So, they must rely on other methods such as radiation or convection to transfer energy to their surroundings. How large is the space you wish to heat with a ceramic heater? Be sure to choose a model that’s sized appropriately. Obviously, larger rooms will require higher heat output, but there are other factors to consider as well. If your home is drafty, for example, you may need a more powerful ceramic heater to combat the cold air seeping in.

Of course, the unit will also allow you to adjust the thermostat, choosing a more specific temperature. Ceramic heaters last for a long time.
