Rating of the best ceramic fan heaters for 2022

The charm of the first snow and the coming cold weather is sometimes overshadowed by an insufficiently comfortable atmosphere in houses and cottages, office buildings due to low temperatures. A cool home, like an office, can be easily turned into a cozy warm place with a heater.

The offer on the heating equipment market is large, so before buying, you should decide on the individual parameters and expected characteristics of the device.

How to choose the right heater

Electrical appliances that are categorically different in principle of operation may have similar technical characteristics.

The source of heat can be:

1. water;
2. gas;
3. liquid fuel;
4. electricity.

Kinds

Depending on the design and process of air heating, the following types of devices are distinguished:

• based on infrared rays, which silently heat objects in the room, therefore, there is a rapid increase in air temperature;
• oil appliances with a metal case, inside of which there is a heating element, quickly warms up the space when plugged into the network;
• convectors convert air from cold to hot, maintaining the ecological balance and maintaining a certain temperature regime of the room for a long period of time;
• fan heaters create heat and ventilate it around the room, the heating process does not take time, large areas are quickly filled with hot air, with a slight drawback - a noticeable noise level.

Model and heating area

Heating the space up to a certain indicator is always in direct proportion to the power of the device. An exception is the infrared type of devices, for which the direction of heat distribution and the absence of obstacles in the way are important.

Accordingly, a large footage requires a powerful heater. A simple calculation of 100 watts per square meter will simplify the task and prevent selection errors. The maximum power of the appliance can reach 3000 W when it comes to very spacious rooms. A small room can be turned into a warm device with a power of 500 watts.

The ratio of the area to be heated with the type of appliance
View	Heating, max area coverage, m²	Power, W
Infrared	any, fast heating	any
Oil	10/25	1000/2500
Convector	10	1000
fan heater	direct dependence power/area

Industrial heaters initially have a long resource both in terms of time and power, so the cost differs markedly from household appliances.

An important factor is the performance, which can be determined by the ratio of air flow in a period of time: 1 kW / h. - /25 m³.
Almost all household models can be moved from room to room, which makes them versatile and saves on quantity. The height of the ceilings should also be taken into account, if it exceeds 3 meters, then the calculated power must be doubled.

Heating element type

It is the design and material of the heating block in electric fan heaters that determine the price, cost of operation and side effects during use.

spiral element

The heat source is a nichrome coil. A device with such heating can have a maximum value of 800 °. With a relatively low price, an important indicator of reliability is the reputation of the manufacturer, the absence of assembly errors and the quality of materials.

The combustion of oxygen during operation adversely affects the microclimate.

In this regard, users may experience:

• feeling of thirst;
• dry mouth and perspiration;
• headache.

Water

The design is designed for direct connection to the heating system, which guarantees high efficiency and minimum maintenance.

Placement is allowed on any objects - from supermarkets and offices to houses and warehouses.

Gas

Less common models have found their application in large rooms and are divided:

• on stationary;
• mobile.

The combustion chamber is hermetically sealed, so no outlets for waste products are required.

heating element

A metal or quartz tube contains a graphite or nichrome spiral, which is the design of a thermoelectric heater. The inner space of the tubes is filled with sand. Ceramic sand has a high thermal conductivity.

The heating element heats up to 500 °, ventilation goes on with high power, which is why the devices are called heat guns. The units have a long time resource and, accordingly, a good price.

Ceramics

One of the most reliable and efficient types of elements, which are ceramic plates.
Good heat transfer due to the increased area, together with maintaining the oxygen balance, makes the heater a leader in the rating of climate technology.

It should be added to the advantages of the device and security. In everyday life, such electrical appliances are called "wind blowers".

cermet

The composition of the heating element included barium titanate, which made it possible to bring the maximum temperature to 120 °. In addition to durability, strength, it should be noted that this type of element does not have thermal wear and is resistant to oxidative processes. The economical use of energy resources completes the general list of benefits. The air during operation does not lose humidity and does not reduce the oxygen component.

Mode and adjustment

Remote control is necessary when the unit is located in an inaccessible place, for example, at a high distance from the floor, on the ceiling. There are applications for smartphones that also allow you to control the operation of the device from a distance. However, the unit, located in the accessible area, is pleasant to manipulate with the remote control.

Mechanical option

Several disks or knobs with a scale for setting various modes and parameters can be located directly on the body of the appliance.

In addition to thermostats, you can change the power level, the angle of rotation and start the "climate control" mode.

Noise and protection class

Silent operation of the unit is important in the domestic aspect. Home is a place where a person gains strength and relaxes from emotional, physical stress. The permissible sanitary noise level is indicated by an indicator from 40 to 55 dB. This indicator is especially important for long, many hours of operation.

The international system determines the degree of protection of a person during the use of an electrical appliance with a two-digit abbreviation IP.

The first indicator varies from 0 to 6, characterizes the protection against electric current and dust of the device case. High score - high protection.

The second index is the threat of moisture penetration into the electrical appliance. 0 means no protection, 8 means full safety with submersion.

Additional functions

The slogan of technical progress proclaims not only maximum efficiency plus quality, but also a high level of comfort in use, additional features.

Certain functions give devices sophistication and advantages over their “brothers”.

Display

Contemporaries cannot imagine life without monitoring processes. Smartphones, smart watches, laptops, TVs and PCs provide complete information about what is happening.

In fan heaters with displays, you can monitor and change the necessary parameters in a "live" mode, controlling power, temperature, humidity level and many others.

Filter

Environmental pollution is the scourge of the present. Clean air is important for good health, comfort in the house and, of course, increasing the life of the heater itself.

Equipped with filters allows devices to eliminate from the air:

• particles of dirt and dust;
• allergens;
• harmful impurities.

Climate control

In heaters, this function is performed by thermostats. The heating of the room goes to the set temperature, after which it turns off. Convenience is undeniable not only at night or in time trouble, but also in case of forgetfulness of the user.

Timer

The indisputable advantage of the function is that by a given hour it is possible to heat the habitable space to the desired level. It's nice to know that when you return to your country house or home, it's warm and cozy there.

Moisturizing

When connecting an additional electric heat source, very often the air masses lose their moisture rate and acquire increased dryness. The process affects the state of the mucous composition of the nose and eyes, skin, provokes a sore throat.

A humidifier removes the risk of such manifestations.

Rotation

The function ensures uniform distribution of warm air throughout the space, which at the same time speeds up the process of temperature increase.

In various models, the start of rotation is implemented either according to a given mode, or can be controlled in an active process.

Ionization

The option is implemented in the saturation of air masses with air ions.

The user can choose additional ionization, which will make the air close to natural, such as forest or sea. Experts believe that such saturation with negatively charged ions contributes to cheerfulness, improved mood and overall well-being.

Errors when choosing

The most common "miss" in the model is power. There can be both an excess and a lack of resources. In order to avoid a miss, you should clearly determine the power parameter based on the area.
Compliance price / quality is mainly relevant in this section.Overheating, lack of protection, automatic shutdown often cause the failure of heat engineering. It is worth thinking about exceeding the minimum cost in order to increase the service life.

Multifunctionality is not a significant advantage if the priority is to meet the task of rapid heating and reliability, the level of protection.
