Heaters to keep you warm this winter As winter nears, we feel the cool breeze of the Himalayas getting extra icy and making us all cold and shivery. Winters are getting quite cold nowadays due to climatic changes. And as we prep ourselves by stuffing our wardrobe with woolen clothes and taking out the huge warm blankets, it is essential to keep our home and our surrounding warm as well. Heaters are the best option for countries like Nepal where the central heating system is not the best option to pass the few months of winter. Let's get to know the heaters available in Nepal that will help you get along with the cold icy winters.

Radiant Electric Heaters

Radiant Electric Heaters are commonly used in several households in Nepal. They come in different shapes and sizes. These convert the electric energy into heat energy. As you turn on the heater, the infrared bars or electrodes as a heating element that turns red as electricity passes through the heater. They do not heat the air directly rather the infrared radiation travels through the air until it hits a heat-absorbing object. They do not warm up the entire room but only a spot or a part of the room. These are best for small, and cozy rooms.

Electric Convection Heaters

Electric convection heaters work slowly and less efficiently; however, the heat and warmth emitted last for a longer period of time in larger areas. They operate by air currents that flow throughout the heater body, across its heating element. It heats the air and fills warmth in the room. Moreover, the heated air heats the cold air present in the room as well. They are best if you can place or mount onto the walls. Make sure to choose the appropriate place to mount the unit as moving it can be really difficult or you may also buy a small portable convection heater as well.

Electric Fan Heaters

As you may have guessed from its name, electric fan heaters are a fan that throws warm air into the surrounding. These are similar to convection heaters but have one core difference i.e. they combine an electric element with a fan to blow warm air into the room. If you can't bear the krr.. noise of electronics, then this may not be the best option for you. However, they are best for a cozy and small space and can be easily moved to other places.

Oil heaters

Oil heaters also are known as oil-filled column heaters use electricity to heat the oil inside a sealed column. As the columns are heated, they transfer the heat into the rest of the room. Column heaters take a little longer to heat up but once the oil columns are heated, they work pretty efficiently. It is ideal for long-term heating.

Gas Heaters

Gas heaters are generally a little cheaper to run than electric heaters mentioned above. Gas heaters are also a lot more responsive and capable of heating large areas in just a few moments. The downside is that gas heaters are generally a little more expensive to purchase. They may also produce harmful waste gases such as carbon monoxide. It is best not to run the gas heaters in a closed room but in a well-ventilated room.

Geyser/ water heaters are simply the equipment which as the name suggests function to warm up the water in your kitchen or bathrooms. Buying geysers can be quite difficult if you know the things to consider and can be quite easy if you are unaware of the importance of some features and just go after its looks. From energy consumption to space and location you choose for the geyser, every detail must be meticulously examined. Here, we present to you 9 important things one should keep in mind while buying a geyser/water heater.

Price

While buying a geyser one should not go for a device out of their budget. One should see geyser that fits them economically. As there are different kinds of geysers, you can find the best geyser with the functions that you are searching for within your budget.

Space and location

The wall or floor space should be considered while buying a geyser or a water heater. The spot to be designated must have easy connectivity to the input and outlet faucets. And, it should be easily accessible for maintenance and repairs. Moreover, make sure that the place where you keep the geyser is properly ventilated in order to avoid any kind of risk such as suffocation while using the geyser.

Size of the geyser

A geyser once bought will be used by the entire family. So, keep the size of your family and the number of people who’ll use the geyser while buying one. An oversized geyser means heating of extra water that is not required if you have a family of 3. So, choose the size of the geyser according to the necessity in the family and save electricity.

Longevity and parts availability

Buy a geyser that has a longer life and has easily available replaceable parts. Though your budget should also be considered while looking out for a durable geyser, don’t hesitate to add a few hundreds or thousands of rupees to buy the geyser that lasts relatively for a longer period. For example, a tank-less water heater’s life is of about 20 years while that of tank-type is 10 to 12 years.

Warranty

Besides the warranty of the geyser itself, don’t forget to check the warranty of the heating element and the tank while buying a geyser. Also, keep the warranty card safe.

Brand

Besides the features of a geyser, you should look after other services like after-sale service and warranties. Not every brand provides such services and not every brand is trustworthy; so, purchase a geyser from brands that are trustworthy like Bajaj, Racold, etc.

Looks

If you are a person who loves decorating their house and is a bit picky, then buy a geyser that suits your bathroom decor, style, and size. Also, A MAJOR REMINDER, don’t forget to check out the important features while going after a beautiful geyser.

Type

Basically, there are two types of geysers depending on their size, convenience, and uses. They are instant geysers and storage geysers. Instant geysers are small and occupy less wall-mounting space, also they are suitable for washing kitchen utensils, hand wash, and bathing using a bucket. Storage geysers are big and occupy more wall-mounting space; these geysers are suitable for bathing using buckets as well as using a shower. Storage geysers are cost-friendly as compared to Instant geysers. However, the instant geysers last longer than storage geysers. 

