In the winter, most people want a warm and cozy home that they can retreat to after a long day. The best way to achieve this is with an electric heater. With so many options available on the market, it is hard for individuals to choose which one would be best for them. That is why we have created this guide – to break down all of your decisions so you can make an educated decision about what type of electric heater will work best in your home or room.
Firstly we will be discussing a few major Types of Electric heaters, which are readily available in Pakistan. Then, we will be looking at a few of the features which are highly correlated with their price. (More features, higher price). Finally, we will guide you about their costing and give a comprehensive price list.
Types of Electric heaters
Searching over the internet you will come across many types of electric heater usually distinguished as per their heating system. So, here we will give a comprehensive overview of all different type of heaters available in Pakistan and their comparative heater price analysis.
Electric Fan Heaters:
These are one of the common type of heaters that fall in mid price range. They are also called blower heaters as well and you can image it as a hot hair dryer.
However, they are not preferred a lot in Pakistan because of two reasons.
- They are very noisy due to blower fan rotating constantly inside the heater.
- They burn oxygen and emit carbon dioxide into the air.
However, it is preferred when long throw of heat is needed.
Infrared Heaters:
This is an excellent option if you have a very small room or want to warm up just one particular area. These electric heaters have many advantages over other electric heaters in Pakistan.
- Along with heat, it also emits light.
- It either emits no or very less carbon dioxide depending on the type of infra-red heater.
- It has soundless operation.
- It does not need closed space to transmit heat as the heat radiates.
- It is highly economical.
As, this electric heater price in Pakistan is insanely lower than all other heaters, it is the most selling and most preferred heater.
Also there are currently three different variants in infrared heater:
- Carbon Heater (economical with heat therapy)
- Halogen Heater (efficient with faster heating)
- Quartz Heater (slower but more efficient and economical)
Ceramic Heaters:
Now, this is considered as a more sophisticated high-end electric heater in Pakistan. This type of Electric heater is great if you have a large or medium-sized room.
This heater works on convection mechanism to heat the surroundings. Its hot ceramic plate causes the air molecules in your home to become energized and heat up. This results in faster and more uniform heating.
Also they are highly efficient in heating as no sound or light is emitted, and all you get is pure heat.
But it has some downsides, like cleaning out the ceramic plate or filter seasonally to prevent dust and dirt from building up.
On price point of view, this is a bit expensive than infrared and fan heaters but still falls in mid price range.
Electric Radiator Heaters:
These types of electric heaters look like mini radiators. The ones available today produce both warm and cool air, so if you want to be able to adjust your thermostat at any time – this is perfect for you. They work by warming up water or oil that goes through tubes, then heats metal fins behind it. This makes them very efficient in terms of energy use and emits lots of hot air into your home.
On price point of view, it is most expensive heater in Pakistan that need a constant power supply. Therefore, is mostly used in commercial areas and hotels.
Recommendation
From all of the above electric heaters, we recommend infrared heaters for single-person usage, as they are quite budget-friendly and cost you far less upfront money. But we would recommend an bigger infrared or ceramic with oscillation for family or large gatherings.
Here is our review of different types electric heaters in Pakistan.
Factors to Look While Buying Best Priced Electric Heater
Electric heater price in Pakistan not only depend on the product cost but also on its running cost.
Power consumption: Calculate the total power consumption and watts per hour. An ideal electric heater will consume one 10th the power of an Air conditioner.
Efficiency/ Heat output: Look for the heater’s efficiency in converting electricity into heat energy. There are different mechanisms for convergence, ceramic fan, quartz tube, and carbon tube. Etc. By far, Carbon heaters are the most efficient ones.
Thermostat control features allow us to change the room’s temperature effectively. An electric heater with an auto thermostat can save you a lot of hassle from manually changing the temperature.
Size of room: Get the right size electric heater for your room. Do not get an electric heater that is too small or large for the room. Using such a small heater for a large room would be a waste. It would be expensive to select a large heater for a small room.
Price: Consider how much you are willing to spend on an electric heater and the long-term cost you’ll be bearing from that heater. An excellent electric heater will cost less while purchasing and save you a ton of money by reducing the electric bill.
House insulation: what type of material is in your house (wood, metal). Heat can easily be absorbed by concrete/metal than wood, which can reduce efficiency. So, wooden paneling in the room is an ideal choice for an electric heater.
Placement of heater: where will it be plugged in? Near a window or subsequent to furniture? We recommend it to be placed in an open space without any barrier in front of it.
Safety Features of Any Good Electric Heater
Safety is important even when it comes to electric heaters. There are some safety features that you need to look out for before buying one:
Tip-over shut-off: This feature automatically shuts off the heater when it’s not standing upright.
Overheating protection: This feature turns off and on repeatedly to prevent overheating. Some models feature energy-saving settings that will turn off the device after a set amount of time or periodically cycle on and off while in operation (to avoid overheating).
thermal cut-off: this feature shuts down the unit if it starts overheating or catches on fire
These features demand some extra cash, and the overall cost of the electric heater is increased. But we would suggest never compromising safety as it can cost you your life.
Tips for Using Electric Heater in Pakistani Homes
- If using an electric heater, make sure there’s enough space between the wall and furniture. This allows for proper ventilation behind any equipment that’s placed against the walls.
- Remember that many electrical appliances get hot when running, so keep them away from flammable materials like curtains and carpeting.
- If you have children at home, avoid placing anything too close to floor level, as this can pose potential safety hazards if toppled over by kids who may not be aware of its dangers yet.
- Another important consideration is ensuring enough ventilation exists around your room’s electricity source (a circuit panel box). Overloading circuits is one-way fires can start, so keep clear of any items that may cause the surrounding area to overheat.
How to Increase the Efficiency of Electric Heaters?
You can do many things to make your electric heater more efficient. The most important thing is to use it at the right time of day (Time beside peak hours). Otherwise, you’ll face huge electric bills.
- According to our expert review team, an average infrared electric heater uses around 1000 watts. Continuously running them would get you charged tons of money. So only use them in dire need.
- A high-powered Infrared heater (1.2KW) works best when used for short periods (to reduce the coldness of the room) or by multiple people who switch it off briefly before returning to use it again. So if you are single, lower the heater watts by switching off the road.
- The front-facing section (the region from which infrared rays emit) shall be facing toward users as light is a form of energy and would increase your body heat rapidly.
- Don’t put the heater on the floor. Elevating it a bit higher (use a small table) and setting it to rotation will keep the room warm for a longer time with little power consumption.
- There are no obstacles in front of the electric heater as it blocks the heat waves, and they don’t easily travel throughout the room.
- Use an Electric heater only at late night or in the early morning, by which we mean that time which isn’t included in peak hours ( 6 pm- 11 pm ). Electricity is most expensive in these hours).
- An imported electric heater comes with a thermostat. Setting the thermostat to room temperature would automatically reduce the power consumption when the temperature is maintained in the room.
