There are significant differences between kerosene heaters and electric heaters in many aspects, mainly including the following aspects:
Kerosene heater: uses kerosene as an energy source and generates heat by burning kerosene.
Electric heater: Uses electrical energy to convert into heat energy, including many types.
Kerosene heater: releases thermal energy by burning kerosene, and uses the heat generated by combustion, flame radiation, convection, etc. to heat the surrounding air.
Electric heater: Depending on the specific type, the working principle is also different and needs to be confirmed based on the actual type.
Kerosene heater: The heating speed is usually fast and can quickly raise the indoor temperature, but it may produce a certain amount of smoke and odor, so you need to ensure that the room is well ventilated.
Electric heater: The heating effect varies by type, but most electric heaters can achieve faster heating speeds and more even indoor temperature distribution.
Kerosene heater: Using kerosene as fuel carries the risk of fire and explosion, so special attention needs to be paid to safety, such as maintaining indoor ventilation and avoiding fuel leakage.
Electric heaters: Although relatively safe, improper use may cause fires and other accidents. For example, using or covering a heater for an extended period of time can cause overheating, which could lead to a fire. Therefore, you also need to pay attention to the safe use of electricity when using electric heaters.
Kerosene heater: During the combustion process, if ventilation is not paid attention to, harmful gases and particulate matter may be produced.
Electric heaters: do not produce harmful gases and particulate matter, and the electricity can be produced from renewable energy sources, thus reducing the impact on the environment.
Kerosene heater: The cost of use mainly depends on the price and consumption of kerosene. When kerosene prices are low and supply is plentiful, its cost of use may be relatively low.
Electric heater: The cost of use depends on factors such as electricity prices, heater power, and usage time. When electricity prices are high or the heater has high power, its cost of use may be relatively high.
