The Basics

There are two main measurements given for heaters, these are Wattage(W) or Kilowattage(kW) and BTU. A watt or kilowatt is a measurement of energy transfer. However, BTU, which stands for British Thermal Units, is the most common way energy and heat output is measured in the UK.

Deciding which heater is required, based on your room size can be di icult, so we have provided a guide to help you: Example based on the room being 4m x 4m.

4m x 4m = 16m2 16m2 x 111 = 1776W (Simply divide by 1000 to give you kW)1776W x 3.41 = 6056 Btu/hr (Multiply by 3412 if using kW)

This is great for giving you a starting point. Remember these calculations are based on a ceiling height of around 2.5m. A significantly higher ceiling, or even poor insulation would require larger volumes of heat, so the wattage required would increase accordingly.

Heater Types

Once it is established what size heater is required, it is worth considering where and how the heater is going to be used. Below are some suggestions to suit various environments.

Ideal for use at home and in o ice spaces, infrared heaters work by converting electricity into radiant heat. None of their heat is lost to air movement, as the radiant heat travels directly to objects. Once the thermostat is turned down, the room remains at a comfortable temperature due to residual heat.

Due to the fumes created, our range of Para in/Kerosene/ Diesel and Propane heaters are used for heating large areas with a good source of ventilation, such as workshops, warehouses or barns, where external doors remain open for long periods. Deciding which fuel is best will depend on your needs. Kerosene/Diesel burns strongly and o ers a powerful amount of heat. This type of heater works by heating the air within the interior.

Energy Label

Convection makes use of air’s natural rise and fall to transmit heat, which is then transferred to the surroundings. It will warm a room evenly as the air rises and falls uniformly within the space. This type of heat is quick and responsive but once the unit turns o , the heat can soon be lost. It works best in small spaces but could aggravate dust allergies due to air manipulation.

PTC heaters are used in a wide range of environments due to the safe, reliable and e icient heat they emit and the compact, lightweight design of the units. PTC materials restrict current flow as the threshold temperature rises. Initially, PTC heaters draw full power, enabling them to deliver a consistent, uniform heat quickly. Once the optimum temperature is reached, the overall power consumption level drops.

Energy labels like these are required on most electrical appliances, including some heaters. Appliances are tested for how much energy they use during typical use. This gives them a rating on a scale from A+++ to G, with A+++ being the most e icient.

ErP Regulation

ErP stands for Energy Related Products and is a regulation set by the EU/UK which is designed to drive improvements in the e iciency and performance of electrical appliances like heaters. All our ErP compliant heaters will feature the logo, clearly shown to the right.