Energy consumption

A 5 star rated geyser consumes less electricity for heating water as well as has much less heat loss. Install energy-efficient star rated geyser and reduce your monthly electricity bills. Higher star-rated geysers are a little expensive to buy in the first place but they save a lot of money over a longer time period.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF VACUUM CLEANERS AND THEIR FUNCTIONS

Air Purifiers, as the name suggests, remove harmful dust, volatile organic compounds, dander, mold spores, smoke, dust mites, and pollen from the room sparing your surrounding from any unhealthy particles. If you are someone who suffers from an allergy or has respiratory issues, then do get an air purifier for yourself.

 

Place the air purifier in your room, turn it on, wait for a few hours, and then you get a pollen and molds free room safe for you to breathe. There are different types of air purifiers available for you. Now, note this, not every air purifier is healthy. Some may promise to provide you with a dust-free environment but may end up bestowing respiratory and other health problems. So choose your air purifier wisely. 

HEPA Air Purifiers

HEPA stands for High-Efficiency Particulate Air which is widely used in worldwide households. It is a standard of filtration designed to strain out microscopic particles. Primarily, the purifier collects the impure or polluted air, then the pollutants are collected by the filters of the purifier. After the air is purified, the pure air is pumped out to the environment and more polluted air is drawn to purify. HEPA air purifiers are the most reliable and safe air purifiers; furthermore, it is widely used throughout the world. In the context of Nepal as well, there are many HEPA air purifiers in the market. And, as far as I'm concerned, it is the best of all. If you want to be healthy and breathe clean air, then do go for the HEPA air purifiers. However, they require a lot of maintenance, and you may have to replace them frequently.

Activated Carbon Air Purifier

Air purifiers with activated carbon technology are best to eliminate the smoke, odors, fumes, and gasses from the room. It is suitable for the ones who are sensitive to odors and natural gas. Most of the activated carbon air purifiers also include HEPA filters to remove air particles from the air. The activated carbon air purifiers are best for removing odors, fumes, gases, chemicals, and smokes; however, they are not suitable if you want to remove dust, pollens, and other airborne particles unless the model has HEPA filters to collect the dust and other airborne particles.

UV Air Purifiers

As UV rays of the sun damage the skin cells, the UV rays from such purifiers destroy the microbes and particles in the air. Like the HEPA air purifiers, UV air purifiers also collect the air, then using the UV lamp that produces UV-C light, it kills the microbes and bacteria in the air, and then throws the air out into the surrounding. This kind of air purifier help to get rid of the microorganism rather than the non-living organism. They are mostly available in medical settings. If you want to get rid of bacteria, microbes, and fungi, then do go for the UV air purifiers. However, it is debated that the UV air purifiers release ozone which is not healthy for you. But, if used in a specific wavelength, the ozone produced will not be harmful.

Ozone generators

Ozone air purifiers release ozone while purifying the air. Ozone is a compound formed by three oxygen atoms, often created by chemical reactions between nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). At the ground level, ozone can trigger a variety of health problems, especially for the elderly, asthmatics, and children. This air purifier is in the list to make you aware of its existence and to alert you to avoid any sort of air purifier that releases ozone. The salesmen ensure you that ozone won't harm your health and do you good, which is not the case. The ozone emitted by the ozone air purifiers are harmful to your health and may result in several harmful respiratory diseases. They are not available for purchase and are restricted by several governments throughout the world. However, be cautious of the Ozone generating air purifier.

For a cause, face skincare masks are a crucial phase in most competent spa facials. They will easily infuse formulated ingredients into the skin to fix a laundry list of problems (dryness, inflammation, discomfort, and more) and have almost every help the skin requires (firming, brightening, purifying, the list goes on). Best of all, with every budget, you can get the complexion-boosting benefits of a face mask at home, too.

Sheet Masks.

The most flexible type of face masks out there is potentially sheet masks. For a particular skincare requirement, most other styles of face masks are made. Clay masks, for instance, are good for oily skin, but not as effective for those with dry skin. For dry skin, but too strong for oily or acne-prone skin, cream masks are a hydration aid. But for any skin type, there are sheet masks made.

Masks of Clay (or Mud)

For decades, Clay Masks have been popular. There are a few distinct types of clay, with the most common being bentonite and kaolin clay. There are many medicinal applications for both forms of clay.

Clay masks are perfect for acne-prone skin, with an established capacity to absorb toxins and extract them from the skin. However, they might be dry, so if you have dry skin, do your research.

Cream mask

A cream mask could be for you if you have dry skin and need a hydration lift. For advanced skin, cream masks are preferable. If you have mixed skin, they can be used for spot treatment as well.

Peel-off mask

Peel-off masks can be perfect for acne or refining pores, much like clay masks. When peeling it off, you'll feel a slight exfoliation, which is perfect for those who need it. Blackhead peel-off masks are, on their own, like a mini-facial.

Charcoal Mask

In the charcoal mask type, you can note a certain overlap. There are masks of charcoal sheets, cream masks, peel-off masks, and winter masks of mud and the skin looks dark and brittle, or whether you live in a place that's

In both of these masks, activated charcoal is a common component for skin detoxification. Great with complexions and acne that are sticky.
