2. Radiator (heating) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiator_(heating)

   Baseboard convectors are designed to heat the air in the room using convection to transfer heat from the radiators to the surrounding air. [4] They do this by drawing cool air in at the bottom, warming the air as it passes over the radiator fins, and discharging the heated air at the top. This sets up convective loops of air movement within a room.

3. Space heater - Wikipedia

   Oil heaters transfer heat by convection and radiation. [4] They can silently heat larger rooms, but take longer to heat up. Like infrared models, they lack a fan, but circulate heat according to a room's air patterns, which is why it may take longer for a user to discern a difference in temperature.

4. Central heating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_heating

   Electric heating or resistance heating converts electricity directly to heat. Electric heat is often more expensive than heat produced by combustion appliances like natural gas, propane, and oil. Electric resistance heat can be provided by baseboard heaters, space heaters, radiant heaters, furnaces, wall heaters, or thermal storage systems.

   They are also ideal for basements and garages where spot heating is desired. More generally, they are an excellent choice for task-specific heating. Radiant heaters operate silently and present the greatest potential danger of ignition of nearby furnishings due to the focused intensity of their output and lack of overheat protection.

   Heaters exist for various types of fuel, including solid fuels, liquids, and gases. Another type of heat source is electricity, normally heating ribbons composed of high resistance wire (see Nichrome). This principle is also used for baseboard heaters and portable heaters. Electrical heaters are often used as backup or supplemental heat for ...
