Savings

The inefficiency of
baseboard and wall-insert
fan heaters is caused by
the accumulation of hot air
below the ceiling (known as
the “cushion effect”) and by
the ineffective diffusion of
heat. This phenomenon
causes the heat to be
unevenly distributed
throughout the room and
increases temperature
variations and heat loss
through walls and windows.
It also raises your heating
costs. Moreover,
baseboards frequently
discolor the surrounding
walls, while fan heaters
need frequent cleaning to
avoid overheating.

Convectair's Melody line of
wallmount convection
heaters circulate gentle
heat evenly and silently
(no fan!) throughout the
room for better comfort
and up to 30% more
energy efficiency and
they do it saving valuable
wall space.The integrated
electronic thermostat,
sensitive to 1/10^oC, close
to the floor and eliminates
the highs and lows that
often cause discomfort.
Note that a Convectair
may be mounted anywhere
in the room. The same
comfort and efficiency will
be achieved.

Efficiency

The special shape of
Convectair convection units
creates a “chimney effect."
In other words, the flow
of hot air is naturally
accelerated inside the unit,
causing the hot air to be
pushed directly to the front
of the unit and not toward
the window, wall or ceiling.
Wasteful heat loss
becomes a thing of the past.

CONVECTAIR HEATERS

We all have different priorities and concerns in life, and our individual needs are very specific. Convectair knows this, and that’s why each unit in the Convectair line has been ingeniously designed and produced with precision and care to meet the high quality standards that make Convectair unique.

At Convectair, we believe that every problem has a solution! Take the time to read this section and you’ll see that, when it comes to home heating, we share your concerns.

Convectair is much more than just another way of heating. Find out for yourself!

Use the Convectair calculator to find out how many watts you need.

	The Comfort of Even Heat
	A Common Problem
	We all know that hot air rises to the ceiling, while cool air remains at floor level. If you use a thermometer to measure the temperature near the ceiling and then at floor level, you’ll note a considerable difference. Natural convection heating units use this phenomenon to turn a potential problem into a better solution.
	The Convectair Solution
	The Convectair heating unit naturally draws in the cool air along the floor and then reheats it, using a highly efficient patented heating element. The heated air rises in the unit and is gently diffuse through the grilles at the top.
	The intake of cool air from the bottom of the unit and the output of warm air from the top is known as the “chimney effect.” This natural acceleration pushes the hot air to the front of the unit rather than towards the wall, and helps the heat to spread evenly throughout the entire room. Hot and cool air mix more rapidly and efficiently. You feel much more comfortable, since the degree of warmth that you’ve selected is the same throughout the entire room. With Convectair, cold feet are a thing of the past! But that’s not all: convection reduces heating costs, since the heat produced is distributed more efficiently and evenly. And since a natural convection Convectair unit doesn’t require a motor or fan, it operates in total silence.
	The Convectair Advantage
	The equation is simple: more comfort for less money. You’ll appreciate the Convectair advantage!

	The Comfort of Consistent Temperature
	A Common Problem
	Thermostats are traditionally installed on an interior wall at a height of five feet (1.5 meters). Sometimes, only one thermostat controls the heating system of an entire house. It’s easy to understand why the temperature varies from one room to another and why overall comfort is an impossible goal.
	Installed at the usual height, a wall thermostat can’t detect cooler air at floor level. The cooler air must reach the thermostat before the heating kicks in. This phenomenon causes major temperature differences between the floor and ceiling. Your feet get cold, even if the thermostat displays the temperature you’ve selected. Most people react by turning the thermostat up a degree. A while later, the room gets too hot. You turn down the thermostat again and . . . the yo-yo match has begun! You never reach a true comfort level, and you waste energy, too. An electronic wall thermostat is more precise, but you’re not much further ahead, as the temperature is still measured at a height of five feet (1.5 meters) from the floor.
	The Convectair Solution:
	Almost all Convectair units come with a built-in, ultra-sensitive electronic thermostat, accurate to 1/10^oC (1/5^oF), with a thermostat probe mounted only four inches (10 centimeters) off the floor. Convectair units thus react faster, since the thermostat more accurately detects temperature fluctuations at floor level, where the cooler air accumulates. At the same time, differences in temperature between the floor and ceiling are reduced considerably. Add natural convection, which gently moves the heat throughout the room, and you reach an unbeatable comfort level, with temperature variations of only 1/10^oC (1/5^oF). Other types of heating that use mechanical wall thermostats produce temperature fluctuations of 4^oC to 6^oC (7^oF to 11^oF). The following diagram compares the two systems.

	Silence
	A Design Priority
	Right from the very start of the design process, achieving truly silent heating is high on our list of design priorities.
	A Common Problem :
	If you have baseboard heaters in your home, you’ve heard their trademark crackling as they heat up or cool down. Fan-forced wall-insert heaters are even worse, noisily starting and stopping as the temperature goes up and down. With forced air, the furnace makes a noise every time it starts up. And with hot-water radiators, the sound of water gurgling through the radiators, which causes them to expand, is likely to be annoying, especially during the night. When you heat with Convectair natural convection heaters, you hear nothing but the sound of silence!
	The Convectair Solution :
	There are many reasons why our units don’t make any noise: the quality of the materials, the care and precision with which they are assembled, and the design itself. But the main factor is our unique heating element. It consists of an X-shaped monoblock that is surface-treated to heat more efficiently, with no expansion noise. This element is an exclusive Convectair design, produced in our factories specially for our units. The natural convection design also avoids the need for a fan. You'll know that your Convectair heater is working by the comfort you feel.


	Customer Protection
	Convectair units are covered by a double warranty: a two-year warranty against all manufacturing and material defects,and a five-year warranty on the heating element. This warranty applies from the date of purchase or the date of installation, depending on the specific conditions outlined in the warranty. Full warranty information is available with each unit. We are committed to ongoing research and development, and therefore reserve the right to modify our products without prior notice.

Safety, A Design Priority
Everyone has heard at least
one horror story of a child who was burnt by a radiator,or of plastic toys that little hands have slipped into a baseboard heater,or of someone who has received an electric shock while getting out of the bathtub.
At Convectair, producing heating units with maximum safety and minimum risk has always been a high priority. Children can’t reach the heating element, and the slats on the grilles prevent objects from slipping in. With normal use, our units do not become hot enough to cause burns, and they meet all Canadian and American safety standards.

As an added safety measure, the flap protecting the thermostat can be locked. And should a unit ever get too hot, an auto-reset safety device turns it off automatically.

All our bathroom heaters come with anti-splash protection, and neither the casing nor the surface grilles of our units have any sharp corners.

Your Role in Heating Safety
Be an informed user! As with any heater, some surfaces of our units may become very hot. Lock the controls and teach children that a heating unit is not a toy. Never leave a child unsupervised near any heater that could get too hot. Our units are designed for maximum safety, but they must be used with care.
