Heating Systems for Static Caravans

Locating good high quality heating systems for static caravans can sometimes be a hassle; the size of the caravan and the right types of heating systems needed - that will fully heat the area but not allow the interior to get too hot - have to be taken into consideration.

If you are planning to live in a static caravan for a few months or more - particularly during the colder parts of the year - it is very important that you have a good understanding of the various types of heating systems that are available for use in a static caravan.

It is also important that you also know how to stay as warm as possible whilst staying in a static caravan.

Some static caravans might be heated by gas fire heating systems located in a main living area. These systems can be great for those cool nights - when it is a little chilly inside the caravan. Once the weather turns much colder, you may find that you're not able to ensure that all rooms in the caravan are appropriately heated with a gas heating system located in one room.

You may want to search for other, portable heating systems which can be used to provide your static caravan with more heat. Small electric radiator heating systems can be placed in the rooms that don't get the heat they should from the main gas heater - positioned in the living room.

If you only plan to be living in the caravan for a short period of time, then electric heating systems - such as portable radiators - are the only reasonable type of heating solution for you to go with, even if they can be more expensive than using gas heating systems.

Fortunately you can find small and inexpensive oil filled heating systems that are around 750W and work well in a small room, such as a bedroom. You can also help save money on energy costs by purchasing a couple of cheap plug-in time switches which will shut off the heating systems at a particular time in the day - ensuring that the system will not run all night long if it isn't needed to.

Electric heating systems seem to be an obvious option for those who currently living in static caravans - as well as those planning to stay in one.

It is important that you look for oil heaters that run on less than 750W; this type of heating system will cost less and will save you a lot of money on your energy bills in the future.

There are some 450W oil heating systems that can be found in retail or hardware stores, however, it is best to shop for one during the winter season - as they'll be easier to find.

Some people say that a time switch may not be essential if you are only planning on staying in the static caravan for a few weeks. However, if you plan to stay much longer than that you should probably have one or more installed.

Thousands of holiday makers across the country choose to stay in static caravans. The heating systems featured in these static caravans can vary significantly; this article details the different types that can be used in a static caravan.
