Fahrenheat Ceiling-Mount Automatic 5000 Watt Electric Heater, Model FUH5-4

This product can be classed in the electric garage heaters range as well as for use in domestic situations such as homes and basements, and work places and work spaces.

The Fahrenheat Ceiling-Mount Automatic 5000 Watt Electric Heater is not only able to heat the area up quickly, it also saves on floor space. When the heater is started up, the fan action is delayed until the heating elements have warmed up, which means there is no blast of cold air at start-up. And when the unit has been turned off, the fan keeps running until the heating element has cooled down. A great feature of this electric garage heater is the fact that it has a built-in thermostat. Heat is distributed evenly throughout the entire space thanks to as horizontal heat flow as well as an adjustable down flow, via the 17,065 BTU/hr powerful heating element, which, because it is a plated fin element, discharges the heat evenly.

Below is a customer review of the Fahrenheat Ceiling-Mount Automatic 5000 Watt Electric Heater, Model# FUH5-4 as summarized from a popular online shopping site:

“This is a great, really easy to install electric heater. We have a 1500 square foot basement that is open and unfinished below our house, and we needed to heat it. The basement has a door access to the outside, as well as several windows. We found, much to our delight, that the heater maintained an extremely comfortable temperature throughout the basement, even in the coldest months. In saying that, our basement has been insulated, but we are under the impression that this heater would have done the same thing even if it wasn’t.

We realised that the fan in the heater wasn’t intended to cover the size of our basement, so we improvised by setting up two small five inch fans to help circulate the warm air. We also had a dehumidifier running, so these fans helped circulate the air from this as well. This is a good deal better than getting two or three units! It is also much safer as this single 5000 watt heater only required one circuit, not to mention cheaper to install (if you need a professional to do it for you).

We found that the thermostat did a good job of regulating the temperature and we have now been using this for a couple of years without any problems at all. The delay in the fan start is also a great feature as you avoid any cold blasts of air at the beginning, and the fact it doesn’t turn off until the heat has dissipated is also great.

We found that this setup also managed to heat the upper floor as well, without making it too hot for bear feet. It also helped eliminate creaking from the upper baseboards because there was less cycling.
The fan is relatively quiet, as we had this installed directly below our bedroom, and it was hardly audible in the evenings when we were in bed. All things considered, we think this is a good quality electric garage heater which was very easy to install.”
