electric heater

Corded warming appliance

An electric heater is a device that converts electrical energy into heat to warm a space or object.

Unlike furnaces or boilers, electric heaters require no fuel combustion or ventilation—just an outlet.

Common types include space heaters, baseboard heaters, and radiant heaters: We plugged in the electric heater to warm the bedroom.
