Diesel Heater Not Getting Hot (12 Fixes)

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. ...

4 Best Child-Safe Heaters

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. ...

Space Heater or Hot Water Bottle? (9 Differences)

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. ...

How to Heat a Van in Winter

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. ...
