Staying Warm At the Office


In light of the cold weather spell that is impacting most of the US right now, I thought I'd take a minute to talk about staying warm at the office.

If your office happens to be cold, you really only have a few options:

  • Wear additional layers of clothes
  • Wear a jacket, coat, or sweater
  • Get an office heater
Since I don't like to wear lots of layers and don't look good in a sweater, my best option was an office heater. So my search for an office heater began. I needed a heater that was small but powerful, and featured an integrated thermostat so I wouldn't have to constantly adjust it.

I finally settled on a heater called the Honeywell HZ-325 Quickheat.

I went with this one as it does have a built-in thermostat and the ceramic heater basically stays cool no matter how much heat the unit puts out. With 1500 watts, this heater has no problem heating an office space up to 200 sq feet. I don't know about you, but my office is much smaller than 200 sq feet, so I stay nice and toasty now.
