Cayenne 49682: Interesting for its low price but beware of after-sales service. This ceramic core heater works with an electronic thermostat adjustable from 13 to 30 ° C. Its power of 1000 W is suitable for small rooms of 10 to 15 m². Despite a fairly high online popularity, the sometimes very negative feedback from users regarding the quality of the after-sales service and its large price fluctuations have led us to exclude it from our main selection.

How To Choose The Best Dry Inertia Radiator?

Electric heating is not the most popular means of heating because of the costs associated with its energy consumption. However, its ease of installation makes it a solution of choice for some.

First of all, you should know that there are several types of electric heaters:

  • Inertia Radiator: Economical and comfortable, its principle is to store energy, either in a heat transfer liquid for models with fluid inertia (among which we find the oil filled radiators), or in a solid material (ceramic, cast iron, aluminum, etc.) for models with dry inertia. This is then diffused in a constant, uniform and gradual manner, even after switching off the device.
  • Convection Heater: It heats the ambient air thanks to an electric resistance. The principle of convection wants the room to heat up thanks to the upward circulation (upwards) of this hot air. Its variant is fan heater, whose blower system diffuses the heat created by the resistance more quickly. On the other hand, the heat disappears just as quickly as it had appeared.

This distinction made, here are the criteria you should pay attention to to make the choice that best suits your needs.

  • Power: As with any heating system, it takes around 100 W per m², and a little more if your ceilings are high. You must also take into account the winter outside temperatures in your region and the quality of insulation in your home.
  • Thermostat: It can be mechanical (with a dial) or electronic (with a screen). The more precise it is, the better you can control the heat in the room and the consumption of your appliance.
  • Functionalities: A programmer and / or a timer are useful for optimizing the operation of the appliance and limiting overconsumption. Some radiators can detect the presence of an open window, but also the absence of movement in the room, and adapt their operation. More recently, there are even connected models on the market.
  • Security: Child safety is a classic of this type of equipment, since it guarantees that curious little hands cannot come and modify the settings and risk overheating. The frost protection function is useful in the event of prolonged absence, in order to avoid any drop in temperature too low. Finally, if you plan to use it in a damp room, check that it has the IP24 certification which protects it against splashes.
