Heaters to keep you warm this winter As winter nears, we feel the cool breeze of the Himalayas getting extra icy and making us all cold and shivery. Winters are getting quite cold nowadays due to climatic changes. And as we prep ourselves by stuffing our wardrobe with woolen clothes and taking out the huge warm blankets, it is essential to keep our home and our surrounding warm as well. Heaters are the best option for countries like Nepal where the central heating system is not the best option to pass the few months of winter. Let's get to know the heaters available in Nepal that will help you get along with the cold icy winters.
Radiant Electric Heaters
Radiant Electric Heaters are commonly used in several households in Nepal. They come in different shapes and sizes. These convert the electric energy into heat energy. As you turn on the heater, the infrared bars or electrodes as a heating element that turns red as electricity passes through the heater. They do not heat the air directly rather the infrared radiation travels through the air until it hits a heat-absorbing object. They do not warm up the entire room but only a spot or a part of the room. These are best for small, and cozy rooms.
Electric Convection Heaters
Electric convection heaters work slowly and less efficiently; however, the heat and warmth emitted last for a longer period of time in larger areas. They operate by air currents that flow throughout the heater body, across its heating element. It heats the air and fills warmth in the room. Moreover, the heated air heats the cold air present in the room as well. They are best if you can place or mount onto the walls. Make sure to choose the appropriate place to mount the unit as moving it can be really difficult or you may also buy a small portable convection heater as well.
Electric Fan Heaters
As you may have guessed from its name, electric fan heaters are a fan that throws warm air into the surrounding. These are similar to convection heaters but have one core difference i.e. they combine an electric element with a fan to blow warm air into the room. If you can't bear the krr.. noise of electronics, then this may not be the best option for you. However, they are best for a cozy and small space and can be easily moved to other places.
Oil heaters
Oil heaters also are known as oil-filled column heaters use electricity to heat the oil inside a sealed column. As the columns are heated, they transfer the heat into the rest of the room. Column heaters take a little longer to heat up but once the oil columns are heated, they work pretty efficiently. It is ideal for long-term heating.
Gas Heaters
Gas heaters are generally a little cheaper to run than electric heaters mentioned above. Gas heaters are also a lot more responsive and capable of heating large areas in just a few moments. The downside is that gas heaters are generally a little more expensive to purchase. They may also produce harmful waste gases such as carbon monoxide. It is best not to run the gas heaters in a closed room but in a well-ventilated room.
