What is the Best Large Electric Heater For Your Home?

Heating any space in a cost-effective and efficient manner can be tricky, especially if the room or home in question is larger than average.

In this guide, we’ll cover some common sense tips on how to heat large spaces effectively, as well as highlight our new EnviMAX electric wall heater, which is one of the best large electric heaters on the market today.

First let’s explore the problem at hand: why is it so difficult to heat large spaces?

The Difficulty of Heating Larger Homes

The allure of living in a larger home is strong, especially if you plan on having a large family or love to entertain guests. However, with such large homes comes a variety of challenges, including the issue of comfort.

It is expensive to heat a large home all winter long with gas or oil. Even when you do keep the heat going, certain rooms can experience cooler temperatures due to a variety of factors. The main issue being, it’s simply more difficult to evenly heat larger spaces, especially in rooms with high or vaulted ceilings. The heat rises and has more places to escape to, and before you know it, you’re wasting energy.

Another issue is that many large homes tend to be on the older side, which means that they were originally designed with less than adequate insulation or central heating. While this isn’t always the case, there are still quite a few “large” homes that fall into this category.

Related to this, larger homes simply have more windows and doors, which means more chances for heat to escape or for drafts to occur. Depending on the size of your home, you could have three or four times as many windows as a typical one bedroom or two bedroom house. That’s a lot of room for something to go awry in terms of your ability to comfortably heat your home.

This combination can result in spending a lot of money for what feels like lackluster heating. Newer homes that are built with modernized central heating don’t have as much of an issue, but depending on how large your main living spaces are, you may still feel as though you could use a little extra heat, especially if you would prefer not to manage a fireplace all of the time.

Tips For Heating Large Spaces

Heating a large home can be challenging, especially during the colder months. However, there are several tips and strategies you can use to keep your home warm and comfortable without breaking the bank. Here are some tips for heating large homes:

• Upgrade your insulation: A well-insulated home is much easier to keep warm. Make sure your home is properly insulated by checking for drafts and adding insulation to your attic, walls, and floors if needed.
• Use a programmable thermostat: A programmable thermostat can help you save money on your heating bills by allowing you to program your heating system to turn on and off at specific times of the day.
• Seal air leaks: Air leaks can let cold air into your home and warm air out. Seal air leaks around doors, windows, and other areas where cold air may be getting in.
• Use ceiling fans: Ceiling fans on the lowest setting can help distribute warm air throughout your home by pushing it down from the ceiling.
• Consider zoning your heating system: Zoning your heating system allows you to heat different areas of your home separately. This can be particularly useful if you have rooms that you don't use as often.
• Invest in a high-efficiency heating system: A high-efficiency heating system can help you save money on your heating bills by using less energy to heat your home.
• Use curtains and blinds: Close curtains and blinds at night to keep the heat inside your home. During the day, open them to let the sun warm your home naturally.
• Use space heaters: Space heaters can be an effective way to heat individual rooms without having to heat your entire home. You may have tried various space heaters in the past with mixed results, however below we will highlight one that might be a real difference-maker in terms of heating your larger spaces more effectively.
