Electric Heater: the buying guide from Klarstein

Turning a convection heater on for a few minutes allows you to effectively heat a room: using their internal heating elements and diffusing the heat according to the convection principle, modern convector radiators emit a flow of warm air that rises upwards and suck in cold air which tends to go down, providing an almost instant warmth sensation.

Convector heaters with a timer and thermostat allow you to easily set and maintain the desired temperature at all times, making for a practical, easy to operate indoor heating solution. Thanks to a modern and elegant design, wall-mounted convector heaters adapt easily and discreetly to pre-existing furniture elements; while portable convector equipped with removable rollers ensure portability, so that you can enjoy maximum versatility and targeted heating in the rooms where you spend more time without having to resort to your the boiler, with a significant reduction in energy consumption.

Infrared heaters are one of the most advanced solutions and offer a completely new form of heating. After reaching a temperature of around 60 °C, infrared heating panels begin to radiate and transmit heat directly to the bodies and objects in the room, using the same principle as the sun does. The air is not heated directly, thus retaining its humidity and ensuring maximum breathing comfort for people with respiratory problems.

With an infrared heater, you can immediately feel a pleasant sensation of warmth even when you are not in its immediate surroundings. Approximately 90% of the energy consumed by an electric radiant heater converts into heat, ensuring higher efficiency than other electric radiators. Available in white or with exclusive decorations and thanks to their reduced thickness and overall dimensions, infrared wall heaters can be easily installed on the wall behind doors and narrow spaces, serving as an effective, space-saving solution. At first glance, infrared heaters are not even recognisable as a heating device, but nevertheless they provide the desired effect. For your bathroom, you can also opt for a so-called mirror heater, where the infrared heater is integrated directly into the bathroom mirror.

Structurally similar to traditional heat exchangers, oil filled radiators use an electrical resistance to heat a reservoir of thermal fluid inside them.The oil is heated but not consumed, acting as a heat accumulator that doesn’t need replenishing. Oce switched off, oil heaters continue to push out heat in the room, optimising energy consumption especially in the case of prolonged use.

With extremely low costs, both in terms of purchase and operation, an oil filled radiator is a timeless classic for the winter months, when you need to support your main heating system with a practical, reliable space heater.Modern electric oil-filled radiators are extremely easy to use, through an intuitive interface to set the temperature and operating mode. Oil heaters are easily transportable from one room to another thanks to their caster wheels and reduced weight.

The sensation of being in front of the classic wood-burning fireplace, without having to fight with odours and smoke, and no ashes to collect. All this is possible thanks to next-generation electric fireplaces, designed to satisfy the needs of those who live in flats and look for an electric heater not simply capable of warming a room, but also of creating visual and thermal pleasure like no other.

In an electric fireplace, the artificial flame is generated by LED lights that illuminate reproductions of wood logs or charcoal, ensuring an extremely realistic effect. Electric stove fires can be operated through a remote control, choosing different heat levels and light shades just at the touch of a button. It’s also possible to switch-off the heating function and enjoy flame-only operation for year-round ambiance. Forget stockpiles of logs, venting and chimneys: an electric fireplace is a hassle-free, cost-effective solution and a true eye catcher, to enjoy a cozy atmosphere and endless fireside chats in any of your rooms.

Bioethanol fireplaces are trendy and offer a fascinating sight in many rooms. Thanks to the different construction methods and designs, you can easily choose the model that fits perfectly into your room. Bio-fireplaces work according to a simple principle. The fireplace consists of a stainless steel tub, a separate tank and several glass panels to protect the flame. The ethanol burns in a smokeless and yellow flame, which attracts the attention of the observer.

Biofuel fires are divided into different groups: you can buy table-top, freestanding and wall-mount bioethanol fireplaces. Thanks to their simple principle of operation, there's no need for a chimney and maintenance is also quite straightforward. Their beautiful, stylish lighting is particularly effective in the dark season and catches the eye with the natural movement of the flames.

On the other hand, it’s important to consider that ethanol fireplaces are not primary heating elements. They are mainly decorative and cannot be used to heat large rooms. Since the combustion process consumes oxygen, constant ventilation must be ensured when using bioethanol fireplaces.
