Best Electric Heat Guns for Home for 2020

The specificity of the climate on the territory of Russia determines the high demand for heating equipment. This is especially true of the so-called "Khrushchevs", where existing heating radiators do not always cope with heating the room. As for new houses, there is less demand for climatic equipment - mainly during the periods from the first cold snap to turning on the heating, that is, for temporary heating. Due to these factors, the modern electrical equipment market offers various fan heaters for the home. Electric heat guns are one of the popular types. The editors of the site "bestx.htgetrid.com/en/" will help you figure out how to choose the most suitable heat gun for you.

Types of electric heat guns

It is no secret that not every type of heating equipment can be used in residential premises. For example, a gas cannon, which is capable of capturing a large heating area, is not only undesirable to put in an apartment, but also dangerous. The same is true for the diesel variants.

Therefore, the best option would be to give preference to electric ones.

What are the electric heaters:

• Heat guns. This subgroup belongs to the most budgetary options, since it has a very simple principle of operation. At the same time, it quickly heats the air and keeps the heat in the room well. The disadvantages include the fact that the air becomes burnt over time and ventilation is required. The most preferable in residential premises will be the use of inexpensive low-power fan heaters.

• Oil batteries are very similar to conventional batteries. The only difference is that instead of water, oil circulates in them. This version of heaters is especially popular in offices where, due to the large number of people, a gentle mode of exposure to the atmosphere of the room is required.

• Infrared... This type is often referred to as a "separate story". However, it is powered by electricity, which means it belongs to this group. The bottom line is in the infrared heating of the hotel elements around them. This way you can keep heat in a certain area without wasting it on the whole room. The savings are evident. Nevertheless, infrared lamps themselves are with a fairly high average price, which is why the popularity of models of this type is inferior to their competitors.
• Convectors... According to some ratings, and in the opinion of some buyers, it is convectors that are the most efficient in terms of heating. And this happens due to natural air circulation: cold air enters the lower part of the device, hot air comes out of the upper. This is how the natural movement of air occurs, because cold air is always lower than warm. However, to heat a large room, very high powers are required. In this regard, it will be more expedient to use convectors in small and medium-sized areas.
• Thermal curtains. The latter option is rarely used at home. However, he definitely deserves attention.The thermal curtain is an excellent helper in places where the door is constantly opening / closing or even remaining open. The advantages of the curtains are that, due to the powerful air flow, they create an air barrier that does not allow the cold to enter the room, and the heat to leave. Also, a big plus is that the heat curtain can be used in summer - without heating. In this case, the flow will keep the conditioning “products” inside.

In addition to the difference in the principles of operation, heaters are also classified according to the type of fuel, power, shape and material.

Electric heat guns

Since our eyes fell on this type of heaters, it is worth taking a closer look at the technical characteristics of the guns: power, material of the heating element, shape of the device, etc.

Device shape

It would seem, what's the difference, the cylindrical structure of the cannon or rectangular. But there is a difference. Round views are usually designed to be flown to a specific area, while trapezoidal ones evenly distribute air in all directions. Accordingly, if the gun is used to dry surfaces, then the shape of the body should be taken into account in order to achieve an effect more quickly.

Heating element material

There are 3 types: ceramic, spiral and heating element. The first option is the most expensive among its "colleagues", since they use ceramic plates, which provide a large heating area and burn oxygen much less.

Spiral is, on the contrary, the cheapest of this list. In terms of heating speed, it is higher, but in terms of the rest of the functionality it is inferior. So, for example, if among the criteria for choosing a gun you have a high degree of fire safety, then it is better to give preference to the ceramic version or heating element.

The heating element is a tube filled with quartz sand. In fact, it is an advanced coil. But, unlike the progenitor, the heating element serves much longer and is more fireproof.

Power

This indicator ranges from 1 kW to 50. The most popular are 2, 3 and 5 kW. As mentioned above, those guns, the power of which exceeds 5000 W, operate on a 380 V. And in general, we understand how much the use of bulky electric guns costs - very expensive.

