Winter is coming, and if you’ve seen a single episode of Game of Thrones, you know that means one thing: it’s time to prepare! The smart move would be grabbing a room heater before the demand surges.
Room heaters can generally be classified into three main types – fan heaters, oil-filled radiators, and infrared heaters. Fan heaters, or convection heaters, are known for quick heating, making them ideal for small to medium rooms but can sometimes dry the air. Oil-filled radiators take longer to heat but provide consistent warmth without reducing humidity, which makes them ideal for larger spaces and overnight use. Infrared heaters or ‘rod heaters’ are affordable options that use a heating element to radiate heat directly, which makes them ideal for spot heating in small areas.
When choosing a room heater, consider factors like heating capacity, energy efficiency, and safety features such as overheat protection, a cool-touch body, and tilt switches. Portability options like castor wheels and adjustable thermostats for temperature control also add convenience. Here are some of the best heaters in India that you can choose from.
