A 240V electric convector heater delivering up to 2,000W of natural convection heat across three independently controlled power settings. Two rocker switches on the side panel allow 750W, 1,250W, or 2,000W to be selected, with a dial thermostat that maintains the chosen temperature automatically. There is no fan. The heater operates in complete silence, making it suited to offices, welfare units, workshops, and domestic rooms where background ambient heat is needed without the noise of a fan heater.
How a convector heater heats a room differently from a fan heater
A fan heater pushes warm air in one direction at speed. That makes it fast at warming the zone directly in front of it, but it is noisy, creates temperature imbalance across the room, and the heat dissipates quickly when the element cycles off. A convector heater works on a different principle. Air enters through the base, passes over the heating element, warms, and rises naturally through the top outlet grille. This continuous cycle draws cool air in and pushes warm air out without any mechanical assistance, heating the room evenly and silently. The result is a steadier, more consistent ambient temperature that is well suited to spaces where people are working, where noise is a consideration, or where all-day background heat is more important than rapid warm-up from cold.
Key Features
-
Three heat settings via two independent rocker switches: The two switches control the lower element (750W) and the upper element (1,250W) independently. Switch on the lower only for 750W, the upper only for 1,250W, or both together for the full 2,000W output. Three combinations, three levels, without any additional controls.
-
Silent natural convection: No fan, no motor noise, no airflow sound. Air circulates through the element by natural convection, making this heater completely silent in operation. Suitable for offices, meeting rooms, and welfare areas where a fan heater would be disruptive.
-
Adjustable dial thermostat: The MIN to MAX dial sets the target room temperature. Once reached, the thermostat cuts the element off and switches it back on when the temperature drops, maintaining a consistent level without manual intervention.
-
Trip-over switch: Power cuts automatically if the heater is knocked over or tilts beyond a safe angle, reducing fire risk in busy office or site environments.
-
Thermal cut-out and overheating protection: Two independent safety systems guard against overheating: a thermal cut-out trips if the unit gets too hot, and a separate overheating motor protection circuit provides a second layer of protection.
-
Low-profile freestanding design: Wide black foot bases keep the heater stable on both hard floors and carpet. The slim white profile sits neatly against a skirting board without projecting significantly into the room.

Who Is This For
This convector heater is used by office managers, site welfare officers, and facilities teams who need reliable silent background heating in offices, meeting rooms, welfare cabins, and domestic rooms where a fan heater would be disruptive or where consistent ambient temperature matters more than rapid directional warm-up. The three independently controlled settings and thermostat make it practical for all-day use where the level needs adjusting as outdoor temperature changes through the day.
Typical Applications
-
All-day background heating in commercial offices and meeting rooms where the silent operation allows it to run without disturbing concentration or calls.
-
Site welfare cabin heating during autumn and winter working periods, where the heater runs through the day on the middle or full setting and the thermostat maintains a consistent temperature.
-
Workshop and automotive garage heating where ambient background warmth across the full space is more useful than directed spot heat from a fan heater.
-
Domestic living rooms, home offices, and hallways where a second heater is needed to supplement central heating in a cold zone.
-
Reception areas and waiting rooms where silent operation and a clean white profile are practical requirements alongside consistent warmth.
How to Use
Step 1: Position the heater on a firm, level surface with the top outlet grille unobstructed. Keep at least 0.5 metres of clearance above the grille and 1 metre in front of the heater. Do not place against a wall or under a shelf that restricts the upward flow of warm air.
Step 2: Connect to a 240V mains supply. Do not use with a damaged cable or plug.
Step 3: Set the thermostat dial to the MAX position before switching on a heating element, to allow the room to reach the target temperature before the thermostat begins to regulate.
Step 4: Use the two rocker switches on the side panel to select the required output. Lower switch only: 750W. Upper switch only: 1,250W. Both switches: 2,000W. The indicator lights on each switch confirm which element is active.
Step 5: Once the room reaches a comfortable temperature, turn the thermostat dial anticlockwise until the heater stops, then leave it in that position. The thermostat holds the room at that level automatically.
