Panel Space heaters are sleek, stylish, and normally feature-rich. Modern models come with thermostats, power saving auto-off switches, and even timers. These shouldn't be the only features you settle on, however, especially with the wide range of options available. Here are a few other features to consider when purchasing your next heater:
Wheels + Handles - Mobility makes heating far more customizable and useful. Instead of having a single, stationary panel heater than can be potentially limited in use, having wheels and cool-to-the-touch handles means you can apply heat wherever and whenever you need to.
Fall protection switch - If you have children or rowdy pets and are unable to make a perfectly secure installment of a stationary heater, then purchasing a heater that automatically shuts off if it falls can save you from very unhappy accidents. A fallen heater can waste energy and even run the risk of burning something - not to mention children or pets.
Burn protection/Cool-to-the-touch - This feature is especially important in stationary setups, since visitors or children may not be very conscious of your heater. Being cool-to-the-touch means you'll pretty much never run the risk of an accidental burn.
