Gas-fired or Electric – which is the best space heater for your apartment in 2021?

What should you choose when you’re faced with the choice of the best space heater for your apartment being either gas or electric?

Well, the one benefit (and remember we said the one) of gas over electric is that there is less consumption. Usually, it’s more economical to heat something with gas than it is with electricity – that’s why gas stovetops are still popular today.

However, there are negative sides to using gas.

Gas appliances have a greater risk of fire. If you dried clothing on a gas heater or left it too close to your curtains, there is a chance they would go up in smoke. A good rule of thumb – whatever type of space heater you have – is to make sure that you don’t leave anything flammable near it.
Gas appliances have a greater risk of explosion. While this is unlikely, and more likely with a gas stove, for instance, you always need to be careful around gas appliances.
Gas appliances are worse for the environment. Electric heating is said by the UK government and the National Institute of Standards and Technology to be better for the environment than gas heating. Gas appliances can cause indoor pollution, contributing to a harmful environment,

Because of these risks and the maintenance required with gas appliances, we recommend that you choose an electric space heater as the best one for your apartment.

So, why are TaoTronics electric space heaters better than a standard gas heater?

While this section applies to TaoTronics electric space heaters specifically, please be aware that you can use this learning to find the best space heaters around. What’s great is that our products will have many of these features as standard.

They have automatic timers and temperature gauges. This means you save money as your heater will automatically switch off when it understands the ambient temperature to be correct, or when you need it off during the day or night.
They have multiple safety features. There are overheating sensors… tip-over sensors… V-0 flame retardant materials… 24-hour auto-off features… ETL certification… 12-hour timers…
Different heating modes. With high and low modes available across our range, and eco modes available on specified models, you’ll be able to find a device that can see you through autumn, winter, and even a chillier spring.

How does a space heater work?

Space heaters use electricity to heat the air (in a ‘joule’ method) before circulating it around your room. This not only helps you to feel warmer if you’re near to it (although please stay far enough away that you don’t hurt yourself!) but warms the air in the whole of your room as well.

In a ceramic space heater, the ceramic plate inside the device is heated. This then heats the air near to it, which is blown across the room.
