Winter is here, and you’ve probably never spent this much time in your home office before. What felt comfortable in your space during the summer and fall might not be enough for this new season. If your office (or home office) is feeling a little drafty, or you’re the type of person who just likes to be extra cozy, then you could benefit from bringing a portable space heater into your workspace.
When you’re shopping for a space heater for your office, the heater’s size is one of the most important things to keep in mind.While keeping it small is always a good idea for the sake of minimalism, small does still have a range. Some space heaters are small enough to perch on your desk along with your laptop. These heaters are the perfect way to heat your immediate, personal space, and are a great solution if your home office is the desk in your bedroom.
If you have a full room to heat, then you’ll want to go a size or two up from “mini” heaters. These models typically have the ability to stand upright in the corner of the room and emit enough heat to warm the space. Or, if you prefer, you can stick the heater underneath your desk to heat your feet.
Another essential point is safety. The best desk heaters are made with flame-retardant materials, and also have automated systems built in that let the heater power off if it’s overheated. Even better, some heaters automatically turn off if they are tipped over. Some even automatically power off after six hours, regardless if it has overheated, for extra precaution.
No matter which model you select, these heaters will help make your work-from-home setup as comfortable as it cozy.