Step 6: Switch off at the rocker switches and disconnect from the mains when leaving the room for an extended period.
Common Mistakes
-
Placing the heater too close to a wall or in a corner: convector heaters rely on free air movement to work efficiently. Positioning against a wall or in a corner restricts the air circulation and reduces heat output. Allow adequate clearance above the outlet grille and around the unit.
-
Covering the heater: covering any part of the heater during operation is a fire risk and will trigger the thermal cut-out. Never place clothing, towels, or any material on or near the heater while it is in use.
-
Setting the thermostat too low at start-up: if the thermostat is set below the current room temperature, the heater will not activate the element at all. Set the dial to MAX at start-up and dial back once the room reaches the desired level.
-
Expecting rapid warm-up from cold: convector heaters are optimised for steady ambient heating, not rapid directional warm-up. In a very cold room, allow more time to reach temperature compared with a fan heater at the same wattage, or use the 2,000W setting to speed the initial warm-up.
-
Using in a wet or damp environment: this heater is for dry indoor use only. Do not use in bathrooms, near sinks, or in any space with persistent moisture or condensation.
Safety
For dry indoor use only. Never cover the heater during operation. The top outlet grille reaches high temperatures during use, do not touch and keep children away from the outlet area. The trip-over switch cuts power automatically if the unit tips, stand it upright and allow it to cool before restarting. The thermal cut-out activates if the heater overheats, check that the outlet is unobstructed, allow cooling, then restart. Do not use near flammable liquids, gases, or materials. Keep a minimum of 1 metre clearance from curtains, upholstery, and combustible objects.
Maintenance
Wipe the body with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use solvents. Keep the top outlet grille and the base air intake clear of dust. Dust accumulation reduces convection efficiency and can trigger the overheating protection. Allow the heater to cool fully and disconnect from the mains before cleaning. Do not attempt to open or service the internal components. Store in a clean, dry location when not in use.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between a convector heater and a fan heater?
A: A fan heater uses an electric motor and fan blade to blow air over a heating element and direct warm air at speed into the room. A convector heater has no fan or motor. Air enters through the base, passes over the heating element, warms naturally, and rises through the top outlet grille by convection. The result is silent operation, more even temperature distribution across the room, and steadier ambient heat over time. A fan heater is faster at warming a specific zone from cold. A convector heater is better for all-day silent background heating.
Q: How do the three heat settings work?
A: Two independent rocker switches on the side panel each control one heating element. The lower switch activates the 750W element. The upper switch activates the 1,250W element. Switching both on together gives the full 2,000W combined output. The three combinations give you 750W for light background heat in a small or already warm room, 1,250W for a medium room or cooler conditions, and 2,000W for rapid warm-up from cold or a larger space. Each switch has an indicator light that confirms which element is active.
Q: What is this heater NOT suitable for?
A: This heater is for dry indoor use only. It must not be used outdoors or in wet, damp, or high-condensation environments. It must never be covered during operation. It is not suitable for use near flammable liquids, gases, or materials, or in explosive atmospheres. It should not be used as the primary heat source for very large open industrial spaces.
Q: Why does the heater sometimes stop heating even though it is switched on?
A: The most likely cause is the thermostat cutting the element off because the room has reached the set temperature. Turn the thermostat dial clockwise to increase the target level and the element will restart. If the heater stops without the thermostat being the cause, the thermal cut-out may have activated due to restricted airflow or overheating, check that the outlet grille is clear, allow cooling, and restart.
Q: Can I leave this running all day in an office?
A: Yes, with the thermostat set correctly. Once the room reaches the target temperature the thermostat cycles the element on and off to maintain it, so the heater does not run at full power continuously. Set the level using the rocker switches appropriate for the room size and conditions, dial the thermostat to the desired temperature, and the heater manages itself from there. Always switch off and disconnect when the room is unoccupied overnight.
Q: How does the trip-over switch work?
A: The trip-over switch is a tilt-sensitive safety device built into the base. If the heater is knocked over or tilts beyond a safe angle, the switch cuts power to both elements automatically. Stand the heater upright, allow it to cool, and switch back on at the rocker switches to resume operation.
