Wow has the DC Metro area been having a cold spell this week! We went from 60 degrees a week before Christmas down to 19 degrees for New Years. Two weeks ago Commonwealth Home Services provided some energy saving suggestions with a post on winter thermostat settings. Today we are sharing an article on another good cost effective option for staying warm this winter. Space heaters! Whether there’s that one cold room in your house that needs some help, or you just enjoy feeling wrapped up in a cozy warm blanket, sitting by a fire, sipping hot chocolate, a space heater is a good option. Space heaters have come a long way over the years. There are now three different types of heating options to consider: convection, radiation, and micathermic heaters. Mica what?
Don’t worry. We don’t all speak thermodynamics but this article from Groom + Style does a great job explaining the different options and what key factors you should consider when purchasing a space heater. Our personal favorite is #5!
