Gas Heaters
A gas heater works quickly and efficiently, providing an abundance of warmth that gets right into a room’s corners. It's great for warming up medium to large rooms with multiple people, and will work even in a power outage.
Make sure you have the right gas source for your preferred model of gas heater: LPG or natural gas.
Flued gas heaters are the safest type of indoor gas heater. They’re installed in your home, and use an attached pipe (the flue) to transfer combustion gases outside. This provides cleaner air quality.
Unflued or portable gas heaters have advantages, too: they can be carted from from room to room, are cheaper to buy than flued models, and have higher energy star ratings.
Personal aesthetic preferences can make the buying process more fun. For example, you can get the look of an authentic fireplace with a gas log heater.
Electric Heaters
Electric heaters can be a cheap and efficient type of room heater to keep your bedroom or small to medium living room warm.
There are a number of different types of electric heaters, some of the most popular being column or oil heaters, fan heaters and panel and other convection heaters. For more detailed information on the pros and cons of each type, read our Heaters Buying Guide, linked below.
Budget
While a gas heater is more expensive to buy, electric heaters are the cheapest to run. To save on your electricity bill, also look for high energy star ratings and select the correct number of watts for your room size. Custom picking safety features that are right for you can make living with your new heater a relaxing, worry-free experience.
