Types of heater<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

How you use a room will help you to decide the type of heater that\u2019s most suitable. For larger rooms you want to heat regularly, like a living room, it\u2019s worth paying a bit more upfront for a fixed heater with lower running costs and more heat output than an electric heater. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This could be a modern wood or wood-pellet burner, an energy efficient heat pump, or a four-star flued gas heater. Electric heaters may be enough for smaller rooms and rooms you only heat occasionally, like bedrooms – they\u2019re cheap to buy but more expensive to run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choose the right heating for you and your family<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A warm home is vital for your comfort and health. The World Health Organisation’s recommended minimum indoor temperature is 18\u00b0C in living areas and 16\u00b0C in bedrooms. Recommendations for babies and elderly people are even higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In New Zealand heating is expensive (typically accounting for about 30 per cent of a household’s annual energy consumption). As energy prices rise and houses are getting bigger it is likely to cost even more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most people use electricity, gas or wood to heat their homes. Newer heating systems are more energy efficient and can reduce your power bills, while simple actions can make your existing heating options more efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Types of heater<\/a> on the EECA Energywise website has an overview of the pros and cons of different heating systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choosing a heater<\/a> on the Consumer NZ website is a comparison of the cost of different heaters and fuels (Note: You must subscribe to Consumer NZ to read it).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember, insulating your home reduces the amount of heating you need to keep your home at a comfortable temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Radiant heaters<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Types of residential radiant heaters include:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
  • electric radiant panel or element heaters (including infrared panel heaters), wall or ceiling-mounted<\/li>
  • bathroom ceiling-mounted electric heat lamps (with exhaust air duct)<\/li>
  • gas-fired infrared (outdoor) heaters<\/li>
  • gas-fired radiant tube heaters<\/li>
  • gas fires (visible flame) (a number of gas fires provide both radiant and convection heating)<\/li>
  • electric tubular heaters.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Characteristics of radiant heaters<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    • Someone directly in front of the heater will feel immediately warmer when it is turned on and immediately cooler when it is turned off.<\/li>
    • Only surfaces in a direct line of sight to the heater are heated.<\/li>
    • Though air isn\u2019t directly warmed, it will warm up through contact with surfaces that have been heated.<\/li>
    • Heating intensity increases as the surface gets closer to the heater.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Uses of radiant heaters<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

      Radiant heaters can be useful for heating spaces with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      • short-term room occupancy (for example, using a bathroom, making a drink in a kitchen)<\/li>
      • a need for immediate warmth<\/li>
      • large size (for example, long rooms, rooms with high ceilings) to directly provide heat to occupants<\/li>
      • high or fast air flow from outside or other cooler spaces (for example, garage, basement, deck)<\/li>
      • high transmission heat loss through walls or the floor or ceiling (for example, a conservatory in winter)<\/li>
      • high humidity (for example, bathrooms) with surfaces that temporarily need to be clear of condensation (for example, mirrors)<\/li>
      • occupants who are very active and mobile while in the room (for example, people doing aerobics or working in a garage workshop)<\/li>
      • rooms with thermal mass (as the heater warms the mass).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        A radiant heater will be less effective and less efficient compared to a convection heater if:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        • the radiant heat cannot freely radiate into the room (for example, because the heater is behind furniture) and\/or directly on to the room occupant<\/li>
        • the heater is distant from the occupant<\/li>
        • it is installed directly facing a window \u2013 heat energy will be lost through the glass<\/li>
        • the room is already very warm and near to desired air temperature<\/li>
        • the room has longer-term problems with condensation and moisture damage<\/li>
        • tight thermostatic control is required<\/li>
        • safety from touch is an issue.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
