Inesperado aliado contra el frío: calienta más que una estufa y gasta menos energía

Overview

  • Households are replacing traditional gas and electric stoves with inverter air conditioners that heat efficiently and cool in summer while using significantly less electricity.
  • Convection heating panels have gained traction for their silent operation, even heat distribution and 400–600-watt consumption without emitting gases or needing ventilation.
  • Programmable digital controls and smartphone connectivity let users set schedules and manage temperatures without manual intervention or regular maintenance.
  • Unlike gas stoves, these electric-based systems operate without open flames or carbon monoxide risks, enhancing home safety.
  • Consumers are also exploring infrared heating panels and pellet stoves as additional energy-saving options for winter heating.
