Looking to buy an electric heater to the wall, but do not know were to start. Here is a simple guide to help buyers to get the right purchase decision

Buyers Guide

If you want to buy an electric heater to the wall, for a new job (not replacing an old heating), there are several things to note.

1. Sizing of heating power
2. Voltage - basic guidelines
3. Noise Heater
4. Thermostat / timer
5. The grid
6. HeatingLocation
7. vs surface mounting depth
8. Feature on = Use or avoid.

1. Heating size (how big the room, warm)
The first and most important is: "How big is the room with warmth" The resistance must be sized so that it can be the coldest night of room heat. The quick rule of thumb for home in the last 20 years to build, or more houses are being renovated with more insulation and new windows and doors of 10 watts per square meter for the ceiling8 'or less, or 1.25 watts per cubic meter for ceilings over 9'

These small rooms:
10'W x 15'L = square footage = 150 (Standard 7 to 8 meters high ceiling)
Watts per square meter = 10 to 12 watts (10 watts to use new windows)
150 ft ² x 10 watts = 1,500 watt heater (choose a heating 1,500 to 2,000 watts)

This larger space:
25 'x 15'L = square footage = 375 (Standard 7 to 8 meters high ceiling)
Watts per square meter = 10 to 12 watts (new windows use 10Watt)
375 m² x 10 Watt = 3750 Watt Heater (select an 4,000-watt heater)
Always give yourself a safety factor by averaging.

Cubic Foot is a rule of thumb,
Room size 10 'H x 15'W 12'LW = 1800 cubic m
1800 cubic meters x 1.25 Ft (constant) = 2250
This room will need a minimum of 2250 watts of heat

2. Voltage
Your knowledge, and with the right tension on the right to know the top as one of the most important thing to understand before you buy and electric heater to the wall. electric wall heaters come in 120 and 240 volts. Some electric wall heaters only come to 120 volts, and some only come to the 240th Most of the houses in the United States have both 120V and 240V house there, if you have an electric stove, range, dryer or water heater in your home all running at 240Tension. A wall heating standard 120 volt to 500 to 1,500 watts, a space between (50-150 square foot room) if you have an area larger heat can be 150 m² is necessary to have a 240-volt heating. A wall heating system comes standard with 240 volts to 4,800 watts in 1000, a rate of (100 to 480 m² room) can heat.

A common site in the purchase and / or installation of a stove to the wall with the voltage wrong, if you happen to install the heating pe voltage wrong bad things.

- 120V to 240VThe heating is to give you the performance.
- 240V to 120V heater will void the warranty and the burning of the heater.

If you are unsure about your power you want to discuss an electrician. We carry almost all heating systems can be seen on the line and dispatch the same day if in stock, so that you can get much faster

(FYI Notes):
- 110 Volt, 115 Volt, 120 Volt, 125 Volt
- (All four strains with the work itself heater)
- 220 volt, 230 volt, 240, 250 voltVolt
- (All four strains with the work itself heater)
- NOT the same 208 volts to 240 volts - is very different

3. Noise
All fan forced wall heaters to make noise. I tell customers the most expensive heating wall to be quiet in his footsteps on the phone while browsing on our website (this rule does not apply to our commercial boilers, when the grating CFM then 100), so as the interior quality. If the noise is not a problemeach radiator within adequate power and voltage parameters to work.

4. The grid
I know this is subjective, is an important part of the purchasing process, the appearance of the furnace is located. Each radiator is made, we WH9815 Broan with a metal grid with a powder coated finish. If you have any questions about the color of a particular heating do not hesitate to contact us

5. Thermostat
The control of a wall heating can be done with an internal thermostat or wall.Some models have the option of one or the other, while some have only added the option to own or simply wall ... If you are unsure, call or e-mail

The built-in thermostat is on the outside of the heater installed. It works just like a wall heater in a clockwise direction, the device is turned on and set the desired temperature. wanted to rotate clockwise the desired temperature is lower and if all the way to the leftThe apparatus.

Wall thermostats are not available in all boilers for those who want to offer is how it works. A wall thermostat is usually mounted on the opposite side of the room. A power supply 120V or 240-volt wall behind the stove sheetrock drawn. The temperature of the heating again, turn the knob clockwise to your desired temperature.

When you use a thermostat on the wall with this wall heater be sure that the inside wall on a path, ideallyfront of the windows. Avoid areas drafts, direct sunlight, heaters and other appliances, electronics and put out heat like a Computer or television can. Make sure you put them behind a shelf and not too close to the images, which reflects the flow of air from the thermostat sensors.

6. Heating, located in room
Find a place on an inside wall near the outer wall. Make sure you avoid all the obstacles such as a chair or sofa, or hanging objects such as curtains. Using a close to the wall can beAvoid cutting into your wall insulation. The idea is to heat the cold wall of the room first and the rest will fall into line.

FYI notes:
The factories to recommend that the heater should be mounted at least 8 "from ground, 8" questions bordering on a wall, and if you're high when mounted at least 8 "from the roof by 3 feet of furniture to be ... If you have some position installation (s), please consult your local code inspector or city for the final answer

7. Absorbedvs surface mounting
- Built-in simply means that a hole in the wall of sheet rock.
- Based on a wall of bricks or blocks, instead of the stove to the wall mounting.

8. Feature to look for or avoid.
- Previous field include - Find It - All heaters are boxing again but sometimes it can be ordered separately. The container off the strength to touch the inner wall and insulation. It is also a violation of the code.
- Thermostatoperational areas - Locate it - some people want to run the heat lost to the temperature to keep water pipes from freezing. If the interval between 50 and 90 F, the heater is not up to 40 F, no matter how low the thermostat.
- Summer Fan Switch - Avoid - This is used for creating commercial applications, does this mean that the fans turn but the heater remains off.
- Heavy Duty Grille - Avoid - Another commercial application building, the greater the distanceTransport is the more likely that someone smashing the radiator grille of the heater to the wall. If you have a hotel Dolly roll around your house you do not need more than likely that the additional cost of a heavy duty front grill.
- Do not tamper-resistant integrated thermostat - Another creation of commercial applications, this is in office buildings, banks, front apses used.
