heaters in Lately are found in almost every apartment or house, as they allow you to maintain a comfortable air temperature in the off-season. Economical home heaters are not suitable for constant space heating, but they turn out to be indispensable at a time when it has become quite cold outside, but the central heating has not yet been turned on. Also, these devices can serve as an additional source of heat. You can see what modern heaters look like in the photo.
Of course, most people choose economical heaters - yet they are expensive in themselves, and you don’t want to pay large sums for. Any heating device requires fuel - for example, gas, electricity.
There are the following types of heaters:
- diesel;
- gas;
- electrical;
- infrared.
Popular heaters
The most popular are electrical appliances. But he cannot provide economical heating at home - the higher the power of the device, the more electricity it consumes (read: ""). However, they are reliable and efficient, do not create noise. The most common devices are fan heaters, slightly less common are oil heaters.It is oil devices that are perfect for residential premises, as they have good heat dissipation, do not burn oxygen and are relatively safe. They are recommended to be used if there are no power outages and no power surges.
Infrared heaters are more economical and have a compact size. They come in various types (floor, wall and ceiling), and also differ in design. These devices compensate for the lack of sunlight by affecting the surrounding objects and people in exactly the same way. But they are better used as an additional source of heat.
It is possible to organize a full-fledged heating of a room only if several infrared heaters are placed in such a way that the heat from them is directed to all parts of the room. Thus, economical space heating over the entire area becomes impossible.
Gas heating will require insignificant expenses. The power of such devices varies between 1.6-6.2 kW. Gas heaters constantly provide the room with heat. The main disadvantages are the combustion of oxygen and dry air, so it is not recommended to use such devices in living rooms. But they are ideal for private houses and cottages, provided that a constant supply of fresh air is provided.
The use of diesel heaters is resorted to only if it is impossible to use other types of fuel. These devices are highly efficient and reliable. They are also recommended for use in private homes and cottages.
Infrared heaters and convectors consume the minimum amount of energy, and they are also reliable. The latter are ideal for carefully designed apartments as they have a beautiful appearance. They can also be mounted on the wall or floor.
However, it should be borne in mind that cheap models are characterized by low power, and can also create annoying noise. Good convectors are manufactured by Nobo, Elecrolux, Ballu and Noirot.
Infrared heaters are by far the most convenient. They, like a real fireplace, fill the room with "live" warmth. Thanks to this, infrared devices with minimal power consumption and in a short time create a comfortable atmosphere in the room. But keep in mind that an economical infrared-type home heater does not always work at full capacity - cheap models have this feature.
Despite their low cost, their service life will be short, and the quality of heating will not be too high. Reliable and highly efficient devices are heaters from the Turkish manufacturer Infratek.
Economic heaters for the home
Private houses have autonomous system heating, however, in the event of a short-term cooling, it is unprofitable to start it. Therefore, if you want to maintain a comfortable temperature in the premises, but do not spend money on starting the boiler, you have to use heaters. When creating a heating system, it is important to install high-quality devices that are reliable and durable.Convectors are perfect for interseasonal heating, as they have a number of positive qualities:
- fire safety;
- equipped with wheels for easy movement;
- the presence of a flat aesthetic body;
- do not overheat;
- there is no combustion of oxygen;
- do not need grounding;
- can work around the clock;
- are not exposed to moisture, so they can be installed in bathrooms;
- if the instructions for installation and operation are followed, they become economical, reliable, highly efficient and durable.
Kerosene heaters in the form of fireplaces can be an interesting interior detail. In addition, they provide economical heating country house. They do not require electricity or wood to operate. Such heaters quickly warm up the room, while not releasing burning and smell.
Economical garage heaters
For heating garages and other outbuildings, the choice of heaters is limited. For this purpose, only three types of devices are used: gas, electric and infrared. The most economical are gas and infrared heaters. Gas is inexpensive, but the disadvantage of devices operating on it is that it is impossible to install it yourself - given fuel is dangerous.The advantages of gas appliances are that there is no need to connect to the power supply, the rooms are heated quickly, and the fuel itself is cheap. The best heaters are presented in the form of ceramic devices, convectors and honeycomb screens.
The safest are ceramic models, which are characterized by low cost and low coolant consumption. They are also absolutely safe, since the gas supply stops in the absence of a flame. The body is made of stainless steel, which ensures durability and resistance to different types impact.
The most economical way to heat a garage is to use infrared heaters. Most often they are attached to the ceiling, although there are also wall and floor models. However, it is ceiling heaters that contribute to uniform and high-quality heating of surfaces, since the rays spread to a greater number of objects. But for the full heating of the room, it is recommended to use several devices at once, setting them in such a way that the radiation reaches all surfaces in the room.
If you install at least one infrared heater in the garage, then you can “improve” the condition of the car - the hood will warm up and will not freeze even in the most severe frost.
Heating in the garage is important. Many people are familiar with the situation when the car refuses to start in the cold, it becomes impossible to open the door, etc. All these problems can be solved by installing a heater in the garage. Since the premises are non-residential, it is possible to use not only electrical, but also gas equipment, the use of which is the most economical of all existing options.
