How a electric heater works 2 references?
An electric heater is a resistor that dissipates electric power when a voltage is connected across it and a current flows through it. The amount of power in watts is equal to the voltage times the current in amps. Typical space heaters for use in the home are 1.5 kW to 3 kW to heat a single room.
An electric space heater requires 29 A of 120 V current to adequately warm a room What is the power rating of the heater?
It would be P=VI, so 29A*120V=3480Watts
Where might one purchase an electric space heater?
You can purchase an electric space heater at most hardware stores, and many big name stores. Walmart, Sears, Meijer, are great places to start looking.
Does a hissing sound coming from the wall where a space heater is plugged in indicate a problem with the wiring or cause a fire?
It might. Does the sound follow the space heater to a different outlet? If you place your head between the space heater and the outlet, does the hissing sound come from the wall, or from the heater? Sometimes different sounds come from different sides of applicances, and these sounds can reflect off the wall. A standard vacuum cleaner and some electric irons draw about the same current as a space heater. Is the sound present with either of those plugged into the same outlet instead? It might be a snake, saying "thank you" for the warmth.
How To Reduce Your Average Monthly Electric Bill?
A space heater may seem like a good way to save money on gas if you do not want to have the heat up as high in your house, but you will need to see how it impacts your electricity bill. Many times these are the things that drive electric bills up to surprising levels. They use a lot of power to create all of that heat. If you want to reduce your average monthly electric bill, you will need to find out how much you are saving on gas. If it is less than you are spending in electricity, turn the heater off.

Do electric heater fireplaces work well, or are they just for looks?
They work about as well as a space heater.
Are oil space heaters better than electric heaters?
An oil filled electric space heater produces a more "even" heating without the hotspots that standard electric space heaters can produce. Also it is not possible for something poked into the oil filled electric space heater to touch the electrical heating element wires as is possible in standard electric space heaters (which would shock you).
The heat from an electric space heater is transferred to you by?
all objects emit electromagnetic radiation through empty space, as well as matter. So feel the heat from the electric heater due to radiation.

Do they make energy efficient electric space heaters?
the New Solar Comfort Metal Infrared Electric Space Heater by Sun Cloud is supposed to be effiecient.
Describe two methods of space heating?
Electric base board heater and gas furnace.
What type of oil is used in a oil filled electric heater specifically a portable Delonghi space heater?
They don't say specifically, but my guess is that they use a mineral oil is because it is cheap and non-toxic. There are also many synthetic diathermic heat transfer fluids that have better performance, but these are more expensive. Glycols are also used in some moderate temperature applications such as radiant heating systems in floors and walls, but I doubt they are used in something as hot as a space heater (the total power dissipated by a space heater may be less than a house radiant heating system, but the peak temperature of a space heater's internal electric heating wire is higher).
What is the best energy efficient space heater?
We do not have a need for a space heater so I have not used one in the past. I would not use kerosene but I would use electric if necessary. Dyson has one that is pretty cool looking.
What is the main source of power for the international space station?
Electric power get from sun cell
What is the Maximum efficiency machine?
The electric space heater. It's the only common machine that's 100% efficient.
