Quartz Heater Vs. Electric

Quartz

• The quartz heater is considered a radiant heater. It warms an area by radiating the heat it creates through quartz tubing. This heater is designed to heat a targeted area or small room.
  
  

Electric

• The electric heater is considered a convection heater. This heater works in cycles to provide continual heating. Air is pushed through or pulled through the heater creating a constant air flow. Electric central heating and air systems use this type of heating.
  
  

Energy Efficiency

• Electric heaters are used to heat either small spaces or entire structures. Quartz heaters are used to heat specific areas of a structure. Depending on your needs, a quartz heater can be more efficient if heat is needed in a smaller area.