Also not expensive way of heating are diesel heating boilers and guns. It is diesel guns that are most often used, since they are safe, but at the same time, their operation requires a constant supply of fresh air. In the absence of a flame and the likelihood of overheating, the device turns off.
Economical heating of the house is quite possible - you just need to choose the right heater. The most common today are infrared and gas heaters. The latter of them are used most often - gas is a widely available and inexpensive fuel, so space heating with the help of such devices is much cheaper than electric heaters.
Tips for choosing an economical heater for your home on video:
In apartments or private houses, supplementary heating with electric radiators may be required. Usually this caused a large expenditure of electricity, and therefore money. In today's markets there are economical electric heaters new generation, which do not require high consumption electric current. Consider the design features, how to choose the right heater and the rating of popular models.

Economical electric heaters of a new generation: types and their features
When choosing an economical new generation radiator, pay attention to the following criteria:
- Ease of installation so that no specialist services are required.
- The ratio of the heating area and the cost of electricity to make it really profitable.
- Reliable safety performance.
In order to understand, we will consider in detail all types of electricity.
Quartz infrared heaters
The heating element in quartz infrared radiators is a tube-like lamp, which is protected by a metal case. Unlike other types of heaters, it does not heat the space, but a certain area or object to which the equipment is directed.
At the same time, the efficiency of the most advanced models reaches 90%. When you choose an economical option for yourself, pay attention to the lamp itself. For example, halogen absorbs more electricity.
The use of infrared quartz heaters in the form of a film is popular, it has a low heating temperature, therefore it is used inside walls and floors, with an additional coating with a layer of foil to reflect heat.
Note! Even after a power outage, film heaters retain surface heat for a long time.
Advantages of quartz devices:
- Suitable for any type of premises;
- Few electricity costs;
- The case practically does not heat up;
- Holds heat for a long time and quickly gains temperature;
- No unpleasant odors during operation;
- Reliability and durability.
The disadvantages include the massiveness of quartz structures of the usual (not film) type.
Oil coolers
This is the most popular model. Of all heaters, only oil heaters are called radiators. The principle of operation is reduced to heating any liquid inside the container. And this liquid acts as a heating element.
Such heating devices have good specifications, do not emit unpleasant odors, and long-term use is also allowed. There are stationary and mobile versions, additionally may have .
Advantages:
- You don't need a specialist to connect;
- Low price;
- Able to maintain the resulting temperature;
- There is an automatic shutdown mechanism, which saves energy consumption.
Note! Not suitable for small spaces and additional child protection should be provided as the appliance itself becomes hot.
But thanks to automatic operating modes, it can be attributed to one of the most economical heaters for the home.
Ceramic heating panels
It is possible to carry ceramic models to economic electric heaters of new generation. The appearance of such products occurred recently, but due to their effectiveness, they quickly gained popularity among consumers.
Such equipment includes:
- The case is monolithic;
- Ceramic elements;
- Heat-resistant cable that serves as a heating element.
A distinctive feature is the combination of two heating options: convection and infrared. The room heats up quickly and evenly.
The advantages of the model include the following:
- This type of heating is suitable for any buildings and premises;
- Does not cause harm to health;
- The ceramic panel consumes 370 W of power and consumes no more electricity than a conventional TV;
- Automatic control;
- Safe for children, as they have special protective elements;
- Ease of care and durability.
Helpful information! do not install such a heater in niches, as this leads to a decrease in performance.
Ceramic panels can be attributed to electric radiators for summer cottages (wall-mounted and economical) or for the home due to their versatility in location.
Convectors and their advantages
Economical electric heaters of the new generation are among them. They have a directed action on a certain heating area, and the heat is supplied very quickly.
Works on the principle of air circulation. The cooled stream from above descends, passes through the convector and thereby heating occurs. This cycle is repeated several times until the automatic shutdown is activated.
The advantages include:
- Ease of operation;
- Light weight;
- Low price.
Although the air in the room will heat up quickly, it will raise dust. Therefore, it is not recommended for people with allergies to use it.
Helpful information! To increase efficiency, use wall-mounted electric heaters with a thermostat.
Thermal heaters
Not the most popular for residential premises are thermal heaters. They work on the principle of heating air, passing it through the heater with the help of a fan.It has a local effect, so it is rational to use it as an additional source of heat or to heat rooms where people are not constantly located, for example, change houses.
Thermal heaters have several disadvantages, which include noise and quick failure of parts, as well as near the equipment it turns out too heat air.
Which heater is better for an apartment and more economical
To choose the right electric heater for yourself, you should decide on the following parameters:
- Area of the room (what power is required);
- How fast should the temperature rise;
- The presence of children (whether protection from burns is needed);
- The price you are expecting.
When you decide on all the parameters, you can look at the selected type of reviews and offers of the modern market. The table below shows the models that are considered popular.
