is this fan forced ? or radiant heat
1095233
It is radiant heat (Quartz and Convection Radiant Heater), there is no fan. I am sitting in front of it now. Have had it since November and I am still very happy with it. I heat a small, well insulated, room with it (no other heat source in this room).***Watch my other electric appliances and lights to balance the cost of running the heater.******http://www.conservingelectricity.com/ElectricSpaceHeaters.asp*** Working out well. Hope this helps.

It has no internal fan. It is open on the top so heat come out the top and front. I use ceiling fans to move the heat around.

The fan should be running but it should NOT be loud. I'd return it for a new one.

Yes, the fan run constantly, even when not heating. It's actually nice (in my opinion) that it maintains a fairly constant state of white noise, rather than fully shutting down.

Mine pull the heat *out* and it works great. Dramatic difference compared to no fans.

I don't have a bill to look at yet, but I bet its something like using an A/C alot. The little red part is a simple heater/fan with only two settings: on or off. Sorry can't give more info. I highly doubt the electricity cost comes close to the alternative, which I guess would be hiring a professional service to heat treat your things? And of course, I'd recommend wiping down, washing, or getting rid of anything you can, to keep the heat treating loads to a minimum.

I think it depends on the mode you have selected. Once our room is heated to the desired level, we usually choose a manual mode so we do not have the fan cycling. I suggest trying different modes, and if fan cycles on and off in each mode, you may have a problem. Good luck.

The fan is not that forceful blowing out heat. It does however pack a punch and heats a large master bedroom without a problem at all. I have two fireplaces and they virtually hear the upstairs. My heating costs have dropped bout 20 percent since purchasing them.

The fan only comes on at high demand, when the unit is generating a lot of heat due to the load.I have been using the unit daily in my semi to power my laptop, printer, and charge the phone, and have yet to put enough load on it to engage the fan. I did load it up when I first got it with a soldering gun and a vacuum, and the fan was virtually silent. This inverter does all its supposed to do, and more.

It seems like the bigger the load the more the fan runs. It must be temp controlled as the fan goes on and off.

I asked the same question to manufacturer; they said yes it was normal. Sometimes my fan would not even start until there was enough heat generated for it kick in. I can only surmise that the machine is smarter than me!

the unit has a fan, it is forced air. The very best electric space heater I have found.

It's has a fan turbo mode. And I also habe a small USB fan that I sit behind it as an exhaust. But no troubles with heat

No....the heater has two settings. High and Low but the fan must be running when it is emitting heat.

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

fan is to exhaust heat from bulb and with duct directed. light can run without fan. bulb last longer supposedly

Hi there. Your front fan should be blowing cooler air in. That is as long as your fan in the back is blowing the warmer air out. Hope that helps

I do not know. It was expensive, I know that and I don't think the fan is very forceful.
