Heating Solutions For Small Spaces
Portable Heaters have been helping to heat homes, cabins, garages, patios, and construction sites for several decades. By definition, they provide a mobile mechanism in which to move a heat source from one location to another. What’s more, portable heaters are often used in spaces that don’t need to be heated all the time, often making them far more economical to operate. Whether you choose electric heaters, propane, Kerosene, or oil fired heaters, if a room or space only needs to be heated when occupied, they can be far more cost effective than installing or extending a central heating system.
How They Work
Most portable heaters operate using convection, which circulates hot and cold air. When hot air rises, cold air sinks. As heat is continually forced out of a portable space heater through a blower or fan system, it forces cold air to move and circulate, all of which equalizes the air temperature in the heater’s immediate vicinity.
Portable heaters are also manufactured using a radiant heating system. Radiant heaters produce infrared rays to warm their surroundings, again pushing cooler air away and downward. Equipsupply.com carries an extensive variety of both convection and radiant heaters. Profiled below is just a small sampling of our portable heaters that provide excellent warmth for small or open spaces, even for rooms that only need to be heated when occupied.
