An electric heater is a versatile heating device that uses electrical energy to generate heat for indoor spaces. Designed for residential or commercial use, it provides quick and convenient warmth, ideal for supplementing central heating or heating specific rooms. Electric heaters come in various types, such as convection heaters, radiant heaters, or oil-filled radiators, each offering different heating mechanisms—some distribute heat evenly through air circulation, while others directly warm objects and people. Many models feature adjustable thermostats, timer functions, and safety features like overheat protection or tip-over switches, ensuring both comfort and security. Energy-efficient options are popular in Australia, helping users manage heating costs while maintaining a cozy environment during colder months.
