Kerosene Heaters -- 4 Models
A kerosene heater, also known as a paraffin heater, is typically a portable, unvented, kerosene-fuelled space heating device. In Japan and other countries they are a primary source of home heat; in the United States and Australia they serve as supplemental or emergency heat during a power outage. Most produce 3.3 to 6.8 kilowatts.
A kerosene heater operates much like a large kerosene lamp. A circular wick made from fibreglass or cotton sits in a burner unit above a tank of kerosene and draws fuel up by capillary action. Once lit, the wick heats the kerosene until it turns into a gas, and this gas is burnt to heat air by convection or nearby objects by radiation.

Three Things That Make These Heaters Different
Why Choose a Kerosene Heater?
A wick-fed kerosene heater is the one space heater that keeps working when the electricity does not. There is no blower, no igniter coil and no mains lead — a piezo or battery spark lights it and convection does the rest.
Six reasons kerosene still sells
Where it honestly loses
Head to head
| Kerosene (wick) | Electric heater | |
|---|---|---|
| Heat output | 9,000–23,800 BTU/h (2.6–7 kW) | Up to 1,500 W, about 5,120 BTU/h |
| Mains supply | None needed — piezo or battery ignition | About 12.5 A at 120 V |
| Ventilation | Yes — cracked window plus CO alarm | None |
| Time to temperature | Minutes, by convection | Immediate |
| Area covered | Up to about 1,000 sq ft | Up to about 200 sq ft |
| Noise | Near silent — no fan | 33–58 dB |
| Fuel storage | 1-K only, degrades, has an odour | None |
| Use during an outage | Yes — the main reason people buy one | No |
So which one should you choose?
Choose a kerosene heater if…
- Power cuts are a routine part of your winter
- The space is large and draughty enough that convection beats a small fan heater
- You want heat with no mains lead and no installation
- You can ventilate, and you will keep a CO alarm in the room
Choose an electric heater if…
- The room has to stay sealed, or is used by people who cannot manage fuel
- You want heat with no smell, no water vapour and no refuelling
- The local code restricts unvented kerosene indoors
- You only need to take the chill off one small room
What that means for your order book
Kerosene demand tracks power reliability, not climate. Markets with a fragile grid or a rural off-grid population buy convection cabinets and radiant portables by the container, while markets with reliable electricity buy them mainly for emergency stock and outbuildings. Because the fuel is the constraint rather than the appliance, these buyers care most about wick quality, tank sealing and the safety chain — tip-over shut-off, flame failure and oxygen-depletion sensor. Our kerosene range covers four portable models, with the CE / LVD / EMC / RoHS / ERP marks and OEM colour, logo and packaging from 30 to 45 days.
Output, runtime and fuel-energy figures follow published kerosene heater specifications, the Wikipedia entry on kerosene heaters, and safety guidance from the New York State Department of Health. Confirm the specification of the exact model before quoting.
Wholesale Kerosene Heaters from a China Factory
FirstSight manufactures kerosene heaters for importers, retailers and own-brand programmes. Our 4 models are all 9,000 BTU portable kerosene heaters with automatic ignition, covering indoor, workshop and emergency backup use, so you can stock a single kerosene space heater or a full range from one supplier. Because combustion provides the heat, a portable kerosene heater needs no mains power at all - which is what makes it the practical kerosene heater for indoor use when the electricity is out, and a dependable kerosene heater for garage, workshop and cabin use the rest of the year.
As a kerosene heater supplier in China we build to your market - CE and UKCA options, your own logo, housing colour, packaging and manual language. Safety is engineered in rather than added on: every unit carries a siphon pump, a safety grill and an automatic extinguish tip-over system, and a kerosene heater with flame failure cut-off shuts down if the flame is lost. A 9,000 BTU kerosene heater with fuel gauge and overflow safety lets the user see the level and refill without guesswork, while a convection kerosene heater circulates warm air by natural draught with no fan to fail.
Wholesale pricing starts at low MOQ, with samples in 7-10 days and production in 30-45 days. Bulk buyers in Japan, North America and Europe rely on our consistent quality, and our 14+ hours of heat on a single tank is what makes a portable kerosene space heater practical for overnight and emergency use. Whether you need a kerosene heater with automatic ignition for a retail programme or a 9,000 BTU convection kerosene heater for a hardware chain, our engineering team can return a prototype to your specification within 7-10 days. Ask for the full kerosene heater catalogue, certificates and test reports.
