If you are looking to control your heating bills, it may be time to consider purchasing a ceramic tower heater. Ceramic tower heaters are used to heat small areas such as a room. They are usually portable. So if you need to heat only one room, you can use the ceramic heater, as opposed to the centralized heating. This step would have a drastic impact on reducing your heating bills.

In a ceramic tower heater, ceramic heating coils are used through which electricity is passed to generate the heat. This heat is either radiated through the room or a fan is used to blow the hot air across the room. Often these heaters have oscillating fans that blow the hot air in different directions, thus spreading the heat evenly through the room. Ceramic heating coils use less electricity than the traditional coils to heat up. Thus they are more energy efficient.

Ceramic tower heaters usually have several safety features built in, for example, thermostats that ensure that the ceramic coils don’t overheat. They also have a mechanism that turns the heater off in case it falls. Ceramic heaters function at temperatures lower than the temperature required for burning paper, so they are relatively safer. The most basic ceramic heaters such as the Aloha Breeze 1500 Watt Tower Heater have all of the above features. It also has a power indicator light and three comfort settings (fan/low/high).

More advanced ceramic heaters which you can buy for $50 and above will have various additional features. For instance the Optimus Oscillating Tower Cermaic Heater looks stylish and has a digital thermostat with an LCD display, remote control and on/off timers, in addition to all the basic features. Certain ceramic towers even include a built in ionizer that helps to clean the air of your room while simultaneously heating it. An instance of such a heater is the Supentown heater, SPT SH-1508 Tower Ceramic Heater with Ionizer.

If you are looking for a safe, energy efficient heater to heat a room or a small space then, a ceramic tower heater is your solution.
