What's the benefit?

  • Economical building heating
    One of the most simple to install methods of heating a building, air flow can be directed wherever needed.
  • Fast response heat
    Where other systems require pre-heating, fan heaters provide heat to quickly address a shortfall or boost the temperatures.
  • Flexible heating
    Commercial fan heaters are as adept at providing a temporary heat source as they are when permanently installed.


How do they work?

Heating element diagram
Fan heaters work by forcing air across an element or heater battery to heat the ambient air in a given space. The more air that passes across the heating element the more quickly the temperature will rise in that area.

The velocity and distance the air is moved also affects the heater's ability to heat. The faster the airflow moves, the less time it has to be warmed by the elements giving rise to greater areas being heated to lower temperatures.

As heat rises, so heated air naturally heads for the ceilings giving a stratification of warmer air at the ceiling down to cooler air at ground level. For this reason, it is always recommended to install de-stratification fans to help keep warmer, heated air at ground levels where it will be experienced most.



Where de-stratification fans are not available, the positioning of fan heaters at a higher mounting level blowing down can help offset the effects of rising warm air by throwing this air back towards ground level.
