Everyone knows that the warmer air in a room rises to the ceiling pushing the cooler air to the floor of the room.  This is proven by taking a thermometer and taking a temperature read near the ceiling of a room and another near the floor.  The differences in the temperatures should be considerable.  This tends to cause a problem as people tend to occupy the space near the floor of a room more then near the ceiling as towards the floor is where couches, beds and chairs are located.

The ConvectAir Solution
ConvectAir heating units help solve the above problem with their unique heating systems.  Each ConvectAir heater pulls air into the unit from the floor and pushes warm air out the top of the unit.  This causes the air to circulate around the room and makes the temperature more even throughout the area, see figure 1.0 for an example.

Energy Savings
The ConvectAir solution mentioned above can cause a significant reduction in energy used in a number of ways.  Most home thermostats are located on the wall roughly 5-6 feet above the floor.  With the thermostat in this position it is unable to properly read the temperatures near the floor and ceiling of the room.  The rapid mixture of warm air into the entire room from a ConvectAir heater causes a more even temperature throughout the room and therefore negating the thermostat position in the room.

Another good energy saving is the heater’s effect on humans.  People tend to turn up the thermostat in the room when they are feeling a little cold.  This is because all the warm air from a standard heater is located near the ceiling.  Since ConvectAir heaters mix the air in a better fashion then standard heaters users are not as likely to turn the thermostat higher to get warm.  This in turn causes the heater to not be running as long and not using as much energy.  For this fact alone users are likely to have a ConvectAir heater pay for itself in energy costs alone.

Safety
Everyone has heard of stories of a child who was burnt by a radiator or heater or of little toys getting stock in between the heater coils of a baseboard heater.  ConvectAir heaters have safety as a high priority from design all the way through production.  All ConvectAir heaters have slats over the grilles to prevent object from slipping into the heater and come with rounded corners to prevent injuries.  Every one of the heaters also comes with a lockable saftey flap over the tempature control and built in automatic disable devices in case a heater gets too hot.  This ensures that the heater will not be hot enough to cause burns if someone accidently touches the heaters protective cover.

Peace of Mind
All ConvectAir heaters are protected by a double warranty.  A two year warranty against all manufacturing and material defects and a five year warranty against the heating element itself.  Both warranties become active on the date of purchase rather then the manufactured date as on most products.  Full warranty information for each unit is available on ConvectAir’s website located at www.convectair.com.
