What type of heater is it?
An electric wall-mounted panel heater.

What is it made of?
A fibre-cement board (non-asbestos).

How does it work?
Like a central heating system, it uses the principle of hot air rising, or convection heating. This very economical form of “background” heating is safe and efficient.

How economical is it?
It is probably the most economical heater on the market. Because the heater is of such a low wattage, it uses very little electricity – as little as four incandescent light bulbs!

How can that be effective?
There is a constant circulation of hot air rising from a large surface area between the heater and the wall. There is also a constant flow of direct heat radiating from the surface. These two forms of heating result in an effective and inexpensive heating system.

What size room will it heat?
It has been specifically designed to heat an average size room of about 3m x 4m (12m2). You can add as many heaters as you like to heat any size room or home, creating a cost-effective central heating system.

Do I still need it if I have central heating in my home?
Indeed, the Econo-Heat wall panel heater can be used in conjunction with central heating installations to help you save on central heating costs. By using the Econo-Heat wall panel heater at the beginning or end of winter you can create heat more economically and keep the central heating switched off for longer.

How long will it take to heat my room?
It will take approximately 15 minutes for the panel heater to reach its maximum surface temperature and not much longer to heat the room, depending on the nature of the room.

Is it safe for children and pets?
Yes! The panel heater has no exposed elements and a safe surface temperature of approximately 75 - 90° C depending on the ambient temperatures.

How do I install it?
Every heater comes with a new, patented Econo-Heat installation kit and easy to follow 5-step instructions. Should you wish, you can contact an official Econo-Heat installer.

What size is it?
The heater measures 600 x 600mm.

Can I paint it?
Yes, the panel heater can be painted with any household PVA paint (no oil-based paints) to match any wall colour.
