Rating of the best fan heaters for the home in 2022

How to quickly and efficiently heat a room?

The most important thing is the weather in the house. Especially if fierce winds are raging outside the window, it is raining and the temperature is such that you don’t want to go out again. A comfortable indoor temperature is a guarantee of a good mood, decent performance, fewer colds, lack of dampness and mold.

One of the most popular devices for space heating is a fan heater (heat gun, thermal fan). The fact is that it is this device that is able to heat the room in the shortest possible time. The principle of its operation is simple: a fan inside the device delivers heated air through the grill to the outside. In addition, fan heaters have a number of advantages over conventional heaters or air conditioners:

• small dimensions. The heat gun does not take up much space in the house, which allows it to be used even in very small rooms;
• lightness and mobility. A small fan heater can easily be carried even by a child. And the legs at the bottom or a loop for hanging will allow you to place the device where it is convenient;
• relative quiet operation. No annoying loud sounds;
• heating speed. It is a fan heater that allows you to heat a room (especially a small one) in a very, very short time.

Types of fan heaters

All models must have a heating element, a thermostat (temperature control) and a fan. If the thermostat and fan have approximately the same design, then the heating element is:

• spiral. Made from metal. It heats up strongly (up to several hundred gr.C.), creates a slightly unpleasant odor due to the release of combustion products, but is cheaper than the others;
• ceramic. It gives off heat better, does not emit combustion products into the air, is safer in terms of possible fires;
• tubular (TEN). In fact, these are the same heating coils, however, they are additionally placed in a metal curved tube with a filler (quartz sand, manganese oxide). The filler protects against overheating and evenly distributes heat over the entire heating area.

Conventional models simply throw heated air into the room. Cooler models are equipped with a rotary mechanism (as in a conventional fan), antifreeze, a humidifier, overheat protection, and many protective filters against dust and moisture.

According to the type of placement, fan heaters are divided into floor, wall, ceiling. Floor stands can be placed not only on the floor, but also on any suitable surface (cabinet, chair, stool, etc.). There are combined models.

However, these devices are not intended for continuous operation, especially models for ordinary houses and apartments. This is an emergency method to quickly and efficiently heat up a room in case other types of heating are not available. For example, in the off-season, when the weather suddenly throws up a low temperature, and the heating has not yet been given / has already been turned off.

The fan heater is effective during emergency shutdowns of heating, as well as in extreme frosts. You can use it if you arrived at the dacha, and the house was without heat for a long time. You turn on the general heating, but while the batteries warm up the house, you can turn on the fan heater for an hour or two so as not to freeze at this time.

Since accidents and sudden drops in temperature occur in most regions of Russia, it is recommended to keep such a device in every home.
