Types of Electric Space Heaters & Heaters

Resistive Electric Heaters

Technical notes: Resistive electric heaters convert electrical energy to heat using metal or ceramic elements. These elements are made from heat-resistant materials to ensure durability and stable performance. Resistive heaters come in various designs and power ratings.
Application: Suitable for small to medium spaces. Thanks to simple design and easy installation, they are convenient for homes and offices.
Clearance tips: Ensure technical specs comply with national and international standards. The HS Code generally falls under 8516. Safety standards and relevant approvals are mandatory.

Fan Heaters (Electric)

Technical notes: In addition to heating elements, these heaters have an internal fan that distributes warm air evenly throughout the space, improving efficiency and heat distribution.
Application: Suitable for larger areas and commercial spaces, delivering faster and more effective heating in wide environments.
Clearance tips: Carefully review technical and safety specifications; some models may require specific approvals from standards organizations. HS Code generally under 8516.

Radiant (Infrared) Heaters

Technical notes: Radiant heaters use infrared radiation to transfer heat directly to objects and people, creating a warm and comfortable environment.
Application: Ideal for outdoor spaces such as yards and balconies or any area needing quick, direct heating.
Clearance tips: Verify compliance with safety standards and radiant performance. Specific permits from relevant authorities may be required.

Oil-Filled Radiators

Technical notes: Oil-filled radiators use oil as a thermal medium. The oil heats inside the unit and evenly transfers heat to the environment, offering steady, long-lasting performance due to high heat retention.
Application: Suitable for larger spaces and prolonged operation; performs well in colder environments.
Clearance tips: Pay special attention to safety standards and environmental regulations. HS Code generally under 8516. Ensure full compliance with safety and standards requirements.

Gas Heaters

Technical notes: Gas heaters are designed to use natural gas or LPG. Some models include electric features, operating as multi-purpose heating systems.
Application: Especially useful where electricity access is limited and for large spaces requiring fast heating.
Clearance tips: Gas heaters may require permits from authorities such as the Institute of Standards & Industrial Research of Iran (ISIRI). Ensure compliance with gas safety and regulations.
