Activair trouble free portable heaters

Activair portable heaters have been designed to provide years of trouble free operation:

Casing and stands - are manufactured from galvanised steel, coated with a corrosion resistant paint
Fan motors - are maintenance free, totally enclosed and sealed for life
Elements -  are long life encapsulated stainless steel tubular elements

Activair portable heaters don't need regular maintenance. However, if they are used in very dusty environments,  we recommend the elements and fan are occasionally vacuumed or wiped to remove any heavy build up of dust.

Safety built in as standard

For complete safety Activair portable heaters are equipped with an automatic cut-out with manual reset. The cut-out will operate if the heater overheats for any reason, for example if the air intake or outlet are blocked, or if it is knocked over.

Because our heaters run on electricity there are no naked flames, gas bottles, or noxious fumes, making them much safer than propane or lpg fired heaters.
