Wall Mount Electric Heaters

Wall mount electric heaters provide space-saving warmth for industrial and commercial facilities, mounting directly to walls to preserve valuable floor space while delivering targeted heating exactly where needed. Unlike baseboard heaters that run along floor perimeters, wall-mounted units excel in warehouses, shops, and work areas by positioning heat at optimal heights for employee comfort and operational efficiency. Our industrial-grade selection ranges from compact 5,000 BTU units for small offices to powerful 30,000+ BTU systems for large open spaces, with voltage options from standard 120V to industrial 480V configurations.

Available in forced-air, infrared, and ceramic designs, these durable heaters accommodate varied mounting heights, room dimensions, and heating requirements while maintaining clear pathways for equipment and workflow. Facility managers rely on Industrial Fans Direct's expertise to match heating capacity, electrical specifications, and mounting configurations to their specific operational needs, creating comfortable work environments without sacrificing productivity or safety.

How Do I Choose the Right Wall Mount Heater Size for My Space?

Calculating proper heater capacity starts with understanding your space's heat loss factors and desired temperature rise. A standard formula multiplies your room's cubic footage by the required BTU factor (typically 3-5 BTUs per cubic foot for moderate climates, 5-7 for colder regions). A 2,000 square foot warehouse with 20-foot ceilings needs approximately 120,000-200,000 BTUs of heating capacity, which you might achieve with multiple wall-mounted units strategically placed for optimal heat distribution. Consider factors like insulation quality, door traffic frequency, and ceiling height when sizing your system. Industrial spaces with poor insulation or frequent loading dock activity require 20-30% additional capacity to maintain consistent temperatures during peak operation hours.

What Installation Requirements Should I Plan For?

Wall mount electric heaters demand proper electrical infrastructure and strategic placement for safe, efficient operation. Most commercial units require dedicated 208/240V or 480V circuits with appropriate amperage based on heater wattage, typically installed by licensed electricians to meet local code requirements. Mounting height recommendations vary by model but generally range from 2-3 feet for optimal heat distribution and safety clearance from combustible materials. Units should maintain minimum clearances of 3 feet from ceilings and 6 inches from walls, with consideration for airflow patterns that avoid heating obstructions or creating uncomfortable hot spots near workstations. Planning for disconnect switches and thermostatic controls during initial installation saves significant retrofit costs later.

How Can Wall Mount Heaters Reduce My Operating Costs?

Modern wall mount electric heaters deliver zone heating capabilities that dramatically cut energy waste compared to central heating systems. By warming only occupied areas during specific shifts, facilities often reduce heating costs by 30-50% while maintaining comfortable working temperatures where employees actually need them. Units featuring built-in thermostats and programmable controls prevent energy waste during off-hours, while adjustable louvers direct heat precisely where needed rather than warming empty ceiling space. Electric heaters also eliminate combustion-related maintenance costs, ventilation requirements, and fuel storage concerns associated with gas alternatives. The absence of moving parts in many infrared and ceramic models means fewer breakdowns and lower long-term maintenance expenses compared to forced-air systems.
