Rating of the best fan heaters for home in 2020

How to quickly and efficiently heat a room?

The main thing is the weather in the house. Especially if fierce winds are raging outside the window, it rains and the temperature is such that you don't want to go out again. A comfortable room temperature is the key to a good mood, decent performance, fewer colds, no dampness and mold.

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

• small size. The heat gun does not take up much space in the house, which allows it to be used even in very small spaces;
• lightness and mobility. A small fan heater can be easily carried even by a child. And the legs at the bottom or a suspension loop will allow you to place the device where it is convenient;
• relative noiselessness of work. No annoying loud noises;
• heating speed. It is the 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 have a heating element, a thermostat (temperature control) and a fan. If the thermostat and the fan have approximately the same design, then the heating element is:

• spiral. Made of metal. Heats up strongly (up to several hundred degrees C.), creates a slightly unpleasant odor due to the emission of combustion products, but at a price 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 (heating element). In fact, these are the same heating coils, however, they are additionally placed in a bent metal tube with filler (quartz sand, manganese oxide). The filler protects against overheating and distributes heat evenly over the entire heating area.

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

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

It should be remembered that the fan heater is always:

However, these devices are not designed for continuous operation, especially models for ordinary houses and apartments. This is an emergency method to quickly and efficiently warm up the room if 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 / already turned off.

The fan heater is effective during emergency heating shutdowns, as well as in extreme frosts. You can use it if you came to the country house, 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 temperature drops occur in most regions of Russia, it is recommended to keep such a device in every home.
