Fan heater

At Biltema, we have a good selection of fan heaters with different voltage levels, power levels, and sizes. 

Fan heaters are a great addition to home heating  

You may be in an office where not everyone can agree on the temperature. If you find the temperature in the room is too cold and you need to warm up quickly, you can get an electric fan heater for your desk – no need to wait for central heating systems. 

For example, you can also use a fan heater when working in your garage or another room where there is no heating, and it can be cold in winter. The fan can then be used while you are working, and must then be switched off again. However, you should be aware that you can only use the fan in the garage or a similar room if the room is already insulated, and you can only use it as a temporary heat source.  

Fan heaters for caravans and allotments  

Fan heaters work well as a heat source in, for example, caravans and allotments, which are often used in the summer months. When the mornings are cool or the sun has set, the fan heater ensures a comfortable temperature. The fan heater is ideal for quickly heating smaller areas, so you can quickly get warm early in the day or at night. Fan heaters are perfect in these environments where only short-term and efficient heating is needed.  

Buy your new fan heater at Biltema  

At Biltema, you'll find a large and varied selection of fan heaters to suit many different needs. Whether you need a large or small fan heater, we offer different types of fan heaters, including both square and round models.   

Some of our fan heaters are compact and portable, making them perfect for tabletop use, while others are virtually silent - a great advantage if you want extra heat without being disturbed by noise. Our selection allows you to choose the right solution, whatever your needs.  

Which fan heater should I choose?  

There are several things to consider when choosing a fan heater. First of all, it's relevant to note that a fan heater is often only used as a secondary heat source. So you shouldn't get a fan heater to heat an entire room unless it's small and temporary.   

Design: Light or dark fan heater?  

Next, consider whether the appearance of the fan is important to you. You can get several different fan heaters, and some of them have different colour options. If you want your fan to be as inconspicuous as possible, you might want to consider whether it should be a light or dark colour, for example.  

Power: From 1000- 9000w  

If you don't care about the colour, all you need to consider is the power level of the fan. Most fan heaters have multiple power settings, and some come with a remote control to control these. In addition, the maximum power setting varies. For example, you can get a fan heater with a power setting of up to 2000w, but you can also find one with power settings of 1000w and 9000w. How much power you need depends on how and where you want to use your fan.  

Size: Should it be movable or fixed?  

Finally, it may be relevant to consider the size of your fan. Some fans are meant to be moved around, while others are better suited to a fixed position. In any case, make sure your fan has plenty of space around it and is not covered or near flammable materials, liquids or gases.  

Safe use of your fan heater  

To get the most out of your fan heater and avoid risks, it's important to use it correctly and safely. Here are five important tips for safe use so you can heat your home efficiently without worry. Follow these tips to ensure your safety and that of your family.   

• Rollover protection and overheat protection: It's important to prioritise a fan heater that is equipped with rollover protection, overheat protection, or both. A tip-over and overheat protection ensures that your fan automatically switches itself off if it falls over or overheats, respectively. You can also get fans with a timer function so they can be timed to turn themselves off after a set period of time.   

• Plenty of space around the fan heater: There is still some fire risk associated with using a fan heater. Make sure there's plenty of space around your fan and that it's not too close to walls and flammable materials.   

• For use in dry rooms only: A fan heater is for use in dry rooms only. Do not use the fan outdoors, and do not use it in bathrooms or other rooms with a humid environment.   

• Do not be operated by children: You must also ensure that the fan is placed out of the reach of children. The fan must not be operated by children. When children are in a room where there is a fan heater, they must be under constant adult supervision. 

• Securely plugged in: It's important that your fan is plugged into a socket where there are no other plugs. When unplugging, make sure you grasp the plug and do not jerk the cord. If there is a need to connect an extension cord, make sure it is kept straight and as short as possible.

Which rooms can I heat with a fan heater?
