Shelter belongs to one of the basic necessities of man. It is included in Abraham Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. Having a proper shelter protects you from Mother Earth’s natural blows storms. Today, we can feel the effects of climate change in our environment. There are times in the morning when it gets too cold and rainy then it suddenly becomes too hot during the afternoon and then very cold again come night time. Even in the protection of our homes, we can still feel change in weather. This is the reason why some people use devices to regulate the temperature inside their homes.
Countries near the equator like India, Bangkok and the Philippines experience extreme humidity during the summer. Most of the homes use humidity sensing devices that turns on automatically as it senses high levels of water vapor in the air. Then it regulates the room temperature and lessens the amount of humidity in the air. Same goes with the people in the colder areas of the globe. In order to control room temperature, of course, they use thick clothing. Plus, fireplaces are also a very common fixture in their homes. It helps to keep their bodies warm during the cold winter days.
Fireplaces date back to the ancient times. Wikipedia defines it as, “an architectural structure to contain a fire for heating and… cooking.” Included in the structure is a firebox or a fire pit. Having fireplaces in homes can be very beneficial since the sound of the flames can provide a very comforting feeling. Others improvise by using hot water and wood heaters or stoves to keep themselves warm.
Today, wall heaters are starting to find its way into our homes instead of the classic fireplaces and wooden stoves. Needless to say, this is because of the fast-rising advancements in technology. They even come in a wide range of varieties like electric, halogen and even gas and diesel heaters. You just have to determine what type suits your needs and of course, your budget. There are now even different heaters for the different types of rooms like the kitchen the bathroom, or the living room.
