With so many types of heaters to choose from, it helps to understand some high level advantages and differences. While many people select heaters for reasons of convenience and relatively low operating costs, it’s important to understand how different types of electric heaters warm the air.
Infrared heaters, for example, tend to just provide directional heat, heating only the part of the room in the direction they are facing. Ceramic heaters, on the other hand, provide more uniform heat distribution for all-over room comfort.
A Ceramic Heater is an electric consumer product that produces heat by passing room-temperature air over a ceramic heating element (PTC or Positive Temperature Coefficient.)
As electrical current is applied to the ceramic element the voltage quickly decreases as it obtains a particular temperature which is based on the composition of the ceramic element. This in effect means that a ceramic heater is self-regulating and is generally more energy efficient compared to a typical resistance space heater.
I use this heater in the office since the thermostat stays on one temperature and since its a large office building it gets colder in some offices at different times during the day. Actually, we all have one of these in each of our offices. Anyway, its a little heater but it does the trick. Typically if I'm going to be cold, it'll be at the lower parts of body. This little heater heats up my legs and feet. It's not a silent heater, at times it seems relatively loud if you're near it but someone across the hall won't hear the heater but it'll be difficult at times to hear them when they're speaking to you if they are at their desk in their office. It probably didn't cost very much considering they put one in each of our offices so I would conclude that it was a good buy.
