4 Features a Plug-in Electric Heater Should Have

Thinking about buying a plug-in electric heater to supplement your home’s system?

You have lots of options, that’s for sure. But whatever you settle on, make sure it has at least these 4 features, in some capacity or other.

No Exposed Hot Components

Plug-in electric heaters get hot. There’s no way to engineer that away, or they wouldn’t do what they’re supposed to.

The problem is that a large portion of the house fires that occur every year are tied in some way or other to space heaters, the vast majority of which (at least those used indoors) are electric.

Worse, many electric heaters have somewhat exposed elements. This is especially true in the case of radiant electric resistance heaters, which have a coil that gets many hundreds of degrees.

This not only produces a substantial risk of fire if the heater is used irresponsibly, but a big risk of burns and even electric shock to bystanders. A somewhat-exposed heating element produces an especially elevated risk to young children, pets and seniors.

So if you do get a plug-in electric heater, make it a point to get one that has a shielded heating element, or some other active or passive protection measures against fire and electric shock.

(For what it’s worth, an exposed heating element can also accumulate dust, which then produces a higher risk of fire hazards when the unit is switched on. So a shielded element is better in that sense, too.)

Automatic Shut Off Safety Features

Free-standing space heaters can tip over, which can ignite carpets, curtains and other furniture. This is arguably how most fires started by electric heaters can occur.

Many have safety features, such as automatic shut offs that deactivate them if they are tipped or moved.

Wall-mounted plug-in electric heaters, specifically those produced by eheat, feature Wall Sens technology that automatically kills the power if the heating unit is removed from the wall.

Either way, this sort of technology is a must as it can substantially counteract the risk of fires.

No (or Few) Moving Parts

This is not a matter of safety in the conventional sense of the word, but of user friendliness.

The thing about many space heaters (even electric ones) is that many of them have blower motors.

These are effective at circulating heat around a space, but they also circulate allergens and pathogens. Convection and radiant heaters are better as they do not actively circulate dust, allergens and other harmful pathogens.

There’s an added benefit, though, on top of this - space heaters with few (or no) moving parts are much easier to take care of.

Which segues into the next point.

A Simple Design That Is Easy to Maintain

Some plug-in electric heaters, like the Envi models produced by eheat, have no moving parts or intricate components, with a sleek, austere external facade that is remarkably easy to keep clean and maintain.

As far as the maintenance of heating systems is concerned, there is no simpler design. To clean one, you simply wipe it off with a rag. That’s all there is to it - and that saves time and money.
