\"ceramicYou have choices when it comes to your space heater. Most specifically, you will find yourself choosing between ceramic and infrared space heaters.<\/p>\n

Both units have their own pros and cons, but only one will be right for you. Read on for a guide to choosing between ceramic and infrared space heaters.<\/p>\n

What is Ceramic?<\/h2>\n

Ceramic units<\/a> tend to be very simple, featuring a heating element and a fan to disperse the hot air. They do not directly heat your skin, but instead increase the temperature of the space around you, leading to a warmer environment<\/a> over time.<\/p>\n

Because of this, it can take a long time for ceramic systems to take effect. However, the heat that they produce may stay in the air longer, making the machine somewhat energy efficient.<\/p>\n

Because ceramic units make use of fans, they tend to run very loudly (though the extent to which this is the case can vary quite a lot from unit to unit).<\/p>\n

Ceramic space heaters ultimately best serve users with larger spaces to heat.<\/p>\n
