FAQs

Where can I use my fan heater?

Small heaters are a handy way to warm smaller areas quickly. From construction sites to offices, garages and bedrooms, portable heaters are a popular choice as a temporary indoor fix during boiler breakdowns or in spaces with little insulation, or rooms prone to draughts.

Can electric fan heaters be used in bathrooms?

Look for heaters with an IP rating of 21 or above for protection against water vapour in bathrooms in Zone 3 areas. A minimum IP rating of 65 is required for zones 1 and 2. Always check the manufacturer's guidelines before using in humid or wet conditions to prevent electrical damage or injury.

How does an electric fan heater work?

Fan heaters warm air internally using a heating element and then blow it out into the room through a fan. Fan heaters provide instant heat through various heat settings and can run alongside central heating systems for extra warmth when you need it, or as an emergency back-up if your central heating system fails or is awaiting repair.

What type of fan heater should I look for?

We stock a great range of fan heaters here at YESSS Electrical, each with different features to suit your needs and space. For example, wall-mounted downflow heaters are ideal for providing heat in bathroom areas, while models with an adjustable thermostat allow for precise temperature control. Discrete upright heaters are small but powerful, while our Rhino industrial electric fan heaters are well suited to larger areas.

Look for heaters with multiple speed settings for increased airflow and faster heating for convenient and efficient use at home or work.

Are fan heaters noisy?

The fan function naturally emits a small amount of noise. However, many recent models offer quiet operation, while a lower fan speed setting can help to reduce the amount of noise emitted. Keeping your fan heater clean can also help minimise any noise from the fans.

What are the benefits of using a fan heater?

Fan heaters are affordable and there are many portable options, ideal for carrying to different rooms and locations wherever and whenever you need extra warmth. Simply plug into the nearest electricity outlet for quick and efficient heating in cold weather, especially suited to smaller spaces. Many newer models offer high energy efficiency too, leading to lower energy consumption costs in the long run.

What is the difference between a ceramic and a traditional fan heater?

Ceramic heaters use ceramic plates or coils as their heating element, as opposed to traditional fan heaters which use wire elements or coils. Ceramic heaters are known for their energy efficiency and quick heating abilities, while traditional fan heaters can sometimes produce drier heat due to the direct heating method employed. However, both are effective ways to provide extra heat when you need it.

How do I keep my fan heater operating smoothly?

At YESSS we only offer quality models for reliability and quality assurance you can rely on. Our top tip to keep your fan heater operating effectively is to place your heater on a stable surface with good ventilation around it to allow for proper airflow. Don't forget to wipe your heater clean with a dry cloth after use to prevent dust accumulation inside the fan.
