To keep warm as the winter cold bites, you'll most probably need a home heater. There are several types of home heaters such as electric heaters and central heaters, used to provide heat in a home. Some heaters share components with the home's cooling equipment, and some systems provide both heating and cooling. The purpose of all home heaters is to tap the thermal energy from a fuel source and transfer it to living spaces to maintain a comfortable ambient. Browse through this category for various heaters available in Zambian stores. Whether you are looking for something portable and affordable or a luxurious expensive heater, you will definitely find something in this category.
Electric heaters are all considered to be 100% efficient, because they turn all the electricity they use into heat, but this does not mean they are cheap to run.
As a general rule, heating your home with a natural gas furnace is the cheapest way to keep warm through the winter months. Electricity is usually significantly more expensive than gas, so even the most efficient heaters will be a bigger drain on your pocketbook than a traditional furnace.
Infrared Heaters – the lowest wattage per heat provided makes these the cheapest to run.
Oil-filled heaters are a viable option for patients with respiratory disorders, although they're about 10 times more expensive than the most basic rod heater. Oil-filled heaters have pipes filled with oil. The air doesn't dry out because it's passing over hot liquid oil to soak up heat
Night storage heaters. The most cost-effective form of electric central heating uses night storage heaters. These heaters use electricity supplied at a cheaper 'night-time' rate to heat up special heat-retaining ceramic bricks. These bricks then heat your home around the clock using the heat stored inside them.
Ways to warm your home without using a heater.
Heat pumps—air source and geothermal heating pumps
In most cases, heat pumps are the most efficient way to heat your older home. They work by transferring heat from outside your home to the inside of your home and they also double as an air conditioning system in the warmer months—a win-win.
The heating element consumes as much electricity as that of any resistive heater when it's on, but thanks to the heat sink created by the oil, that isn't all the time. As a result, an oil heater uses less electricity in the long run than an exposed-element heater does under normal circumstances.
However, most people forget about an important thing electric heaters are actually harmful to your health. The biggest flaw of the electric heater is that it sucks up the moisture present in the air. As a result, the air turns dry which has a bad impact on your skin. It leads to the problem of dry and rough skin.
Apart from that best option is to buy oil based room heater. In Oil heaters only oil is heated and through radiance hot oil temperature is conducted in air, hence there is no burning of oxygen and humidity.
Ceramic heaters lose a good portion of their heat to convection, which heaters the air around them rather than directly heating the target. On the other hand, the energy produced by quartz heaters goes directly to the target without losses to the air. Quartz infrared heaters offer very fast heat-up and cool down times.
