Electric Wall Mounted Heaters - Real Space Savers or a Waste of Money?

Electric wall heaters give the spaces in the home a concentrated source of heat. Known for their convenience and affordability, smaller heating systems can concentrate heat to its greatest intensity because the appliance sits right in the room with a person rather than in a basement downstairs or another lower room of the home. Electric wall heaters are installed directly into the wall.

Because of their convenience, size and the fact that they do not take up space in the middle of the floor like others heating units, electric wall mounted heaters are becoming more and more popular, but the real question is are they really space savers or are they just a waste of money?

Unlike some larger electric heaters, many wall mounted heating units can only heat spaces up to about 400 ft.² or smaller. Typically, they cost anywhere from about $100-$400. Often times, these appliances use fans to force the heat out and circulate it throughout the room. Because of this, you must really take the time and consider whether or not this appliance will be quiet enough for your room because some fans can create noisy heaters.

Determining whether a wall-mounted heating appliance is a space saver or a waste of money takes a lot of consideration. Most of us are familiar with the ceiling mounted bathroom heaters that make a very loud noise whenever the light switch is turned on. Many consumers would not want to put up with that in their bedroom or the baby's room. Therefore, take care to read the product descriptions carefully when selecting your next electric wall-mounted heater.
