The Pelonis Heater
Pelonis technologies started producing Pelonis heaters in the 1980s. The original Pelonis heater was the Pelonis ceramic disc furnace, which worked wonders at keeping homes warm and safe.
Since then, Pelonis has evolved to offering a wide variety of portable electric heaters. With a passion for safe heat, they have introduced several models based on the original Pelonis ceramic heater, and a wide array of Pelonis oil filled heaters.
Most Pelonis heaters are relatively small, but put out a great amount of heat. The price of a Pelonis heater is generally very low and affordable to any family. Afforability was a major concern when Pelonis started making their efficient heaters. You can find Pelonis heaters ranging in price from $12 and on up to near $200 for their top of the line disc heaters.
Pelonis technologies is not just about heaters though, they also offer air conditioning units and humidifiers, making them a well rounded company when it comes to home improvement. While the Pelonis heater remains their claim to fame, we will stick to the heaters as the objective of this site. We will take a closer look at just a few of the more popular models of the Pelonis heater here:
The Pelonis Ceramic Heater:
The Pelonis HC 461 is one of the more popular when it comes to Pelonis heaters. This ceramic heater is rugged and can be used to heat just about any area, however, this heater is not a beautiful piece of furniture. In fact, this Pelonis heater will not look very good as a centerpiece for your living room or bedroom, but is very effective at heating. While the price remains in the one hundred twenty dollar zone, this is not a cheap heater, but does come with a 3-year warranty.
The Pelonis NTK15 Safe-T-Furnace Ceramic Heater is a great option for heating a small space like a bathroom or office. This is your traditional coil heater with a fan and is very affordable at around $33.

Pelonis Oil Filled Heaters:
Pelonis oil filled heaters operate a little differently than ceramic heaters. They incorporate an oil filled radiator that heats up slowly and keeps diffusing an even heat throughout the room. Oil filled heaters generally take 10-20 minutes to heat up and start spreading any heat throughout a room, so these are not the best option for instant heat, but they keep a nice warm heat while they are on, and even for awhile after shutting them off.
One of the major disadvantages to using oil filled heaters is that the outside surfaces do get warm, in fact, they get hot! This is not the product to use if you have curious children who may touch this heater and burn themselves, but is perfect for a home with no children or pets. Many consumers use this style of Pelonis heater in their workshop or garage for a nice even temperature throughout the day. Oil filled heaters are completely silent, so they are great for a room with the television, as they will not necessitate turning up the volume on the TV.
The Pelonis HO-0221 Oil Filled Heater does a nice job of keeping a larger room warm. You can safely assume that this Pelonis heater will furnish enough heat for a 500 square foot room without gaps in heat. Simple controls on the front of this heater ensure easy operation and heat control. With a purchase price of around $60 this Pelonis heater is affordable for the masses.
