Can i use this in a Hall Heating unit? 99% of the heat stays in the hallway and doesn't make it to our living room

Probably not the fan is made so that it sits on top of a heating unit specificaly a wood stove. The fans housing conducts heat and converts that into energy to turn the fan. So you need direct heat of 175-200 degrees.

The fan works off of heat. The hotter it gets the faster it spins. If your heater does not get hot enough it will not spin

No. It needs to be on a very hot surface like a wood stove. It will not start spinning until the entire surface if the stove gets very hot

If you are talking about a wood stove yes. I would also use a doorway fan, as the heat rises.

I don't see why not, as long as it is treated in the same manner as a hair dryer - kept away from a water-filled sink or bathtub. I just love this heater. It is so quiet that I can't tell it is running. I work from home full time, and it keep it aimed at my feet as an alternative to raising the thermostat. Why heat the whole house all day when I am in only one room?

Do not see any problem, you will have to put a heat protection at the point where you go through the wall. may need to check with building code requirements for that.

I am. It's going to be relative to the size of your room. I use it in my basement, which is quite large but it's a secondary heat source and helps take the chill off in the winter.

it definitely depends on several factors including climate, ceiling height, amount of insulation in ceiling and walls, and how well the Windows are sealed. This will be our first winter with this particular unit, but I expect it to heat our dining room and living room. I think it is more a question of how many rooms can it heat since it only has one output location compared to central heating. It is more than adequate for any reasonably sized room in a house but will have a challenge heating the whole house.

I don't think so with the high temp there. I hung mine where the former thermostat was in my hallway.

Hello, I only use it in my bathroom which has a wooden floor and it quickly heats up the small room. I can't use it in my living room when the TV is on. It causes a power outage.

I've been using it in my living room (24 X 12) and it keeps the hall and kitchen warm as well. The heating is directly proportional to how well the home is insulated.

Should work fine. I have mine in a dog house. It's 4x8 and 8 feet high. Gets to 40c below here and it keeps it warm in there for my mutt. Walls are press board and there is carpeting in there. It gets warm but if you keep drapes away (like any heater) it will be fine. Make sure the wiring is up to code and get the right voltage thermostat and it works great!!!

It says in the description that it "can be used around the home". But it really doesn't put out enough heat to be used to heat a room in a house if that's what you're thinking of. I would go to Coleman's website and look for further info regarding needed clearance.

Look elsewhere. The fan has a hard time keeping 147sq ft room warm. It constantly running and never hits the temperature.

I purchased the Holmes Heater with Programmable Timer & Bathroom Safe Plug, HFH436WGL-UM that another reader recommended. Do not buy it if you have a large master bathroom. The heat it puts out is warm and not really hot. I set it in the winter to turn on 30 minutes before I get up (it runs for a max of 45), and the bathroom is barely warmer than my bedroom and the house is set to stay at 65 deg.

I put this heater/fan/light in the bathroom of my last home. What I remember is I was very happy with it regarding the heat provided in the winter and overall performance but I can't remember for certain the answer to your question. Perhaps you can find the users or technical manual online.

I have this same model in my basement bath and heats fine. The unit requires infrared heat lamps to produce the heat. Hope you have the right bulbs.

I do not think so. I love it. It actually makes my front room very toasty and the heat goes down my hall way. As soon as I can afford another one, I am going to purchase it. Do not be afraid to buy this, it works great! Donna

Probably not that well: we are using ours in a room that is approx. 15 feet by 20 feet with 15 foot ceilings--2 walls are glass (no insulation). Unless you are on top of the heater, not feeling much warmth.

I have one of these heaters. It should have no problem with a room that size.
