Why Electric Space Heaters?

Choosing an electric space heater over other heating options often comes down to three key factors: convenience, variety, and cost. Here's why they make an excellent choice for your supplemental heating needs:

Convenience

The convenience of an electric space heater is unmatched by any other style heater, in most cases you simply plug it in and turn it on and feel heat within seconds.  There is no need to obtain fuel and, with the exception of hard-wired units, no need to hire an installer.  Set-up is incredibly simple, and most units are portable so you can move them into any room that needs added warmth.  Most units require very little maintenance outside of a filter cleaning and can be stored away in the summer months when they are no longer needed.  However, many models also feature a fan-only option for improved airflow year-round.

Variety

The variety of electric space heaters available provide you with varying levels of heat output and styles to meet your heating needs anywhere in your home.  Comfort Glow offers a plethora of portable electric heaters, quartz infrared heaters, electric stoves, fireplaces, and log sets to get you the heat you need while maintaining a fashionable look to your space.  The Dura Heat brand includes a wide range of products to meet any of your workspace heating or recreational heating needs including 240V units and hardwire heaters to get you even more powerful heat.

Cost

The initial cost of any electric space heater is inexpensive in comparison to other heater styles and requires very limited maintenance, so continued costs are minimal.  Most units require no need for professional installation and need nothing more than the electricity already available in your home to operate.  Most units run at 100% efficiency, truly giving you the most bang for your buck.
