A convection heater is a type of heating device that warms up a room by circulating air. It works by drawing in cool air, heating it through a heating element, and then releasing the warm air back into the room. This process creates a continuous flow of warm air, making it effective for heating larger spaces. These heaters can be powered by electricity or gas and are often portable, allowing for easy movement from one room to another. Common types of convection heaters include baseboard heaters, fan-forced heaters, and oil-filled radiators, each designed to provide efficient and comfortable heating.