Other

This section includes a complete set of goods of individual brands (Resanta, Ballu), the presence of external elements (knob, wheels) and the number of adjusting "twists".

Today, you can buy a heat gun in almost any hardware store, as well as order it online in an online store. But the latter option carries with it some danger, since at a regular outlet you can always consult with a specialist. When buying online, you will only have a chance to talk to an operator (who is hardly a specialist in this field). It is important then, before making a purchase, at least to read the product reviews.

TOP 11 Best Electric Heat Guns for Home for 2020

It's time to move away from general theoretical knowledge to more specific examples, figure out which gun is better, and make a rating of quality representatives of this market segment. We hope that this rating will help you decide which unit is better to buy. So, to your attention the TOP-11 rating of the best electric heat guns for 2020.

I would like to say right away that our TOP will be limited to models up to 5 kW. Because, as a rule, higher power units require a voltage of 380 V, which is extremely rare in apartments. In private houses more often, but also not always.

11th place - ZUBR ZTP-M1-3000

Our rating is opened by the Russian company ZUBR. In general, their branded guns diverge well due to their low cost. The quality is, of course, appropriate. However, when used correctly, ZTP-M1-3000 can do a good job.

A heating element is used as a heating element. During operation, there is no rumbling, cracking, and the noise is acceptable.What else to look for? It should be noted that "twists" with temperature control and flow rate. And this is a big minus.

Benefits:

Disadvantages:

Output:

A Russian-made cannon from the ZUBR company cannot be said to have won the hearts of consumers. Nevertheless, due to the availability of ZTP-M1-3000, it successfully booked the 11th line.

[ball10 place - Quattro Elementi QE-2000C [/ ball]

The next item is the heater from Qattro Elementi. It is less powerful than its counterpart with a line lower, but the efficiency is higher. This is due to the ceramic heating element and the ability to regulate the flow rate. Plus, ceramics dries the air much less than a spiral or heating element. Also the QE-2000C comes with a fan function. Another advantage is its compactness - the device weighs less than 2 kg.

The gun also has its disadvantages, but they are mainly due to its low power.

Benefits:

Disadvantages:

Output:

A good device with fast heating and a long service life will be useful for heating small rooms, for drying objects, etc.

9th place - Resanta TEPK-3000K

The Latvian-made cannon is very popular in the Russian market. Lightweight and convenient TEPK, unlike the TEP series, comes with a ceramic element. Of course, this fact greatly affects the operation of the device. Dust and oxygen are not burned.

"Three-kilovatka" is capable of warming up a room approximately (depending on insulation and other factors) up to 35 squares.

Benefits:

Disadvantages:

Output:

Confident 8th place. It differs favorably with ceramics in composition, as well as compactness. But with reliability, not everything is so simple, because only the 8th line.

8th place - Ballu BHP-P-3

Another great heating and heating technology comes into play. Choosing a Ballu cannon will definitely not make a mistake. In particular, with the BHP-P-3, for example, the direction of the cannon can be adjusted and directed to a convenient location. In addition, it should be said that the gun itself extends its service life. So, after turning off the unit, it continues to work for about 2 - 5 minutes, so the heating elements last longer.

The disadvantages include considerable cost, noise, etc.

Benefits:

Disadvantages:

Output:

Ballu makes guns conscientiously: performance, functionality, etc. In general, among devices up to 3 kW, BHP-P-3 is perhaps the best.

7th place - Wester TB-5 / CT

The first representative of 5 kW guns was a heater from Wester. Despite the Chinese origin (today this prejudice is still valid, but it is, for the most part, doubtful), the assembly was carried out very well. The set of adjustments, durability and other positive qualities make TB-5 / CT a worthy competitor to well-known brands.

Its weakness was found only in the poor performance of the fan.

Benefits:

Disadvantages:

Output:

A reliable option for those who need constant operation of the thermal heater.

