electric ceiling heaters
65The invention of electric ceiling heaters was probably not far behind the lightbulb, as there have all types of consumer and commercial electric heaters all along, but they have advanced to the point of perfection in the twenty or so years. When an architect or home designer is drawing up the blues prints to a home, they do not include a spot here or there for ceiling heaters of any type. These are after thought type additions that fill a void, or an area that was overlooked in the planning and construction of homes, commercial buildings, and even recreational vehicles or large boats.
One spot that homes prior the 1990s will not likely have heat pumped into it for many reasons is a large walk in kitchen pantry. Anyone with an ounce of sense would know that having heat continually pumped into this room could ruin food that is being stored. It would actually cook the food partially, and then it would start rotting, and turning into mold. But for those times when you have to spend say ten to twenty minutes in the pantry organizing, it would make it more comfortable to have a ceiling heater in there to knock the chill out of the air.
Extremely old home that are located in the northern United Stated will have what are called mudrooms, and they usually do not have any type of heating. This would be an excellent spot for electric ceiling heaters to be used, as these rooms are usually converted porches that never have had any ducting run into the room for heating. The heater would also help speed up the drying process of shoes, winters casts, hats, and gloves after they have been removed.
Some homeowners convert old sheds into their version of a home office these backyard structures usually will have little in the way of modern conveniences except electricity run to them from the main house. Deploying a window unit air conditioner for the summer months and a ceiling heater with a combination lighting fixture would be a perfect solution for hot and cold weather conditions, and the cost would be minimal compared in trying to set up a central air system for such a small area. A solution for the both should run less than a thousand dollars for four square feet or less.
Even larger work shops that are built in backyards where hobbyists hand build fine furniture, or restore antique automobiles, a ceiling heater is perfect as it is out of the way, and will not create a fire hazard as most of the shops will have raw resources, and chemicals laying around that could combust quite easily. Similar structures that are also built in backyards but are called mother in law suites are great candidates for these type of heating appliances.
The most used area for a ceiling heating solution will always be a bathroom, it almost seems that these devices were originally designed just to be installed above toilets in older homes, and old gas station restrooms. Typically, the old structures have little to no insulation, and do not have any supplied heat to the room itself. A ceiling heater is the most logical form of warming up these small spaces, will do so quit economically.
