Fan Convectors

Fan Convectors

Each of these fan convector heat emitters receives hot water from the central-heating boiler. First, the water passes through a coil inside the unit. Then a fan blows air across the coil delivering heated air to the room. Fan convectors are a good (although more expensive) option when radiant floors are not an option, or when there is not enough wall space for baseboard heaters.
