The Ultimate Guide to Space Heaters, Air Conditioners & Purifiers

The single major disadvantage of diesel heaters is, in my opinion, that they contain too many different parts: When your diesel heater is not getting hot / not blowing hot air, the issue can be practically anywhere. It can be the fuel pump, electronic controls, the car battery, the atomizer, the combustion chamber, anything. This makes them relatively hard to troubleshoot. However, it’s not as hard as you think. When diesel heaters stop working, it’s usually just a bunch of common problems you need to check. ...

Have a look at the vast amount of different diesel and propane heaters you can buy. It’s insane. And if you’re someone who has never used either of them, you’re probably wondering what’s even different. Of course, as their names suggest, diesel heaters use diesel, and propane heaters use propane. That’s obvious. But the technical implications following the fuel choice are significant. In this article, we’re going to have a look at the differences between diesel and propane heaters and which of both, in my opinion, is the better heater. ...

Some space heaters are made specifically for families with children. However, most of these “child-safe space heaters” are actually regular space heaters that are designed to look child-safe. But inherently, there’s nothing that makes them safer than space heaters for adults. I really dislike the marketing scheme here. Just designing a dangerous device to look safe doesn’t make it safe. Especially not for children. In this article, we’ll have a look at space heaters that are very safe for children, regardless of whether they are designed to look like baby / child products, or not. ...

I’ve been writing articles for this website for over 4 years now, spending hours and hours explaining space heaters and how to use them effectively. All the while resting both feet against a hot water bottle lying on the floor, under my desk. And one thought just popped up in my mind: Am I a hypocrite? I’ve spent so much time & effort writing about heaters and telling people which products to buy. All this, of course, earns me some money as well, when people buy from my recommendations. ...

I’ve spent countless nights in my car. This article is all about the best car camping heaters, found in years of trial and error. One thing I learned is: You can make any night comfortable & warm with the right preparation, even without much special gear. Or … to be honest … almost any night. Some nights are just doomed to be freezing cold. And for those freezing cold nights, all you think about is “why didn’t I bring a heater?”. ...

Hi all. First off, I want to say, I am absolutely no van expert since I don’t possess one myself. But I spent several nights in really cold environments, sleeping in an unheated car, sleeping outside on a freezing parking lot in mid-winter in the alps, and I even spent nights off-grid above 15,000 feet in the Himalayas. So, even though I don’t drive a van around myself, I experienced quite a few nights in the freezing cold. And since I’ve been writing about heaters on this website for over 4 years now, it’s time to devote an article to the van community. ...
