Best Space Heaters For Large Rooms

If you have a large room that is always a bit too cold then you can save a lot of money by not cranking the thermostat up any further but by adding a large room space heater instead.

For warming a large room with a space heater you need to stay away from radiant heat. Convection heating with a fan blower is best.

Below I've hand-selected some of the best whole room space heaters available today. However, if you are looking for something more permanent then I suggest seeing this page for top selling electric fireplaces instead.

For heating a whole room or a large enclosed space by far the best space heater to use is an oil filled convection radiator. Despite the name these radiator-style convection heaters warm the air around them causing the air to rise and cold air near the ceiling to fall. When you leave them to work for a while the entire room eventually fills with warm air with no cold spots or hot spots. These are extremely energy efficient and require little to no maintenance. They also cost far less than larger electric fireplaces making them attractive choices for those on a tighter budget. Each heater below should be great for large room heating.

If the above radiator style heaters just don't look good enough for you another great alternative is to buy an electric fireplace. These are far more attractive units and they can usually double as a functioning piece of furniture such as a decorative table or shelf. They typically run on electricity and they operate efficiently enough to heat larger rooms but they do cost more. Some budget models are priced in the $100-$200 range but you can also find some very fancy models as high as $1000 without breaking a sweat. Below I've featured three lower cost Dimplex models that all have nearly flawless customer reviews.

Generally speaking a heater fan is not going to fully warm a room up as well as a large convection heater but some people prefer heater fans that blow warm air more than radiators that leech warm air in the room. If you want the former then these are a couple viable options for some larger rooms - just don't expect them to perform as well as the oil-filled heaters featured above.
