subject: A Warming Thought For Every Business: Electric Heaters To Help Those Energy Bills [print this page] Some spaces are simply too big, too irregularly used or too inconvenient to heat conventionally. Turning the central heating up full blast in an office building, for example, is all very well but it runs into hundreds of extra pounds on the heating and utilities bills. Heating airy lounges and other large domestic rooms can also be a problem at this time of year: depending on the placement of your radiators, you can either have big cold spaces in between patches of warm or just rack up the boiler to max and have places that become too hot to sit near. Using electric heaters, of course, is the answer: a little added boost for those bigger rooms, and a viable alternative to heating for irregular office use.
Business rates for utilities tend to be pretty punishing. Also, the amount of time it takes for a central heating system to heat a whole building is quite large. That means, for example, that anyone coming into the office to do a bit of extra work, on, say, a Saturday or a Sunday, is likely to find it much simpler and much cheaper to use an electric heater right next to them, than to fire up the whole building and waste all that money heating all of those empty rooms.
Electric heaters these days are so well designed that they can kick out a lot of heat for not very much energy use. The convection action of the heat means quick warming of air in the immediate vicinity of the heater offering the perfect solution to the lone worker or to a small department working early or late.
Electric heaters work just as well in the home as they do in the office. Where someone in the home works from home, for example, it can be much cheaper annually to use hire heaters during the day, just in the parts of the house where the home worker is likely to be, and reserve the central heating for on demand use at the beginning and end of the day. Having a house centrally heated all day and night can be ruinously expensive while doing it just in the mornings and evenings will give you a much more manageable bill.
In domestic situations, electric heaters can be an outstanding way to bump up big room heat without over taxing the heating system, or making radiators too hot to sit near. In this instance, you simply hire in some extra electrically powered heaters and place them to fill the cooler spots in the rooms heat coverage. The results are cheap, effective and eco friendly.
