For several years in Europe, the most popular heaters are electric convectors. In America, people are interested in oil heaters the old-fashioned way. What are the best features of electric convectors and why they are considered the best heating devices??
A convector is a heater that heats rooms through the process of convection. With convection the appliance heats the air which rises upwards. The place of the already warm air is taken by the still cold air remember physics, the cold air is always at the bottom that causes active air circulation in the room, and it is quickly brought up to the desired temperature. With this method of heating the room is uniform throughout the volume.
The basic components of the convector – the case and the tubular heating element. The convector is situated 10-15 cm floor, “classic” variant or 20-30 cm wall mounting above the floor. This arrangement is responsible for the maximum rate of air heating in the room. Thanks to the simple installation and reliable design, electric convectors became popular all over the world.
In addition to heating the house, an electric convector is ideal for creating a comfortable temperature in a small office. Just place the heater near the workplace and the employee will feel comfortable on a dank, rainy autumn day. The power of the heating element can be adjusted by the regulator, and this is also an important advantage of the device.
Even more popular convectors gives the design, modern electric convector fits into almost any interior, because the body can be painted in any color and give the device any shape, even the most futuristic.
Advantages of electric convectors:
– Good heat output and high speed of heating the room.
– High efficiency of 90-95%.
– Floor-standing for device mobility and wall-mounted for stationary installation .
– Reliable and safe design: front panel does not get hotter than 90°C, no sharp angles.
– Absolutely silent operation if the fan is not included .
– Corrosion-resistant coating and moisture-proof housing allows you to use the device in rooms with high humidity.
– Wide price range.
Disadvantages:
– Lack of power for large areas. But this can be solved by installing several convectors.
– Drying the air in the room.
The devices are equipped both with mechanical and electronic control panel. On the most advanced and, accordingly, the most expensive models have an LED-display.
Modern models are supplemented with the following options:
– Ionizer. Combines the functions of heating and prevention of various diseases. Ionizer can work even when the convector is off.
– Antifreezing. Automatically turns on heating when room temperature falls below +5°C.
– Restart. The device remembers the settings set by the user and turns them on automatically the next time you start the device. Very useful in case of power failure.

Description
The design of the device is developed in the Scandinavian Timberk studio. It is distinguished by simplicity and austerity. All details are functional, there are no sharp and delicate angles, the device is absolutely injury-free.
The convector is adapted to American operation conditions – resistant to power line voltage fluctuations -20%/+15% , which is important in our rural and urban environment.
PowerProof technology and three heating power levels provide significant energy savings.
In the convector we used Heating Energy Balance technology – the latest production system of low-temperature heating elements, which reduces the heating rate of the electric appliance to 75 seconds, while caring about the environmental air.
ProLife Safety System technology is used to extend the life of the unit. This is a multi-stage protection of the appliance, which increases the life of the appliance up to 10 years or more.
Laplandia series is characterized by a minimum temperature of heating surface of the body, which makes it safe for families with small children and pets. Product quality and reliability standards meet the strictest guidelines of the European Union.
The Aerodynamic Flow technology: patented design of the shell, to create a perfect convection current, for a faster and more efficient heating. The French size has a distinct advantage: It is more compact and lighter than conventional heaters.
TRIO-EOX F X-element: professional monolithic heating element of the latest generation increases the efficiency up to 99%.
Everything you need for wall or floor mounting is included.
Functional design, low price and high quality.
I would like to have a wider color range.

How efficient are Timberk mini electric convectors in terms of energy consumption? Are they suitable for heating large rooms or just smaller spaces?
How efficient is the Timberk mini electric convector at quickly and evenly heating up an entire room? Can it maintain a consistent temperature throughout the space?
The efficiency of the Timberk mini electric convector in quickly and evenly heating up an entire room depends on various factors such as the size of the room, insulation, and external temperature. Generally, convector heaters provide fast heating due to their fan-powered technology. However, the effectiveness may vary. As for maintaining a consistent temperature throughout the space, convectors are designed to distribute heat evenly, but potential heat loss in poorly insulated rooms or open areas can affect consistency. It is recommended to ensure proper insulation and consider the room’s features before relying solely on the convector for consistent temperature maintenance.
