Paraffin heaters (kerosene heaters in the US, South Africa and Australia) are an incredibly popular product which have been in wide-spread use all over the world since the nineteenth century.
Compact And Reliable
Their small size, the cheapness of the fuel (paraffin oil), and their portability mean that they are relied upon by home owners and gardeners alike as a space heater and back-up heating and cooking device. Since they are compact and robust when compared to other heating devices they can often be used when working in cold buildings such as sheds, and can be quickly and easily stored away when not being used.
Safe
If you are trying to find a solution for your space heating problem, paraffin heaters could just be the choice for you – technological advances have improved the safety devices incorporated within the heater, making them safer and cleaner than ever for use within the home.
Efficient
Though as with all similar heating devices there is a safety risk, new technology has seen this risk much reduced, in addition making these heaters much more efficient and therefore cost-effective. In the present climate of high energy costs this is an important consideration.
