Lisakütteks

Lisakütteks is an Estonian term that translates to "additional heating" or "supplementary heating." It refers to any heating system or method used to provide extra warmth in a building beyond the primary heating source. This can be employed in various situations, such as during colder periods when the main heating is insufficient, or in specific rooms that tend to get colder.

Common forms of lisakütteks include electric heaters, such as fan heaters, oil-filled radiators, and infrared heaters. Wood-burning stoves and fireplaces also serve as a form of additional heating, particularly in rural areas or for creating a cozy atmosphere. Portable heaters are often used for targeted heating of small spaces or for temporary use.

The purpose of lisakütteks is to enhance comfort and maintain desired indoor temperatures without necessarily running the main heating system at a higher capacity, which can sometimes be less efficient or more costly. It is a practical solution for addressing localized cold spots or for providing quick bursts of heat.
