space heaters
Plug-in room warmers
Space heaters are portable devices that warm a room or small area, as opposed to central heating systems that serve an entire building.
They typically run on electricity, propane, or kerosene: We plugged in a space heater to take the chill off the basement.
The term distinguishes localized, supplemental heating from built-in systems.
