Fertraso Ceramic heater 3kW

A ceramic fan heater with two heating levels, 1.5 and 3 kW, moving 310 m³ of air per hour. It weighs 3.34 kg, measures 19.7 by 23.8 by 25.1 cm and sits in a powder-coated steel housing with an insulated carrying handle.

The air volume counts as much as the wattage

With a fan heater people usually look only at the kilowatts, but the 310 m³ per hour this one moves decides how that heat reaches the room. A heater with plenty of power but little airflow builds a warm column right in front of itself and leaves the rest of the room cold. One that blows the heat away immediately distributes it.

In practice: stand it so those 310 m³ per hour have somewhere to go, with a clear run into the room, and not with the outlet against a wall or a tray.

Two levels, and when to use which

Level 1 gives 1.5 kW, level 2 gives 3 kW. The difference in use is the same as with any heating: the high level is for bringing a room up to temperature, the low one for holding it there. The thermostat controls both the fan and the heating, and the fan motor has a thermal cutout so it only runs when heat is called for.

There is a frost-watch function too: you can leave it set low in a space that simply must not freeze, a shed or a cellar holding equipment or stock.

54 dB is audible

This heater produces 54 dB(A). That is not a disruptive level for a working space, but it is more than the circulation fans in this range and clearly audible in a small, closed room. If it runs next to somewhere that has to stay quiet, expect to hear it. The thermostat helps: it lets the heater stand still once the temperature is reached.

Dry heat

Nothing is burned, so no moisture and no combustion gases are released and no oxygen is used. That suits rooms where you specifically do not want the humidity going up, which is what happens with a gas or paraffin heater.

Frequently asked questions

How large a space can it heat?
That depends on the insulation and how cold it is outside. The high level is meant for reaching temperature, the low one for holding it.

Can I use it as a frost watch?
Yes. Set low it keeps a space above freezing.

How loud is 54 dB?
Audible, more than a circulation fan. With the thermostat it stands still once the temperature is reached.

Does it give off moisture?
No. Nothing is burned, so you get dry heat with no combustion gases.

Where should it stand?
On a level surface with a clear run for the outlet, away from fabric and sheeting. Never cover it.
