Which fan heater is better to buy

Fan heaters suggest several types of installation: stationary with mounting on the wall or ceiling, and mobile - a portable compact unit. If the room is spacious and does not have a main source of heat, then it is better to stay on a stationary device. But mini-heaters are suitable for temporary heating of the room during cold snaps.

Also, it is important to pay attention to:

• Type of heating element;
• Power;
• Management (mechanical or electronic);
• Appearance and dimensions.

Most fan heaters come with a ceramic element. Its advantage is the safety of use. The heating wire is coated with a thick layer of glass-ceramic and prevents dust or debris from igniting. In second place is TEN. It is also safe and does not cause a specific smell when turned on. But with spirals you need to be more careful, the wire is bare and heats up to 800 degrees, burning dust and objects that have fallen through the grate.

The power of the device is responsible for the temperature and heating rate - the higher it is, the faster the device will heat the room. The norm for home models is 1000-2000 W, industrial ones are more powerful - they consume over 3000 W and need a separate line.

How to choose the right fan for your home?

Before proceeding to the choice of model, let's decide what types of fans exist, and what they are according to the principle of operation.

Types of fans by installation method

1. Desktop - compact, take up little space, installed on a table or other surfaces. Some mini-models are travel, you can take them with you.
2. Floor - can be without a leg or on a leg. The former are distinguished by large blades, the latter are a classic option that is most often used for the home. They take up more space than desktops, but tend to be more powerful.
3. Ceiling - are considered the best option in terms of saving space, but more difficult to install.

According to the principle of work

The most common are axial fans. In the common people they are called "carlson", because they consist of a rack and a three-blade engine with a propeller.

Columned. They belong to the premium class, instead of blades they have gratings. How do they work? On the principle of rotary air heaters. That is, the device sucks in air, then drives it through the body and squeezes it out. In terms of efficiency, they are better than axial ones, but their price is higher. Column models take up a lot of space, but the bulkiness is masked by a stylish design that fits perfectly into any room. They work louder than axial ones, because the air passes inside under high pressure.

Bladeless. From the name it is clear that they do not have blades. This is a novelty in the world of climate technology, such devices are also called Dyson fans, since they were first developed by this particular company.Such models do not have a propeller, and air is blown like in turbines: it passes through holes at the base, runs through the body and exits through a slot in the ring. The main advantage is complete safety due to the absence of rotating elements. They have one drawback - a rather big price.
