Fan heater pros and cons

A fan heater is one of the popular types of heaters. Such a heater is used to warm up all kinds of structures, in particular, houses, apartments and production areas in industrial organizations.

The main structural components of a fan heater are the heating component and the fan itself. The air is heated with the participation of a fan on a hot heating component, which, when heated, comes out of the holes that are located on the front panel of the device. The fan heater may have a pair of heating components that are activated when different switch positions are selected, which is located on the heater panel.

A large percentage of heating installations are fed through electrical networks. During the process of connecting the heating system to it and putting it into operation, the heating component gradually begins to gain temperature, thereby generating heat and heating the air nearby. The role of the fan here is to displace already heated air out. Over and over again, warm air begins to circulate evenly throughout the room.

Pros of purchasing a fan heater

Paying attention to all of the above, you can make sure that fan heaters have the following advantages:

• If we compare it with other devices for warming up and heating, then a fan heater is the fastest way to heat the air in a building, from which it follows that there is no better choice when the need arises for quick heating of the room.
• Transporting the device. Due to its small size and design features, the fan heater is light in weight, and therefore there should be no problems with its transportation around the apartment, as well as personal installation by the user. Fan heaters can be installed on a table, on the floor or mounted to a wall.
• Ease of use. In addition to the positive aspects listed above, the heating component can be operated in various modes for the purpose of heating or cooling, which depends on the set temperature.

Some cons

Each product has its own disadvantages, and fan heaters are no exception, because they have their own negative sides:

• Perceptible noise level, which is formed when the fan turns on and reaches maximum speed.

• Unpleasant smell, which is associated with what is conventionally called “oxygen combustion”. This circumstance is due to the moment when dust particles, dirt or other substances forming combustion products penetrate into the hot spiral.

Important! An excellent way out of the situation would be to purchase a model of the unit that works using a ceramic component. It is not capable of heating up as much as steel, but at the same time it is endowed with good heat transfer. If you want to save money, you can opt for modern spiral models.
