subject: Benefits Of Electric Wall Mounted Heaters [print this page] As the winter months close in we find the need to heat our homes and places of work. This is usually at the time when we look at our current heating solutions and associated costs and try to determine if we are paying a reasonable cost for our home or office heating. We may find that we have to install or upgrade to more appropriate and efficient heaters. One such solution that gives a cost efficient and attractive heating solution is the wall mounted electric heater.
These can be installed on a wall or mounted along baseboards in the room.
Sometimes we will want to heat one location, for example only one office space may be in use, and so to have a separate wall mounted heater to perform this task would be more cost efficient than having a full central heating system keeping all rooms or offices heated. In your home environment you may only want to keep the bedroom warm or your general living area. An extra heating appliance may also be used to increase the overall heat level of your installed appliances, to be used only in the coldest of months.
It is essential to take into consideration the size of the room or location where you are going to install the unit. The size of the room will indicate the amount of energy needed to heat the room which will in turn guide you to making an informed choice of the correct size of heater needed for the room. A common size of wattage for a unit is 2000 to 2500 watts.
The electric wall mounted heater will come in a variety of styles, sizes and power ratings, with many different control panel options. One such control panel option is the temperature gauge. Some have preset settings while others have variable warmth settings and higher end models may have digital temperature controls which can also maintain a constant temperature level. It is obviously good to get a unit which will allow the temperature level to be adjusted to accommodate the different weather conditions such as increased warmth from the unit in the winter months and reduced warmth settings in summer.
Many models have built into the heater unit an on off timer. This can be used to pre heat a room before occupancy or periodically apply heat to rooms to reduce the risk of damp damage affecting unused rooms. We can see that the electric wall mounted heater can be a viable alternative to other heating solutions.
