Heaters are technology. It's cold as fuck outside but this little radiator keeps my virgin cave nice and toasty.

Pros:
Easy to move around
Doesn't make a sound
Low power
Doesn't fuck with my allergies or dry out the air like the central heating does
Programmable thermostat and timer

Cons:
Takes a while to warm up the room
Not good for large spaces

What m8? It takes just the amount of power it needs..

Personally I'm rolling with double windows and wall (water) heaters.
>>
>>57928075
Oil heaters are great, but they do require a lot of power while heating up, i have one thats about 1500 or 2000w. Though their best aspect is the fact they retain the heat for a long time, so only need to periodically turn on after the initial heat up.
>>
>>57928075
Is use a De'Longhi Oil Filled V550715, 1.5 KW. A little expensive but built like a tank and better than my brothers 30gbp off brand heater.

My room is only small so the lowest power setting (700w) is plenty.
>>
>>57928075
Those little oil filled radiators are great. They stay warm for a long time even after you turn them off. I have a little ceramic space heater but it's not strong enough for my room when it gets really cold. Windows are too drafty.

This horrible piece of shit that barely warms up like a 1m radius by a couple of degrees. I need to get a better one.

We have good central heating but when it was originally installed the morons put the thermostat in a drafty hallway with no heating vents, so we can't run the heat at night because even if you set it to like 68 it'll just keep running full blast all night and make the bedrooms unbearably hot.

It's doubly shitty for me because I live in a separate apartment behind the house, but my HVAC is on the same circuit as the "main" house, so I have to go outside and back in if I want to turn the heat on and off. On top of that my room is right next to the furnace so I get really hot air and it gets up to like 90 degrees in here when the heat is on full blast, or down into the 50s when the AC is on.

My thermostat doesn't have a timer, it's a basic bitch one like this.

>Doesn't make a sound
Except if it's a cheap chink one made of comparatively thin metal. It has low thermal inertia, meaning that it wil heat up relatively quickly but also lose heat quickly once the oil inside cools down, making cracking/popping noises as it does so (the metal stretching and contracting too much too quickly).
>>
>>57928143
>They stay warm for a long time even after you turn them off.

A cheap chink one has thin metal and shit oil inside, meaning that it'll be completely cold in 20-30 minutes after it's powered off. That's also why it needs to reheat constantly even if in lower power setting. Not to mention the popping noises >>57928544 was talking about.

Huh, ok. The problem in my area is so-called "low emission" (yea it sound retarded, like "if the emission is low then wtf is the problem"), the thing being that "low" means that the smoke/fumes are released into the air at a relatively low altitude as compared to tall chimneys in industrial plants etc. The air can get sucky in the cold season due to poorfags burning any kind of garbage to generate heat.

>not using your computers as heaters
Most energy you pump into silicon is released as heat, with the added bonus of doing computation on the side. If your heater doesn't do computation but produces heat, you're wasting a great deal of energy for only a small benefit.

Replace your heaters with data furnaces.

I don't know. It's Japanese.

>>
>>57929559
A computer costs more than a heater to produce the same amount of power.

Unless I am getting something worth that extra money (which I won't be) then there is no point.
Also you generally have to run at high loads to get the level of power consumption, and heat output, to equal your heaters, or buy more computers running at lower loads, which is more cost that you're not getting anything worthwhile other than heat from.

It just isn't cost effective. Use what you have, for sure, but buying computers/components for heating purposes is just retarded.

This might be a stupid question but how can one heater be more 'efficient' than another when all energy is being converted to heat
>>
>>57929706
Some energy can get converted to kinetic energy, sound and light.
Get one with no moving parts, quiet and the heater element shouldn't glow.
Though, the benefits should be minimal.

>>57929706
Whatever you're burning, you're not burning all of it. Have you ever seen the logs in a campfire just evaporate? Same happens on a lesser degree to oil and gas.

So yeah, the more you burn of it, the more efficient it is.

Also the pipes and insulation help. You want to heat your house, not the air outside of your house after all.
>>
>>57929706
Basically any non-moving heater is pretty much 100% efficient in a practical sense. So when you chose heater, you design, noise level, termostat and other functions is what matters.

of course it is, that's why they are pretty common. companies exists only for one reason - generate profit. why would companies invest large sums to build large heat generators if fleet on smaller ones would be better?

again company I work for has one main heating plant that generates heating for all production buildings, technology and administrative buildings. all the hot water is distributed by isolated pipes above ground. not tell me, why would they spent so much money for one massive heat generator instead of a small one in each building?

They are, but since the trash still needs to be burned you might as well use it to produce heat. A win-win.
