So much heat it could melt the snow outside. But which is the best heater for you?

If you are looking for a small, powerful heater for your home or indoor workplace? Then the two options I would focus on is the halogen oscillating heater or the free standing space warmer. They are both lightweight heaters that can easily be moved around any space. The oscillating heater is especially great for a domestic setting due to its 60 degree angle of oscillation so can continuously heat your own little cosy area efficiently. It also has a number of safety and comfort features that helps with preventing injury and damage which is perfect for at home use.

If you want a heater that’s powerful enough to heat a large, exposed area than you should be looking at the mobile industrial diesel heater or the industrial ceramic fan heater. These two heater are great at warming large spaces in a short amount of time. For larger areas, or areas outside I would highly recommend the diesel space heater as it has a large tank, a long run time and has wheels to move it across rough terrain easily. The ceramic heater is beat for large rooms or workspaces.
