Why Choose Our Products?

If you’re looking for energy-efficiency and versatility in your heating look no further than the Smith’s range of fan convectors, flame-effect fan convectors and natural convectors.

There are principally two ways to heat a room, either by natural convection or forced convection. Radiators, under-floor heating and perimeter heating use natural convection and fan convectors (and flame-effect fan convectors) use forced-air convection.

The natural convection process

Forced convection process

Energy-efficient

Fan convectors use only 5% of the water content of an equivalent output radiator and will therefore heat a room much faster. They are also much quicker to respond to changing temperatures and with such low water content they use much less energy and are therefore more economical to run.

Central heating system compatible

Fan convectors and flame-effect fan convectors work efficiently within central heating systems regardless of whether they are connected to a typical boiler or renewable technology such as ground and air source heat pumps.

Heat distribution

Fan convectors and flame-effect fan convectors include a small fan so the heat can be quickly distributed around the room to give you a more even temperature spread.

Safe

Unlike radiators which are hot to touch, fan convectors and flameeffect fan convectors have very low surface temperatures making them completely safe and therefore ideal for children and the elderly.

Compact

Fan convectors are more compact than radiators and more versatile. They are designed to install in those ‘dead’ spaces so you don’t have to design the room around the heating.
