Wall Heaters

A wall fan heater is a type of forced air heating system that operates by pushing heated air outward. This type of heating system is ideal for heating both small residential spaces and large commercial buildings, as well as hallways, and lobbies.

• These heating systems rely on separate ductwork to carry the heated air to the designated rooms.
• Return vents carry cooler air to the central air handler for re-heating.
• The wall fan heaters feature resistant grills as well as thermal protection with automatic reset.
• This type of heating system provides quick heat loss recovery and is both energy and cost-efficient.

When installed properly and in a suitable environment, NO. Wall mounted heaters work extremely efficiently compared to larger units.

Thanks to built-in thermostats, especially programmable thermostats, wall heaters can quickly heat a room then turn themselves off. Running on a 120-volt power source and consuming 1,500 watts per hour, a typical convection wall heater may cost around five cents for every hour of use.

Pic-a-watt heaters offer fine-tuning that lets owners adjust the wattage for the optimal heat, increasing efficiency and lowers electricity use.

Not all electric wall heaters are efficient, however, especially if they’ve been installed in the wrong place, don’t have enough insulation, or have too many or too few BTUs for the space. Correct installation of your electric wall heater is essential.

Yes, electric wall-mounted heaters can be left unattended for long periods of time due to their built-in safety features. If the wall unit is properly installed and has enough clearance from other objects, there is almost no danger of fire or damage. Unlike wall mount units, you cannot leave portable heaters running unattended and should unplug them when not in use.

Wall heaters are meant for direct wall installation as a permanent heating solution. All wires are mounted inside the wall directly to the circuit panel. Space heaters, or portable heaters, are standalone devices that plug into a wall outlet. Portable heaters are not permanent. Instead, once they are no longer needed, they are usually put back in storage.

Space heaters can be extremely dangerous because they sit out in the open, and rooms are not built with them in mind. Wall heaters require careful installation away from flammable objects to ensure long-term safe operation.
