Choosing the right heater

Accoring to De’Longhi, the first step in choosing the right heater is to consider the specific needs. In this way, it will be possible to maximize the benefits and the efficiency of the unit.

1. Measuring UP! Calculate the output of wattage that would be needed to heat the required area. Small rooms will of course need less power output than the large rooms. During night-time it is advisable to keep the temperature lower than during the day, to obtain a best comfort level; therefore a less amount of power output is necessary.
2. Think of your needs! Think of how much time you spend at home. If you spend a lot of time in your house, than a long lasting heater (such as oil filled radiators) is preferable. On the contrary, ceramic and fan heaters are ideal for instant and short term heating. Choosing the right appliance according to the personal needs is a strategic step in order to optimize energy consumption by maintaining the ideal comfort level.
3. Know how your house is built up! Knowing exactly how the house is built up is important to place the heaters in the most efficient area in order to avoid temperature variations that can have an impact on the efficiency of the appliance. Moreover, by identifying and rectifying the least insulated areas, you will be aiding the efficiency of the appliance.
4. Carefully align the heater’s features to your needs. When considering the purchase of a heater, it is very important to know and understand the benefits of each product feature. Choosing a model with Comfortemp will help a lot to increase efficiency and save money.
