Different parts of Bangladesh are grasped by cold waves in the winter season. Usually, the temperature stays low from December to February.

Meteorologists fears that this isn’t the worst of it and that the country might face several more cold waves this season. In this situation, a room heater can keep the home warm and give comfort. Let’s take a look at the room heater buyer guide under different price ranges in Bangladesh. What to Consider While Buying a Room Heater?  There are several aspects to consider while buying a room heater. If you buy a heater just based on the looks, it will only be a room ornament. Here’s what you need to look for first in a room heater.  Heating Ability  The first thing to check for is the heating ability. The heating capacity of any heater depends on its size and the wattage it can deliver. But it also depends on the size of the space or room you’re trying to heat. The heater should be proportionate with the size of the space. Now there’s a complex mathematical algorithm to determine the exact wattage needed to heat a certain space. But we won’t get to those complicacies. As a rule of thumb, understand that you need a 10-watt heating per square space of floor area.  Read More: Top 8 Flagship Smartphones Launched in 2022 Heater Types  In addition to the wattage, you also need to consider the types of heater. Three types of heaters are used most commonly. These are –  Convection Heaters  These heaters work by the principle of convection. If you want to heat the entire space, these are your best bets. But the downside is that it takes considerably longer to heat with convection heaters.  Radiant Heaters  If you want quick heating then radiant heaters should be your go-to choice. Instead of going for the entire space, radiant heaters isolate a single point and get to work.  Fan-Forced Heaters  These heaters work with the principle of an air cooler. An internal heating mechanism produces hot air, which is then propagated using the fan. These are a great option if you want a surrounding heating that disperses on the space slowly.  Read More: Xiaomi Redmi Pad Review: Budget Tablet Worth Consideration Efficiency  This point is somewhat tied to the first point. When choosing a room heater, many people make the mistake of going overboard. That is to say that they buy a heater much larger than their required space. This creates two problems, you’re making the room heater a primary source of heating which it isn’t. And you’re also driving up your electricity bills. Make sure to buy an efficient heater. It’ll save you money on the purchase as well as the bills.  Safety Features  Make sure to go over the safety manuals before or after purchasing a room heater. Most heaters, especially radiant and convection heaters tend to get very hot on the surface. Although most models come with an added protective grill, it's still better to go over the dos and don’t when the heater is at work.  Noise Level  Room heaters are, after all, electrical appliances. So it's pretty normal they would make noise. If you want a completely serene and quiet experience, you should go for the radiant or convection heater as fan-forced heaters make considerable noise.  Read More: Tecno Phantom X2 Pro Review: Midrange Smartphone with Retractable Camera Best Room Heaters at Different Price Points in Bangladesh  Room heaters are available in all shapes and sizes with several different features built into them.
