Even when there is centrally located heating system in a home sometimes there is need of another heat source for the colder nights of the year. This could be for a child or elderly persons room. This is the perfect time for a propane wall heater. They are small but can put out a nice radiant heat that will keep the room a little warmer than the rest of the house.

There are varieties that can be hung onto hooks or screws from a wall. This is perfect for a childs room to keep it out of their reach. There are those with built in thermostats that can be set and will also give a read out for the current temp in the room. They are built with oxygen depletion sensors that alert you when there needs to be more ventilation. This is a great safety feature because they are not vented.

These have a built in blower that sends the heat out into the room. They can average from a five hundred square foot range to approximately seven hundred. This is more than an average bedroom. The blower allows for the person or persons occupying the room to be comfortable both in front of the heater and on the other side of the room as well.

There are those that come with a cord to be plugged into a standard household outlet. This electricity operates the blower. This is nice for ones that will be used in many different places in the home. In these the igniter is in place so there are no matches necessary.

In the designs with a pilot light an additional safety design has been built in. When the pilot light goes out for any reason, the gas automatically shuts off so there is no leak that will hurt or kill the members of your family.

All the options of propane wall heaters are great for a number of applications. They are both useful and compact so there is no need for a large area to store and they are perfect for power outages so nobody has to stay cold.
