many heaters are safe even around blowing curtains.

Once the wall heater is installed, make sure that you understand the maintenance directions in the manual. A wall heater needs to be cleaned once or twice a year to remove debris that has been taken in with the air. You can enjoy warmth in every room of your home all year round and save money, too, with a good wall heater.

Portable Heater – Boon Or Curse?

Imagine planning out a wonderful vacation out in the mountains and finding out that the water is ice cold while wanting to take bath. The whole day you would be miserable afterwards. Then, imagine the availability of a portable water heater. Ah! All your problems solved with one phrase.

There Are More Portable Heaters Than This

Portable water heaters are not the only ones that can be carried along for providing home-like comfort in camps in the mountains. You will also need a plain portable heater if you are sleeping somewhere in the wilderness. This is for two reasons – animals are attracted to the smell of man, and will come and investigate whenever they get it. However, they are averse to any type of fire, and fire-related things. A portable heater would he of great help to send off wild animals of nothing else.

We have reports though that sometimes the animals have been attracted because people were carrying portable heaters and these provided them with some warmth when they were feeling cold. Hence, utmost precaution should be taken when going to mountain camps, particularly when the climate is not very conducive.

Some other types of portable heaters are patio heaters which are built with open spaces in mind, and gas portable water heaters. In both the cases the heaters are tested and put through a number of rigorous hand-on use. After one month of rough usage, if the heater is still working fine, then it will be promoted in the market.

However, even then there are instances when among all these tested ones, one un-checked slipped; and as luck would have it, that particular one will be the one that would go to the most spirited customer who would fight anyone to get compensation and all from the irate customer.

It takes a lot to placate an irate customer- but the best policy till date is to accept the complaints looking chastised and then proceed in charming her/his off their feet. This part will be easy because all people are ego conscious and love a little flattery. If you can manage the right balance then the day would end in good news. Otherwise, we have lost a passenger.

Hence, for this product too, there should be a better customer-placating bias. Then, please cut out into our work. The portable heater is indeed a boon to mankind, provided it works well and does not malfunction.
