Convector Heaters

Convector heaters are a popular choice for quickly and efficiently warming up smaller rooms and living spaces.

Whether you need to take the chill off a home office, heat a bedroom, or add some extra warmth to a lounge, these electric heaters are designed to rapidly heat the air without waiting long to reach comfort temperatures.

Using a built-in heating element, convector heaters work by creating a convection current – drawing in colder air, warming it, and circulating it throughout the room. This makes them a great option for spaces where silent operation, portability and fast performance are key.

At YESSS Electrical, we stock a wide range of electric convector heaters, including models with modern features like an adjustable thermostat, programmable timer, and remote control. These functions help you stay in control of your heating, reduce running costs, and maintain the perfect temperature throughout the day.

Choose between freestanding and wall-mounted options to suit your space – whether you're looking for something portable and lightweight, or a slimline solution to save space on the floor.

Some models even come with other features like fan boost or frost protection for added convenience.

Perfect for infrequent use or as a top-up alongside your central heating, these heaters offer warmth where and when you need it most – without the need to install bulky radiators or plumbed heating systems.

FAQs

How do convector heaters work?

Also known as convection heaters, convector heaters use a heating element to warm the air around them. As colder air rises through the unit, it gets heated and rises, creating a continuous convection current that evenly distributes heat around the room.

Are convector heaters energy efficient?

Yes, they can be. Electric convector heaters are efficient at converting electricity into heat and are ideal for smaller rooms or spaces used infrequently, helping to keep running costs manageable.

What’s the difference between convector heaters and fan heaters?

While both heat rooms quickly, fan heaters use a fan to blow hot air, which can be noisier. Convector heaters rely on natural air movement, offering silent operation that’s better suited for bedrooms or quiet workspaces.

Can convector heaters be wall-mounted?

Many convector heaters are designed to be either freestanding or wall-mounted, giving you flexibility depending on your room layout and preference.

Do convector heaters have thermostats?

Yes, most units come with an adjustable thermostat so you can manage and maintain your preferred temperature. Some also offer a programmable timer or remote control for added convenience and effectiveness.

Are convector heaters safe to use?

Modern convector heaters include safety features like overheat protection, wide, sturdy feet and tip-over switches. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and avoid placing objects directly on or near the heater.

What size room is a convector heater suitable for?

They’re ideal for smaller rooms, such as bedrooms, home offices, or spaces that need a quick heat boost.

Check the product's wattage and room size guidelines to find the best match. An oil heater, fan heater or panel heater may also suit your requirements. View our entire heating range here.

Can I use a convector heater as the main heating source?

They’re best used as a supplementary heating option, but in some cases – like in a well-insulated room or small flat – a convector heater can produce sufficient heat to serve as the primary heat source.
