Electric convector heaters are a type of electric heater that uses natural air convection to heat a space. Unlike radiant heaters, convector heaters warm the air and distribute heat evenly throughout a room, making them an excellent, energy-efficient option if you need to heat an area for an extended period of time. Also, because they have no fan or motor, electric convectors offer a quiet way to warm small spaces such as waiting rooms, entryways, stairwells, and hotel rooms. Industrial electric convector heaters are available in a variety of sizes and capacities, depending on your application and needs. At NorthStock, we carry electric explosion-proof convectors, electric pump and well house convectors, electric wall-mounted convection heaters, and more. Explore our extensive selection and find the convection heating solution that’s right for you.
Before you purchase a convector heater, it’s important to understand the basics of what is a convector heater and how it works. Electric convector heaters are a simple, quiet, and energy-efficient way to heat office, industrial, and commercial spaces. When the convector heater is turned on, electricity flows through the metal heating element, warming the air around it. As the air heats up, it becomes less dense and rises naturally. The surrounding cooler air then moves in to take its place, creating a cycle called the convection process. As the warm air rises and spreads through the room, gradually the overall temperature increases. Once the room reaches a set temperature, the heater automatically turns off or reduces power, creating energy-efficient heating. If the temperature drops, the heater turns back on again.
Discover the Best Convector Heaters for Your Needs
Commercial and industrial electric convector heaters are available in a variety of sizes and capacities with automatic or manual reset, and universal models can be placed on the floor or mounted on the wall. Different applications call for different types of convector heaters, so how do you know what the best convector heater is for your space and needs? Take into consideration the size of your facility, your wattage requirements, any specific features you require, and any specific space concerns. At NorthStock, we offer four main types of convector heaters; let us help determine which is right for you and your heating needs.
Explosion-Proof Convection Heaters
Explosion-proof convection heaters provide clean, reliable heat in hazardous or potentially explosive environments, including petroleum refineries, aircraft hangars, gas storage facilities, grain elevators, plastic production facilities, textile mills, wood pulverizing plants, and more. Explosion-proof heaters are designed to prevent ignition and ensure safe operation in these high-risk areas, plus each unit has been approved for its specific class and division, so you can rest assured your convector heater meets the required safety standards.
Electric Pump and Well House Convectors
These specialty heating units are designed to keep water pumps and pipes from freezing in utility rooms, crawl spaces, and pump houses throughout the winter. These convector heaters are critical for protecting operational equipment located in unheated or exposed environments.
Wall Mounted Convection Heaters
Electric wall-mounted convection heaters offer a permanent heating solution for areas where floor space is limited. They are commonly used to heat busy areas like entryways, waiting areas, shop offices, sheds, and workshops. These electric convector heaters are available in a wide range of sizes with vertical or horizontal mounting options.
Institutional Wall Convectors
When you don't have any floor space to spare in a large room, institutional wall convector heaters provide quiet, reliable heat without getting in the way. Mount them high up on the wall of a classroom, library, office, lobby, government building, or another space where quiet heating is essential. With these specially crafted convector heaters, enjoy tamper-resistant designs, low surface temperatures, and sloped cabinets that ensure nothing accidentally falls or gets placed on top of the unit.
