Air Curtain Heaters

Retail outlets and restaurants have significant heating requirements. Even if you have central heating, with your doors open you are losing the heat through your doors. Air curtain heaters are a fantastic way of keeping the warm air inside whilst having your doors open for business.

Air Curtain Heater

Often referred to as an electric fan heater, the air curtain heater provides you with a constant flow of air over your doorway. This air curtain prevents the cool or warm air from escaping from your premises. This maintains the environment pleasant and comfortable. The air curtain heaters have been designed to keep you warm and cozy in your shop front or restaurant.

The power ratings of the air curtain heaters in our range give freedom of choice. Rated from 3kW to 6kW you can keep your shop warm no matter the size. You have the choice between wall mounted electric heater or a recessed roof-mounted unit.

Air Curtain Heaters FAQ

What is an air curtain heater?

These heating devices are commonly found in commercial spaces such as shopping malls and retail outlets. They are installed as an overhead heater that gently blows air onto people walking inside an establishment. This is intended to keep establishments warm and cosy, especially during the cold winter days.

The reason why commercial establishments are the most common users of air curtain heaters is that they have a high heating requirement. Because of this, there’s a high chance that cold air can easily come into the building through the door, which usually remains open for customers. Having an air curtain heater can help prevent this.

Can I use air curtain heaters in my home?

Yes, you can definitely use air curtain heaters in your own place. They are an excellent way of making your home a more welcoming and warm place. You’ll get the most out of air curtain heaters if you have a spacious house and live somewhere cold most days of the year. It can also make the visit of friends and close relatives better since they’ll be welcomed by a gentle sheet of warm air as they enter your home.

Entrances such as doors will also have climate protection. This means that no matter how low the temperature is outside, there’s a far lesser chance that it can affect the warmth of your living space.

Do air curtains keep flies out?

While air curtain heaters aren’t primarily designed against flies and other insects, the blast of air in your doorway can definitely help keep them out. This is why commercial spaces need to have air curtain heaters to help make their space sanitary. The chances of flies coming into their place is higher because their doors and other entryways are open most of the time.

If you also have open entryways in your home, you can also opt to install an air curtain heater in your home.

What is the purpose of air curtain heaters?

Air curtain heaters are an excellent way in keeping the temperature of any establishment free from the influences of external weather factors. The blast of warm air creates an “invisible door” on your entryways and helps keep warmth inside your home or building. 

Because of this, you can save your heaters and radiators from unnecessary wear and tear due to frequent heavy usage. Consequently, you can also save money from electric bills especially if the design of your building or home has an open entryway for whatever reason. However, if you have excellent insulation in your home (closed doors and windows and insulated walls), having a high-quality radiator might suffice.

How big should my air curtain heater be?

Since air curtain heaters aren’t mainly designed to heat up an entire room, their power rating shouldn’t matter that much. What you need to see is if they got a powerful enough fan to create the “invisible door” of air in your doors and other entryways where you want to install them.

Do air curtains save energy?

Yes, they do. Especially if you have a huge area that requires heating all day long and is intended to have its door or other entryways open. Testing shows that air curtain heaters can keep cold air from getting inside a given space. Because of this, your electricity-powered heaters won’t work as much since the temperature inside its space will be kept at a certain level for a long time.

Its energy-saving features can be more highlighted if you have an electric heater that comes with an automatic temperature detector. These heaters usually adjust their heat output when it senses that temperatures are continually dropping. Consequently, this will increase the energy it consumes in the long run.

Are air curtains only for temperature control?

While air curtain heaters are mainly designed and used for temperature control inside a certain establishment, they can also have other purposes. Most models come with half heat or fan-only settings to keep their energy consumption low. This can be helpful if you’re located somewhere warmer during some months of the year.

This is because you no longer have to use their heat as much as when the weather is cold.

How do you install air curtain heaters?

There are two major ways you can mount an air curtain heater in your place. Some units can are designed to be wall-mounted. There are also some recessed roof-mounted that differ slightly in the position where you’d install them, however, they still work the same and have the same level of effectiveness in keeping your place warm.

How do you control air curtain heaters?

Most air curtain heaters come with remote controls that help you change the settings of your air curtain heaters with ease. They either come with Bluetooth connectivity or the traditional wireless remote control that uses infrared.
