Is a space heater more energy efficient?

Space heaters use electricity to produce heat.

This HVAC system is ideal for small spaces.

Essentially, it is good HVAC equipment for supplying extra heating in a room or two. However, when heating the whole home, you’d instead go for the central HVAC system. Electric space heaters are not as energy-efficient whole-home heaters as central heating systems. They are also not convenient because you’ll have to transfer them from one room to another to heat your whole home. This is tiring and time-consuming. It is also a burn hazard. When you consider buying a space heater, be sure to get the most energy-efficient space heater in the market. When buying a space heater, get one that’s adapted to heat your room. Compare it to other models to have a broader scope and decide the most energy-efficient heater for your home. However, you can maximize your space heater’s energy efficiency by getting one with a smart thermostat and timer settings. This will help keep the room’s temperature at your desired level. Also, consider getting natural gas or liquid propane-powered space heaters because they can achieve a high energy efficiency of up to 99.9% energy efficiency. Boost your space heater’s energy efficiency by insulating your home. When your house has proper insulation, then the energy consumption will be lowered by over 20%. Seal and insulate your ducts and any holes in the attics, the basement, the doors, garage, and all windows. Finally, ensure your HVAC equipment meets all the industry specifications for a good heating and cooling system.
