The Two Types of Home Space Heater

There are two basic types of home space heaters commonly used in most homes today: the radiant home space heater and the convection home space heater. A radiant home space heater uses the infrared radiation to heat the person or objects in front of the home space heater directly. A radiant home space heater is a preferable choice if the person or an object will be inside a room or space for a short period of time or if you are in line of sight of the home space heater. A convection home space heater on the other hand is used to heat the air around the home space heater. It is often equipped with a fan blower to be able to spread the heat produced quickly to the air.