6th place - Interskol TPE-5

Not a bad cannon of domestic production, which, despite its high-quality work, is not very common. However, the unit itself should not be blamed for this. Interskol is not unambiguous. And some difficulties in the company and its sales market (at one time there were not many places where you could buy a tool) negatively affected the demand for the tool. Currently, everything is getting better, which means that the power tool of this brand has a future. The same applies to TPE-5.

The five-kilowatt heater delivers a capacity of 400 cubic meters. At the same time, the air consumption is small - oxygen is not burned, like dust. However, with such a power, you need to know about the necessary network parameters: 5 kW is not a small power. The downside is that for some reason an electric plug is not included with the gun.

Benefits:

Disadvantages:

Output:

TPE-5 is an excellent option for large areas. It is only important that the electrician is in order.

5th place - Resanta TEPK-5000K

I would like to start the description of the 5th place with Resanta. There was already one model from this manufacturer in the ranking. And there is a reason to talk about the Latvian company for the second time.

TEPK-5000K contains a ceramic heater, which automatically makes its use safe for health: low noise level, non-burnt air, etc.

As in the previous model, there are complaints about the quality of the device. For example, heating of the case or the health of the thermostat. Nevertheless, the advice of many buyers tilts the market in favor of the growing popularity of PETK-5000K.

Benefits:

Disadvantages:

Output:

TEPK-5000K is in its place in the rating. Let's hope that the company will continue to develop and work, both on the quality of existing products and on new products.

4th place - ELITECH TV 5EK

The Elitech cannon continues our ranking and brings us very close to the top three. Despite the five in the name, the gun produces only 4.5 kW of power. Nevertheless, even with this, it can heat 45-50 square meters of the room.

The heating element is made of stainless steel. This means that the operating time and service life of both the heating element and the entire gun will be higher than that of other guns.

It so happens that the gun automatically switches to fan mode when it overheats. But then, for the heating to work again, you must restart the device.

Benefits:

Disadvantages:

Output:

A very good model with many advantages. Some trifles were not enough to reach the top three.

3rd place - Ballu BHP-PE-5

Ballu confidently represents its candidate on the third step of the podium. Professionals in their field always delight us with quality products. So, for example, and BHP-PE-5. The device is quite lightweight, but at the same time, durable and reliable stainless steel. The cannon is capable of heating an area up to 50 squares (the maximum possible temperature is 60 degrees). The heating element is also made of stainless steel. The manufacturer gives a 2-year warranty.

Benefits:

Disadvantages:

Output:

A great option, and affordable.

2nd place - NeoClima TPK-5

The closest to the first place was NeoClima with their TPK-5. In terms of technical characteristics, for the most part it does not differ from Ballu, but it takes on the price. Otherwise: the same heating area - 50 square meters, the same reliable protection by a thermostat, the same stainless steel heating element, etc.

The downside, albeit relative, is the "native" power plug, which will have to be altered to fit the usual one if there are no conditions for the power plug.

Benefits:

Disadvantages:

Output:

Whatever one may say, but the price nowadays means a lot. And if the products are similar in characteristics, but different in price, many will choose the cheaper option.

1st place - Timberk TIH R5 5M

 The best manufacturers always dream of being at the top of any of the rankings. This time Timberk TIH R5 5M was lucky. As befits a winner, he has absorbed all the best that was in the previous models. Therefore, it is probably not worth talking about this much. However, what is really worthwhile is to tell about how he is fundamentally different from his “comrades”.

So, for example, R5 5M can work continuously and without harming itself and others, 24 hours. And also the cannon can be turned vertically so that it hits the air upwards.

Benefits:

Disadvantages:

Output:

It's hard to find the best among equals, but ratings are for that and ratings are for doing it. This time Timberk prevailed. And in our opinion, deservedly so.

Today's market abounds in various types of guns: there are popular models and less well-known, but no less quality ones. It just so happens that a ringing brand does not mean that it has the best devices. But on the other hand, there is more demand from it in the event of a breakdown. Do you agree with the rating?
