A heating appliance employing electricity to generate warmth, typically found in manufactured residences, offers a contained and efficient method for climate control. These units utilize electrical resistance to heat air, which is then circulated throughout the dwelling via a system of ducts.
The benefits of such a system include relatively low initial cost and ease of installation when compared to other heating solutions. Furthermore, its reliance on electricity reduces the risk of carbon monoxide exposure within the living space. Historically, this type of system became prevalent as mobile homes sought self-contained heating solutions compatible with existing electrical infrastructure.
