These heaters provide high output heat and blasts of warm air directly onto the body, and many can be mounted to your garage wall or ceiling.

Oil-filled heaters warm up special heat-conserving oil and radiate this heat into a personal space or room. Because the oil is never burned, these types of heaters are extremely safe and efficient.

Traditional fireplaces can be a fire hazard, but electric convector heaters are a great alternative, and add decorative, efficient heat. Because they use electricity, they are much safer than traditional wood-burning fireplaces, and are perfect for living rooms or bedrooms.
