Convection Heaters

Enjoy convenient, quiet, and efficient heating with the use of convection heaters. With a choice of heat outputs, timers, and mounting options, add a convection heater to your environment with ease. At Cromwell, we have an ever-growing range of convection heaters.

What are convection heaters?

Convection heaters are a relatively quiet and efficient way to heat the room as compared to fan heaters. They work by heating an element using electricity and allowing the heat to disperse into the atmosphere by convection. They have an internal thermostat which allows the heater to turn on once the temperature drops below a set threshold.

When are convection heaters used?

Convection heaters can be used in a variety of environments as either the primary heat source or an additional heat source. Due to their near-silent nature, they are ideal for use in home and office environments but can also be suited to commercial and industrial use.

Considerations when choosing a convection heater

Maximum heat output - This is an important consideration when choosing a convection heater as it will determine how much heat the unit can output. A higher heat output will warm up a room quicker.

Number of heat settings - The number of heat settings should be considered if flexibility in heat output is required. A lower heat setting will use less power but may take slightly longer to warm up the room.

Mounting type - The mounting type should be a consideration when determining where the heater would be mounted. Having a free-standing heater allows for mobility of the heater, whereas wall mounting allows the heater to be securely mounted and free up floor space.

What does convection mean?

Convection is a natural process which happens within fluids. We can assume the air to be a fluid. With convection, certain fluids will move due to their density and buoyancy. As hot air is less dense than cold air, hot air will naturally rise (think of a hot air balloon), and this is how a convection heater move hot air without the use of a fan and heat up the environment.

FAQs

Do convection heaters use a lot of electricity?

Most convection heaters usually have an output of 2000W (2kW), which tends to be higher than an equivalent fan heater, however the efficiency is constantly improving, and the near silent operation makes them much more desirable compared to fan heaters.

Is a convection heater better than oil heater?

Although both convection heaters and oil haters serve the same purpose, they both have different advantages. If you are looking for instant burst of heat, then convection heaters are the way to go. If you are looking for heating over long periods of time, an oil-filled heater is more efficient at this task.
