What was a fan heater or heater?
Fan heaters and heaters are part of the air conditioning system. These are mobile heaters that heat up air or heat radiation through ventilation. Fan heaters and heaters are used to temporarily increase the room temperature. In living rooms, fan heaters and heaters are suitable as a supplement to the central heating, in unheated rooms they can quickly provide for more comfort. Unlike fixed systems, fan heaters can be quickly and easily set up or suspended.
What electric heaters are there?
Halogen light
A halogen spotlight heats up by heat radiation. Unlike conventional fan heaters, the halogen heater does not have a fan, since it does not distribute heated air, but directly heats people and objects in the surrounding area. The low noise and lack of dust dispersion are advantageous in this technology.
Cartridge gas heater
A cartridge gas heater does not work with electricity, but with a gas cartridge. It is suitable for heating rooms in which no power connection is available. Anti-tipping and low-oxygen protection prevent fire or suffocation.
Quartz heaters
Quartz heaters contain special lamps for generating heat radiation. They heat the irradiated objects and people and do not require a fan, which makes them very quiet and does not cause air turbulence.
Fan heater
Fan heaters have a spiral heater in the housing that quickly heats the air and distributes it with a fan in the room. By distributing the warm air, even large rooms can be easily tempered. In this extensive equipment group you will find models with integrated towel rack and visually demanding copies, which also make a good impression in the living room.
PTC heaters
PTC heaters have a ceramic element inside that is heated by a PTC thermistor. The ceramic element of the PTC technology does not glow and thus minimizes the risk of room fires or unpleasant odors from burned dust. In addition, the ceramic elements are self-regulating and cannot overheat.
Timers and timers increase safety
If the fan heater or the heater has a timer or a timer, you will be received by pleasant heat and do not have to wait until the appliance has completely heated the room. This is especially pleasant in the morning in the bathroom or when you come home from work. Also for safety reasons, a timer or a timer is recommended, as it prevents the device from being used for too long, for example because you have fallen asleep on the sofa or had cold feet in the bedroom.

Our practical tip: Integrated fan function
Some models also offer a pure fan function for summer, in which the fan can be used without the use of the heat source. This function is usually called cold air or cooling. This is convenient because the new device can be used all year round.
FAQs: The most common questions about heaters and heaters
How much power does a fan heater or heater consume?
The power output in watts (W) can be used to calculate how much power the fan heater or heater consumes per hour. For example, if the specified power is 2000 W, this means that 2 kWh (kilowatt hour) is used in the hour. From your electricity bill, you can find out was you paying for one kilowatt hour with your electricity provider.
What was better: Radiant heater or fan heater?
There is no blanket answer here. Whether a radiant heater or a fan heater is preferable depends on the type of use. In rooms where a lot of dust can be stirred up, the use of a fan heater is rather problematic, here a heater is preferred. Due to the type of heat generation, fan heaters usually provide faster results.
How safe are fan heaters and heaters?
Many models offer a tilt protection, i.e. an automatic switch-off when the device falls over. Another safety option is an overheat protection that prevents the appliance from becoming too hot. If you have small children or pets in the household, it is advisable to select devices that do not become so hot and do not fall over easily. The following applies: The devices are safe when the safety instructions in the operating instructions are observed.

Should the bathroom be pre-heated in the morning thanks to the timer switch when you get up?
