Commercial and Domestic Electric Fan Heaters

Warm up any home, office, or commercial space quickly and efficiently with our extensive range of electric fan heaters at Simco Direct. Designed to deliver instant, targeted heat right where you need it, electric fan heaters are an ideal choice for localized heating, boosting room temperatures during sudden cold spells, or providing background heat in high-traffic areas.

Whether you need a sleek wall-mounted unit for a modern office, a safe downflow fan heater for a bathroom or kitchen, or a low surface temperature (LST) heater for care environments, our curated collection combines high-performance thermal output with low energy consumption.

Powerful, On-Demand Heating for Home & Business

Unlike oil-filled radiators or traditional central heating that take time to warm up an entire building, electric fan heaters operate by forcing air across a heating element to distribute warm air instantly. This rapid response makes them one of the most cost-effective heating solutions for short-term and targeted use.

Our collection includes:

  • Wall-Mounted Fan Heaters: Compact, space-saving designs featuring 7-day programmable timers, open window detection, and precise electronic thermostats for maximum energy efficiency. Perfect for offices, hallways, and living spaces.
  • Bathroom Downflow Heaters: Pull-cord operated, splash-resistant units designed specifically to bring quick, safe warmth to small domestic or commercial washrooms.
  • Low Surface Temperature (LST) Heaters: Engineered to meet strict health and safety standards with maximum surface temperatures capped at 43°C—ideal for nurseries, care homes, and healthcare settings.
  • High-Level & Commercial Fan Heaters: Unobtrusive units with wireless controls for shops, restaurants, and reception areas needing efficient overhead heat.

FAQs

  • Are electric fan heaters expensive to run in the UK?

    While electricity unit prices are generally higher than gas, modern electric fan heaters are 100% efficient at the point of use. Every watt of energy used is converted directly into heat. Because they warm a room up almost instantly, you only need to run them when the room is occupied, preventing energy waste and keeping overall running costs lower compared to heating an entire building.

  • What wattage electric fan heater do I need for my room?

    As a general rule of thumb for standard UK ceiling heights (around 2.4m):

    • 1kW to 1.5kW heaters are suitable for small rooms, domestic offices, or washrooms up to 10–12 m².
    • 2kW to 3kW fan heaters are recommended for medium to large living areas, open-plan spaces, or commercial settings up to 25–30 m².
  • Can I safely install an electric fan heater in a bathroom?

    Yes, but you must select a fan heater specifically designed for bathroom environments, such as a downflow fan heater with a suitable IP rating (at least IP24). Bathroom units should be mounted high on the wall, operated via a pull cord, and installed by a qualified electrician to comply with UK wiring regulations.

  • What is Lot 20 compliance, and why is it important for fan heaters?

    Lot 20 is part of the UK EcoDesign directive aimed at reducing energy waste. Lot 20-compliant electric heaters are equipped with smart features such as 7-day timers, electronic temperature controls, and open window sensors. Choosing a Lot 20 compliant fan heater ensures maximum energy efficiency and lower electricity bills.

  • What is the difference between a ceramic fan heater and a traditional fan heater?

    Traditional fan heaters use exposed wire coils that heat up rapidly, whereas ceramic fan heaters use Ceramic Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) elements. Ceramic elements self-regulate their temperature, heating up fast while operating at a lower risk of overheating, making them slightly safer, longer-lasting, and more energy-efficient for extended use.
