A convector heater is a heater which operates by air convection currents circulating through the body of the appliance, and across its heating element....
A heat pump is a machine or device that moves heat from one location to another location using mechanical work. Most heat pump technology moves heat from a low temperature heat source to a higher temperature heat sink....
A fan heater is a heater that works by using a fan to pass air over a heating element. This heats up the air, which then leaves the heater, warming up the surrounding area....
Space heating is the heating of a space, usually enclosed, such as a house or room. A space heater keeps the air and surroundings at a comfortable temperature for people or animals, or even plants in a greenhouse....
A storage heater is an electrical appliance which stores heat at a time when base load electricity is available at a low price, usually during the night, and releases it during the day....
Underfloor heating and cooling is a form of central heating and cooling which utilizes heat conduction and radiant heat or cold for indoor HVAC, rather than forced air heating which relies on convection....
A gas heater is a device used to heat a room or outdoor area by burning natural gas or liquefied petroleum gas.The first gas heater made use of the same principles of the Bunsen burner invented in the previous year....
A gasoline heater is a small, mounted or portable, gasoline, heater.In the United States they were used mainly for supplemental heat in automobiles and aircraft....
Geothermal heating is best defined as the use of the Earth's thermal energy for space and water heating. It has been used since the time of the Roman Empire as a way of HVAC buildings and spas by utilizing sources of hot water and steam that exist near the Earth's surface....
A heating pad is a pad used for warming of parts of the body in order to manage pain. Localized application of heat causes the blood vessels in that area to vasodilator, enhancing perfusion to the targeted tissue....
