Some of us homeowners here in Arizona and New Mexico are lucky enough to have a part of our home that is a designated workshop or studio. While this great in many ways, these areas are often drafty and not always so comfortable during the winter months since they tend to be out in a house’s garage or in a home’s addition. Therefore, many homeowners find themselves needing some sort of temporary heating solution.
A propane space heater is a great option for providing temporary heating to a workshop, studio, garage, guesthouse, sunroom, converted attic or another area of a home that just never seems to stay warm.
Propane Space heaters generally fall into two categories – direct-vent and unvented.
Direct-vent propane space heaters are connected to a home with a small pipe that runs through a wall. They take air from the outdoors and draw it into a home through a vented system to provide heat. The exhaust fumes that are created are then released outside. If you are looking for precise and powerful heat, direct-vent propane space heaters are the way to go.
Unvented propane space heaters are typically less expensive to install than direct-vent space heaters since they can be placed inside without a venting system. They use ceramic panels or an internal flame to provide heat to a home. Although installation is fairly simple and cheaper for these models, there are more limitations in terms of where they can go in a house since the fumes they produce don’t get vented.
Farms, construction sites and additional commercial businesses can use propane space heaters for temporary heating as well. Not only can people working in these industries stay warm and comfortable by using a space heater for temporary heating, but they also help keep everyone safe.
Propane space heaters provide quite a few benefits to anyone and everyone who uses them. Here is a look at a few of them:
