Buying a micathermic heater is a great way to save space while simultaneously making you feel warmer, faster. Micathermic heaters utilize a higher ratio of convection heating over reflective heating, which means they can warm a space far more quickly than traditional oil heaters.

Shape and Size: In this case, size does matter, at least when it comes to the shape of the micathermic radiator heater. Many micathermic heaters are sold as flat panels. Larger wattage heaters tend to have a larger surface area. An approximately 600 square inch surface area is ideal for heating most rooms rapidly and effectively. On occasion, however, micathermic heaters can also be sold in a tower shape, making their surface area slightly more difficult to calculate. The surface area should be in the same ballpark as a flat panel to be truly effective.
Wall Mounted: Many Micathermic space heaters can be wall-mounted, which makes them particularly ideal for small spaces. If you are attempting to heat a very space compromised room, make sure to clarify that the heater is wall-mounted, as opposed to a flat panel that is freestanding, or a tower shaped heater that will take up more space. Before purchasing, make sure that the heater will not exceed the size constraints of your room.
Wattage: Some micathermic heaters have one setting, usually around 1500 watts. Others have a lower and higher setting, which can range from 700 watts to a high setting of 1,500. Generally, micathermic heaters that offer an option between a lower and higher setting are more expensive than models that simply have one default setting.
Timers and Low Temperature Control: Always make sure that your micathermic heater comes with a timer and a temperature control setting. Both of these features will save you an enormous amount of money by allowing you to program what rooms of your home or office receive heat during what hours. This is a wonderful way to keep your bedroom warm when you are sleeping, without wasting money on heat when are you not there to appreciate it.
Remote Control Option: Some micathermic heaters have a remote control option, which allows you to adjust the settings from afar. For small rooms, this is probably a needless perk.
