Especially during the cold season, a workshop heater is an indispensable companion. But what exactly is behind this term and what advantages does it offer? In this article, you will learn everything you need to know about workshop heaters, from their functionality and different models to the most important purchasing criteria.
Workshop Heater: What Exactly Is It?
A heater is a device that warms the ambient air, ensuring comfortable temperatures in enclosed spaces. Workshop heaters are particularly popular because they provide quick and efficient warmth, making working comfortable even on cold days.
“A warm workplace is a productive workplace,” says Dr. Ing. Hans Meier, workshop expert and author of the book “Efficient Work in the Workshop.” “A workshop heater not only ensures the well-being of employees but also protects machines and tools from cold and moisture.”
Advantages of a Workshop Heater
The advantages of a workshop heater are obvious:
- Fast and efficient heating: Compared to other heating systems, workshop heaters warm the room air much faster.
- Flexible use: Thanks to their compact design, workshop heaters can be placed flexibly in the workshop and used in other locations if needed.
- Cost-effective: Workshop heaters are relatively inexpensive to purchase, and their energy consumption is also reasonable.
- Easy operation: Most workshop heaters are self-explanatory and easy to operate.
Different Types of Workshop Heaters
There are different types of workshop heaters suitable for use in a workshop:
- Electric Heaters: These models are particularly popular because they do not produce exhaust fumes and can therefore also be used in enclosed spaces.
- Gas Heaters: Gas heaters offer high heating power and are therefore ideal for large workshops.
- Infrared Heaters: These devices do not heat the air but directly heat objects and people in the room.
The right workshop heater for your needs depends on various factors, such as the size of the room, the required heating power, and individual requirements.
