How it's used
Refers specifically to electrical devices designed to raise temperature, often used for water or small spaces. While technically correct, people frequently use specific terms like 暖爐 for space heaters or 熱水爐 for water heaters in daily life. Using the generic term can sound slightly clinical or like reading a product manual.

Common mistake
Avoid using this for a stove or a burner, as those are referred to as 爐頭 or 爐具. Using it for a kitchen appliance might cause confusion about whether you mean a specialized heating element or a cooking device.
