But what about when the heating season in a city apartment has not yet begun, and nature is already “throwing” its surprises in the form of an early cooling down? And what to do if dampness, torrential rains and slush interfered in our vacation in the country? We dare to assure you - of all these situations there is a very simple, fairly effective and not expensive way out. Relatively recently, a new type of product has entered the market of household appliances, which is rapidly gaining popularity among consumers - a ceramic heater for home and cottage. This type of heaters is a fan heater with a powerful heating element made of high-strength heat-resistant ceramics. Such units are increasingly becoming an alternative to oil radiators and homemade heating elements, which have been massively used to heat our homes in the past.
Consider the principle of operation of ceramic heaters, their types and features, as well as the advantages and advantages of these devices.
How does a ceramic heater work?
Most heaters of this type operate on the principle of forced convection. In simple terms, the fan blades "blow through" the air through the heating element - a plate, which is a set of ceramic parts.
The peculiarity of the unit operation is that it provides mild heating of the air, does not disturb its normal humidity and does not burn oxygen in the room. This is one of the main factors that provide a ceramic heater with only positive feedback.

Today, there are more and more ceramic heaters that heat the room not only by the principle of a convector, but also by infrared radiation. The difference between such devices is that the heat that they produce goes directly to the surrounding objects without being absorbed by the air.
Gas ceramic infrared heaters are especially popular, they are autonomous from power sources and can be used in “field” conditions.
The operation of heaters of this type is completely harmless, because their radiation is very similar to solar radiation, but it does not contain a radiation ultraviolet component.
Types of ceramic heaters for home and garden
Depending on the exact location of the room the installation of a ceramic heater would be most appropriate, a choice should be made between its three types. It should be noted that most of these units operate from a 220V household power grid, but there are also gas ceramic heaters - an equally popular type of device that deserves special attention.
-
Ceramic heaters desktop. Products are equipped with an auto-rotate, providing a multidirectional flow of warm air, which increases the speed of space heating. Differing from their “brethren” with somewhat smaller power and dimensions, these units are equipped with all the options that have more “serious” models. Several modes of operation of the heater and fan, overheating protection and "emergency" shutdown when overturning - all these features are in the arsenal of units. -
Ceramic wall heaters. Light and thin devices that look like a split-system air conditioner. The devices are conveniently mounted on the walls of the room, absolutely not standing out from the general interior. The set of heaters includes a remote control, which increases the convenience of their operation. Most models are equipped with an electronic thermostat that maintains a given temperature, as well as an ionizer that cleans the air. -
Ceramic floor heaters. The most powerful and large-sized units with the highest efficiency and productivity. Heaters are equipped with controllers that disable the device in case of overheating and overturning. The devices are equipped with timers, which allow you to adjust the time of the device, antibacterial lamps, microbial destruction and remote controls.

Gas Ceramic Heaters
Particular attention should be paid to devices that can be used outside the dwelling - in the garage or garden, on a picnic or fishing, etc. Units that will help to warm up or even cook food in field conditions are gas ceramic heaters. To give these devices and all are necessary "accessories", because power outages in rural areas occur much more often than in the city.
Despite the presence of a gas cylinder, the operation of devices is absolutely safe, of course, while observing all the necessary rules and regulations for working with such equipment. The units are equipped with carbon dioxide level sensors and an emergency shutdown system when it is exceeded. Gas heaters are well economical with high efficiency, and their main advantage is mobility.

The advantages of ceramic heaters
Let's look at what advantages and advantages ceramic heaters gradually replace other types of heaters from their leading positions:
- Safe operation. The heating elements of the devices, made of durable and reliable ceramics, are located inside the devices and are closed with a protective screen. The surface of the unit does not heat up to high temperatures, so it is impossible to get burns from contact with it. Devices of all types have the function of protection against overheating and shutdown when overturning. Ceramic heaters BORK, for example, automatically turn off if their angle of inclination exceeds 45 degrees.
- Heating rate. The process of heating the room, when the ceramic unit is operating, is faster due to its design features. The fact is that this device is a fan, "chasing" waves of warm air. Hot air masses warm the surface of walls and furniture, and she, in turn, gives off heat back to the room air, accelerating its heating.
- Sustainability. The advantage of the heater is that during its operation oxygen in the room air does not burn. Devices prevent the formation of harmful substances, as they do not burn room dust, and also prevent the spread of germs, having antibacterial lamps. Devices such as wall mounted POLARIS ceramic heaters are also equipped with an integrated ionizer that takes care of the quality of the
- air. The balanced design of the units allows them to spend about three times less energy than their counterparts, without losing, at the same time, in power and efficiency.
- Optimum dimensions. The compact size and low weight of the devices are another indisputable advantage. This is especially applicable to ceramic heaters for the garden. Reviews of owners of such devices speak about the convenience of their transportation and compact storage in conditions of close suburban "pantries".
- Ease of use. The devices are resistant and easy to install on any surface. The devices are equipped with a timer that allows you to set the time of their disconnection, as well as are equipped with a remote control with which they can be controlled remotely.
- Modern Design. The original and ergonomic design of all ceramic heaters allows them to blend in harmoniously with any, even the most sophisticated, interior.

It is obvious that such devices have quite significant advantages over their, for example, oil, counterparts. A special advantage is the cost of units, whether it is electric or gas ceramic heaters.
Consumer feedback directly suggests that these devices represent the most effective combination of price and quality of all types of heaters present in the domestic market.
