Electric
heaters look better, are more efficient and are easier to operate and maintain.
Electric heaters are over 90% efficient and are perfectly safe for use indoors
or outdoors. They are also economical to operate and require little maintenance
beyond periodic cleaning. Unlike gas heaters, there are no valves, ignition components,
moving parts or burners to maintain or repair. In addition, electric heaters produce
no sound, odors or toxic emissions.
Electric heaters also offer added
mounting and installation options. They may be flush mounted into a standard 8'
ceiling using our flush mount frame. When surface mounted, they hang less than
9-1/2" from the ceiling. The most commonly used overhead gas heater requires
a minimum ceiling height of almost 10' and, when mounted properly, will hang almost
24" below it.
An electric heater is also easier to use. Enjoying electric
comfort heat is as easy as flipping a switch. You can adjust the intensity of
an electric heater infinitely from zero to 100% of power. By contrast, gas heaters
only produce infrared energy on their highest possible settings.
w-series
single element heaters
With
a variety of sizes to choose from, it is important to select the proper W-Series
single element heater in order to provide the coverage and intensity necessary
for optimum comfort. Some home or business owners may need to use multiple heaters,
in order to completely cover larger areas. W-Series heaters range from 1,500 to
4,000 watts.
Dual
element fixtures produce more concentrated heat and can be mounted up to 14 feet
high. These fixtures are ideal for use in settings that require higher mounting
height requirements, or when more intense directional heat is desired. Dual element
heaters are available in 4,000, 5,000 and 6,000 watt models.

ease of use and affordability. Your control options range from simple on/off switches
for all models, a duplex switch option for the dual element WD-series, our value
priced input regulators for models 3,000 watts or less, or sophisticated solid-state
