The main thing is to know the correct selection criteria and which models look better compared to the rest. In this article we will look at just that.

Which heat gun to choose for your dacha
There's always something new coming into the store, and space heaters are no exception. Today we can note the main types of guns: electric, gas and diesel models. Each type has both advantages and disadvantages.
Electric heaters
If you do not have problems with power supply in the room, this option will be the most convenient and practical. The principle of operation is simple: plug the cord into the outlet and start the heating. If the gun has a power of up to 5 kW, then you can simply turn it on from the outlet, but if it is more, you will need a voltage of 380 Volts.
Easy use, mobility and the absence of any refueling (since it runs on mains power) placed electric guns among the first in user reviews.
The heat is smoothly distributed around the entire perimeter, because the fan blows and immediately regulates the flow of warm air around the room.
Gas guns
The main 2 advantages of such devices: light weight of the device and comparative cheapness. The power of models can vary from 10 to 100 kW, although larger devices can also be found. Gas guns are installed to a centralized gas supply or are powered from a cylinder. When the gas burns, a heat exchanger converts the energy into warm air. Thus, the room gradually warms up.
Don’t worry about gas consumption - the devices are very economical, but not without their drawbacks. It is not possible to purchase a cylinder of liquefied fuel everywhere, and it is unsafe to store large reserves.
Diesel heat guns

Diesel guns function similar to gas guns and are powered by regular diesel fuel, which fuels cars. But, as everywhere else, there are no nuances.
One of the advantages is the excellent fuel economy. It is enough to refuel the car once for 10-12 hours of autonomous heating. In terms of power, diesel models are in no way inferior to gas models, and diesel fuel is much easier to transport and purchase.
There are also some disadvantages here: the device is very heavy, and diesel fuel emits pollutants. Therefore, the device is in demand only in a garage or warehouse, and even then only where there is ventilation.
Heat guns for direct and indirect heating
Diesel devices also have their own division into types: direct and indirect heating. This means that a direct heat gun discharges fuel breakdown products directly into the air. Such devices can only be used where previously indicated.
Indirect guns have a special system for removing decay products, which means they can be installed in residential areas without any problems, even without ventilation.
Important: all thermal heaters use oxygen in their operation.Therefore, make sure that new air from outside is constantly entering the room or building.
