Ceiling Fan Heater
Finding the right ceiling fan heater for your home
You need good, valuable information about ceiling fan heaters so you will be able to make an informed decision about these products. Before you buy one, you obviously want to make sure you're making the right decision.
One primary reason that people consider purchasing a ceiling fan with heater is because they are interested in saving money on the heating costs for their home. What you will find out here is that these ceiling fans are very energy efficient and can definitely help lower your heating costs.
How can a ceiling fan heater help?
Standard heating systems are inefficient. This includes whole house heating systems as well as room heater systems, such as space heaters. These types of systems cause hot and cold spots and allow the heat they generate to rise straight to the ceiling where it stays.
The ductwork in your home, used for a whole home system, can be as much as 50% inefficient since it allows the heat from the furnace to cool down as it travels from the furnace to its destination.
Reiker has a heated ceiling fan system that operates differently from the traditional system you're used to. How it works is that it incorporates a heater within the ceiling fan. As the heat is generated, it is pushed down and circulated throughout the room. This creates a more even heat throughout the entire room.
Another benefit of the Reiker ceiling fan heater is that it is remote control operated. When you want to adjust the settings, all you need to do is use the remote control that is provided. As a bonus, programmable remotes are also available that will allow you to use a single remote control to control each of the ceiling fan heaters that you install in your home.
If you're concerned about how these fans will blend in with your decor, there's no need to worry about that either. Reiker's fans are available in a legend white, brushed nickel, textured white, or swiss gold finish.
Reiker Room Conditioner – Legend White Specifications
The legend white heated ceiling fan is available in a 52 inch version. This model is capable of heating a 20' X 20' room with 10' ceilings. This model features an integrated light kit and includes the bulb. It comes with color coordinated white blades.
The fan features two different mounting options. You can either mount it as a flush mount or you have the option to use a 6" downrod. This fan is rated at 1500 Watts, 12.5 Amps, 120 Volts, and 5000 BTUs. It has a reversible motor and weighs 35 pounds.
The other cool feature? It comes with a computer controlled remote control. No need to get up from your comfortable chair to adjust the settings.
Reiker Room Conditioner – Brushed Nickel Specifications
The brushed nickel model has the same basic specifications as the legend white model with the exception that it is a 54 inch instead of 52 inch fan. Even so, it is also rated to heat a 20' X 20' room with 10' ceilings.
The brushed nickel model also has the integrated light kit, with bulb included, two mounting options, reversible, and the same power and BTU specifications. It also weighs 35 pounds.
The blades for this fan can be attached to show either a black finish or a cherry finish, depending on your preference.
Again, this ceiling fan heater features the computer controlled remote control for your convenience.
Reiker Room Conditioner – Textured White Finish Specifications
Once again, the ratings on the textured white finish ceiling fan heater are the same as on the first two fans that I described. All features for this fan, including the remote, are the same. This is a 54" fan.
Reiker Ceiling Fan With Heater – Swiss Gold Finish Specifications
The final model is actually my personal favorite and that is the swiss gold finish.
This Reiker room conditioner is the same as the others and is a 54" fan with the same specifications. The only real difference is the finish. With this model, you can mount the blades to show either a swiss gold finish or a white finish. This, of course, is your option when you assemble the fan.
Installation of the fan
If you've ever installed a standard ceiling fan, you definitely won't have any problems installing this one.
Reiker's ceiling fan heaters come with an excellent instruction manual to help you along. Wiring for this fan is no different than any other ceiling fan that you might have installed in the past. If you already have wiring in place for a ceiling fan, you're in business. It uses the standard 3 wire connection that you're used to seeing.
All the hardware that you might need is included with the fan. You can choose to either mount the fan flush to the ceiling or you can use the included 4 inch, or 6 inch, downrods. If you need a longer downrod, 12 inch, 18 inch, and 24 inch downrods are also available but not included with the fans.
Ceiling Fan Heater Warranty
These ceiling fan heaters are warranted to be free from defects and workmanship and material present at time of shipment from the factory and for a lifetime after the date of purchase of the remote control ceiling fan with heater by the original purchaser.
