Low temperatures during the winter can really make living comfortably difficult, so that’s why wall heaters have gained huge popularity in homes and offices. Wall heaters can be mounted directly on the surface of the wall or recessed into the wall, thus also save valuable floor space. They are very energy efficient and can heat areas up to 500 square feet depending on the amount of wattage the wall heater provides.

Wall heaters offer many features that can make usage easy, safe, convenient, and energy efficient. Most electric wall heaters feature a built-in thermostat that controls the room temperature and a frost protection setting that automatically turns on unit at 41° F. An automatic reset high limit protection feature offers safety, as does the thermal safety switch that disconnects from power in the event of blocked ventilation or overheating. Some wall heaters also include a timer replacing wall switches, single or multi-gang timers and automatically limit the “on” time for heater. Another feature that makes wall heaters even more convenient to use is the remote control feature that some wall heaters include.

How to choose the correct wall heater for your home or office?
• Installation – Before choosing a wall heater first check the installation requirement at your home or office. Do you need a gas supply or only electricity for the wall heater?
• Safety – Highly important if you have children at home. You want to install a safe system fitted with all necessary safety features.
• Noise – Some wall heaters can be noisy so choose wisely if this will be a problem.

Keep these tips in mind and enjoy energy efficient heat this winter.
