Micathermic heaters are designed differently to convector and gas heaters due to the mica panel components inside. Special construction options: Two piece, Euro plug, Terminal box, Expandable, Rectangular box, Custom holes and slots (e. One common complaint, however, is that these micathermic heaters often break after 1 or 2 years, and sometimes the companies are not willing to provide a warranty. It does give off an offensive odor at the beginning, so I recommend placing it outside, running, for 3-4 hours and that should burn off the smell.

Different models of storage heater come with variations, such as including inbuilt fans to help improve the time it takes to heat up a room through convective heating. Protective Insulation: The mica panels act as an electrical insulator which protect from electric shocks and electrical fires.ADJUSTABLE HEAT SETTINGS – The PM830 has two heat settings which allow you to adjust the level of heat being expelled: 1. Also check out the Aironic Digital Heater, the Aironic Panel Heater and the Aironic Convection Heater. Mica technology uses thin sheets of Mica around the heating element which converts the electricity into both convection and radiant heat. I find listening to its slight hum and feeling its warming comfort actually induces me to go to sleep.

Anti-Frost Function: Selecting the snowflake on the thermostat dial allows the heater to keep the room above freezing point. Alternatively, you can use the cool-to-touch handles to lift the lightweight heater and carry it into another room. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.It also has a thermostat which you can programme to gauge when the room is at your desired temperature.

Selecting the snowflake on the thermostat dial allows the heater to keep the room above freezing point. These panels do an incredible job at conducting heat and, thanks to their natural insulating properties, they make the HV180 one of the safest heaters to own. The HV220 is, therefore, a better choice for anyone who suffers from allergies or a respiratory condition.

SAFE TO USE – Surpassing both convector and oil-filled radiators, radiant heaters like the PM830 are safer to use. The type of heat they produce will not dehumidify the air in a room, leaving the space feeling dry and uncomfortable. Lifecycle: Ceramic heaters generally have a longer life expectancy than mica heaters (but this depends on the application and average heat range utilized). NOTE: Do not plug the heater into an extension lead or multi-plug adapter as the heater is too powerful for it.

These panels do an incredible job at conducting heat and, thanks to their natural insulating properties; they make the PM830 one of the safest heaters to own. I stay in one room on the 2nd floor most of the time, wrapped in an electric blanket, so I'm fine with the temperature being about 59°F, but I have small caged pets that shouldn't be subject to below 65°, so I feel like I need to find a way to keep the room at around 60°.
