Five Tips for Buying a Heater
Choosing a space heater is a matter of sifting through a bewildering array of types, power ratings, and fuel sources. Let's break it down a little to make the process easier.

What are the different types of space heaters?

• Radiant heaters emit infrared radiation that directly warms the objects in front of the heaters (rather than the surrounding air). If you only need heat by a desk or in a small section of a room, a radiant heater is quiet and will use very little power.
• Forced-air heaters use a fan to blow air that has been warmed by metal or ceramic heating elements. A forced-air heater is appropriate for quickly heating up a small- to medium-sized room, but can be noisy.
• Convection heaters draw cold air from the floor; the air is warmed by heating coils and emitted from the top of the heater. A convection heater is appropriate for quickly heating up a small- to medium-sized room, but also can be noisy.
• Radiators work by heating oil enclosed in a reservoir, gradually heating the surrounding air. If heating speed isn't an issue, you might want to opt for a radiator. These are extremely quiet and effective--perfect for bedrooms.

Should I buy an electric or a combustion model?
If you want a heater that will be available in emergencies, or that can heat areas larger than a single room, choose a "combustion" model--one that is powered by a gas or fuel like propane, kerosene, natural gas, or diesel. Which fuel type you choose depends largely on convenience and local availability. For example, diesel would be appropriate for a heater you take with you on long car trips.

How powerful a heater do I need?
Heaters are rated by BTU, which stands for British Thermal Unit (the amount of heat needed to heat one pound of water by 1 degree F). To find out how many BTU you need:

• Calculate the volume of the space to be heated by multiplying square footage by height.
• Multiply that number by 4 if your insulation is poor, 3 if it's average, or 2 if it's good.

The resulting number is a ballpark figure for how many BTU you'll need.

Do space heaters cost a lot to operate?
As a general rule, electric space heaters are more expensive to use than combustion models. To ensure energy efficiency, a thermostat is a must-have feature for any heater. For radiant heaters, models with a 360 degree heating surface can heat larger spaces. If you need a forced-air heater, models with ceramic elements tend to be more efficient.

Are space heaters a fire hazard?
Space heaters are implicated in about 25,000 residential fires every year. To ensure proper safety, always follow the manufacturer's usage instructions and fill out the warranty card to receive informational updates from the manufacturer. Also, look for extra safety features such as an automatic shutoff switch that can shut down the unit if, for example, it gets upended. In addition, choose a model where the heating element is adequately enclosed within the unit.

4.0 out of 5 stars Better than electric socks!, December 29, 2007

TZ "Armchair Critic" (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Indus-Tool CF Cozy Feet Heated Shoe Insoles (Kitchen)

I agree with the other reviewers that these inserts are cheaply made and the battery packs are a bit awkward, but I have severe problems with cold/numb feet, and these inserts have made it possible for me to be outdoors in the winter for the first time in over thirty years. You must be careful replacing the batteries, as the contacts in the battery holders are VERY fragile. The inserts are paper thin, so they can be used even in tight-fitting shoes, unlike battery-heated socks, which are too bulky to fit in any shoes or boots. The inserts are also better than the single-use toe warmers, because if your feet get too warm, you can simply unplug the wires from the batteries. I hope this company will improve the design and quality of these inserts--I'd gladly pay more for a better product. In the meantime, twenty bucks for these inserts is a good deal. Just make sure to also buy a AA battery charger.

3.0 out of 5 stars Initial response, January 6, 2006

Amazon Verified Purchase

I got this for my boyfriend for christmas, and he hasn't had alot of time to judge the product since it's been warm out, but these are his initial responses:

Pro: Heats up his feet quickly and they stay warm.

Cons: They can get uncomfortably hot if left on for too long. The strap to hold the batteries isn't uncomfortable or problematic, but it is inconvienent. Also, the shoe insert will slide backwards, so unless you want to adhere it to your shoe, it will become very irritating.

I ordered these foot warmers because my toes get cold and numb very easily in cool temperatures. The battery packs that strap to your legs were awkward and bulky and quickly slipped down my legs to my ankles as I walked. I felt some warmth when I first plugged the "cozy feet" in, but could not detect any heat a few minutes later. I returned the item to Amazon for a full refund.
