Dimplex 3kW Fan Fan Heater Type G - British 3-pin

<p>Heating our homes, offices and commercial premises is of paramount importance to keeping warm in the colder months and to ensure a comfortable setting in which to work or relax. There are numerous radiators and heaters all offering different heat types, mounting types, control panels, colour, size etc so you can choose which look and feel you require dependent upon your individual needs. Depending how much you want to heat the environment you are in, will very much depend on the type of heating appliance you use.</p><p>Central heating radiators give off most heat and are a popular choice for many homes. Radiator heaters work by the water in the radiator being heated up, which then heats the surrounding air. Some radiators are oil filled rather than water. Oil-filled radiators work by heating the oil and are a great way to get heating on demand and are very energy efficient.</p><h2>Types of Heaters</h2><p>There are many types of heaters, that all do the same job, but in a slightly different way.</p><p><strong>Panel heaters</strong>&nbsp;heat rooms by warming the air, the panels have hot elements in them which heat the air as it circulates. Panel heaters are good for their slim design and fast acting instant heat. As well as the function for panel heaters to be wall mounted.</p><p><strong>Electric heaters</strong>&nbsp;use electricity as the main energy source and consist of heating types such as storage heaters, electric boilers, and underfloor heating sources. Due to renewable sources, electric heating is becoming more popular and a low carbon form of heating.</p><p><strong>Convector heaters</strong> are a brilliant idea and solution to warming up a room for a few hours at a time. Convector heaters or convectors use natural convection to move the heated air into the space required, making them far quieter than fan heaters.</p><p><strong>Fan heaters</strong>&nbsp;are small heaters that are portable and can be used for short periods of time to warm a room up.</p><p>Heaters &amp; Radiators can help support a healthy building by improving Thermal Health</p>

Infrared Heaters, Mounted Infrared Panels | RS

<p>Infrared heaters produce a form of radiant heat. They work by converting electricity into inferred energy. This energy is passed through the air and is directed onto surfaces and objects which in turn, heats the room. Infrared heaters are more efficient than convection or fan heaters as they heat surfaces rather than heating the air in a room.</p><p>RS offer a great selection of Infrared heaters from industry-leading brands including Dimplex, Broughton Knightsbridge and of course RS PRO.</p><h2>What are the different types of Infrared Heater?</h2><h3>Infrared Panels</h3><p>Infrared panels are a quick and efficient way to heat up a room. They are cheaper to run than traditional heating systems. Infrared heating panels are easy to install and are practically maintenance-free. They are typically wall mounted but can also be fixed to the ceiling. Slim in design infrared heating panels are perfect for rooms with limited space.</p><h3>Ceiling Infrared Heaters</h3><p>Ceiling infrared heaters hang down from the ceiling and look very similar to a standard light fitting. They are ideal for rooms with high ceilings such as workshops and garages. As they are suspended from the ceiling their heat can be directed toward the floor. This makes them more efficient as they provide a more direct source of heat and also reduce heat loss.</p><h3>Infrared Wall Heaters</h3><p>Wall-mounted infrared heaters come in various types, such as infrared panels and patio heaters. They are versatile and can be used both indoors and outdoors. Patio heaters use radiant heat and provide a very quick and localised heat source.</p>

<p>Fan heaters are a popular type of space heater that can quickly and efficiently warm a small-to-medium sized room or other enclosed environments. Many can be wall or ceiling mounted, in addition to numerous floor-standing and tabletop options.</p><h2>What are the pros and cons of fan heaters vs. other space heaters?</h2><ul><li>Fan heaters are ideal for use in workspaces or domestic areas where central heating isn't available, or to provide an additional fast-warming source of heat when weather conditions require it</li><li>They generally operate via a mains power point, and despite being focused more on fast results than long-term efficiency, fan heaters, in particular, can prove a surprisingly cost-effective way of warming a modestly sized space up rapidly and reliably on demand</li><li>Fan heaters work in much the same way as air conditioning or cooling fans do - except instead of using fans to push air over cooling pipes, they push it overheated pipes instead</li><li>The heating pipe or element of a fan heater is usually powered directly by electricity taken from a mains socket, although various alternative models of fan heater are available that use a range of other techniques, such as heated water ducts - however, these tend to be less quick at heating a given space</li><li>Fan heaters are usually cheaper to buy than many other types of space heater - for example, convection heaters - and usually work faster to get an enclosed room up to a comfortable temperature</li><li>Modern fan heaters typically include various options for power settings and thermostat cutoffs, making them much more efficient than older models</li><li>They're also more efficient than any other space heater types by virtue of being more effective over a shorter time period - this means you'll need fewer of them to warm up a larger space quickly</li></ul><p>Regardless of which type you choose, the majority of our space heaters and portable radiators are designed and built to be highly portable and user-friendly, offering simple controls and plug-and-play functionality to deliver an almost instant heating boost wherever and whenever it's needed.</p>
