When somebody says "fan," almost all people think about a cooling system. After all, most people turn on a fan during hot summer days. But during those cold and dreary winter nights, when you want to have that warm and fuzzy feeling inside, try using an indoor heater fan.
Heater fans are usually found in cars, in order to keep the driver and passengers warm and comfortable during a winter drive. Many homes during the wintertime would use space heaters and radiant heating, but these consume a lot of electricity. Heater fans are affordable, energy efficient, and some even serve as home decorations. While conventional cooling fans circulate air around a space, heater fans have heating elements that provide a source for warm air. The fan, made out of heat-resistant plastic or resin, would then blow off warm air into the room.
There are many heater fans available to suit all sorts of needs. For industries, there are industrial heaters. For budget-conscious car owners, or for those looking for a temporary heater fan for their cars, small and affordable heater fans are available through the Internet or through car supply stores. These heater fans are small enough can be placed in dashboards. Heater fans also provide a reasonable and efficient solution to heating smaller rooms where radiant heating solutions are expensive and impractical.
The first thing to keep in mind when choosing a home heater fan is safety. Because heater fans radiate heat through electricity, a poorly-made or poorly-installed heater fan can be a fire hazard. Before installing any heater fan, first check your house’s electrical wiring and connections. Better yet, consult your electrician. When choosing a home heater fan, choose one that is durable and safe. Also consider the size of the room you’re installing it in: you do not want to sweat from too much heat.
Some heater fans are also decorative items. Heater fans made out of resin look antique, and some look very modern. Depending on your choice of design, a heater fan can be a great addition to your home.
