Best Energy Efficient Heater in 2022 (Reviews and Comparison)

1. Dr Infrared Heater Portable Space Heater

With its cherry, delightful design, this electric heater is a great choice to keep you warm while also serving as a room decoration. It is able to heat up large rooms while also saving energy and money using its smart heating technology.

WHAT WE LIKE

This cute electric heater has an auto energy saving mode with a high and a low feature as well as tip-over protection and overheat protection. 

Furthermore, it has a remote which makes it easy to control, a dual-heating system, and a high-pressure low-noise blower making it very quiet. The thermostat has a large range from 50-85 degrees and has wheels so it can heat up any room in the house.

WHAT WE DONT LIKE

Unfortunately, this heater is the heaviest of the list weighing in at 19 pounds. However, that doesn’t make it a deal breaker – just heavy. In very few of the products, the outlets and cords have melted while the heater worked well regardless – it does have a three-year warranty, though.

Weighing in on the larger end of the heaters in this list at 24” tall, the De’Longhi Ceramic Tower Heater is quiet, provides instant warmth in medium to large rooms, and saves energy making it one of the top-of-the-line options.

WHAT WE LIKE

The heater offers personalized comfort with its digital controls, including an adjustable thermostat and multiple heat settings. It’s incredibly quiet with its silent system which cuts the sound emitted in half. Plus, it has a remote to control the heat from the couch nearby or from the other room. The best of all is that this heater in particular has an eco mode to save even more energy while keeping you warm.

WHAT WE DONT LIKE

In some houses, the heater will blow the circuit breaker while in others the heater stopped working after a few short months. The thermostat arrives sometimes inaccurate, but the heater will work just fine.

If you’re looking for a heater that heats differently, this is the right product. It heats the air by using vortex circulation technology without using intense heat. The heater, even on the lower setting, cuts the power in half (in comparison to most in-room thermostats) which saves money.

WHAT WE LIKE

It heats differently than most heaters its size by being a small-scale forced air furnace essentially. It has two heat settings – a low setting at 750 watts and a high at 1500 watts – which can help in not only energy consumption monitoring but also tailoring the heat to preference. 

The product has tip-over protection, cool–to-the-touch casing to avoid burning your hands, and an automatic shut-off system. It also has hidden cord storage for organization and efficiency. The company also insists on a 5-year hassle-free return policy along with a stellar customer support team.

WHAT WE DONT LIKE

This heater has a tendency to quit working effectively after a few months and in a few cases has actually melted down the back plastic off the fan causing a huge heating hazard.

This oil-filled radiator is best for medium to large rooms and is able to help maintain the room at a constant temperature. The heater has technology that helps prevent overheating and a safety tip-over switch built-in for safety. Made from flame-resistant material, this energy efficient heater might be just the one for you!

WHAT WE LIKE

This heater is safer than most and definitely safer than an open flame fire as the flame-resistant material is provided for all of the plastic parts. 

The constant-temperature conduction oil technology helps the room temperature stay stagnant with the heat transfer effects and the high fluidity technology. This heater is portable with 4-swivel caster wheels and has multiple settings (three heating modes (Hi/Lo/Eco) and five temperature settings (65F-85F)) to ensure each user has their preference. With an LED display, digital thermostat, remote control for distant use, and a 10-hour timer, this heater is perfect for many situations.

WHAT WE DONT LIKE

The thermostat can be faulty and tell inaccurate temperatures or stop working completely after some use. The oil can leak which can cause a dangerous, very flammable situation.

Working at your desk at night and/or in the winter can be a very cold operation – especially if you have to wear formal clothing which isn’t the warmest. Luckily, this quiet mini desk heater can save the day with its fire-safe technology and tiny, out-of-the-way  design.

WHAT WE LIKE

This heater is quiet so it won’t bother you while you work and it’s designed with a safe ceramic element interior and cool-touch exterior so you don’t burn yourself moving it and it doesn’t catch on fire internally. It has a carry handle and is very safe for pets and kids with a tip-over technology that automatically shuts it off if it falls over.

WHAT WE DONT LIKE

This heater is bright orange and doesn’t come in more color which can make it look obnoxious or not blend in well with the other room decor. Furthermore, since it’s a convection heater, it requires an electric plug in which, around a desk with computers and other charging equipment, might not have an available plug or might cause damage to the electronics/chargers due to its high electricity (although the low wattage does indicate the heater won’t override the circuit).
