convection heater

Circulating warmth device

A convection heater warms air that then circulates naturally through a space—hot air rises, cool air flows in to replace it, creating continuous circulation.

Unlike radiant heaters that warm objects directly, convection heaters heat the air itself: The convection heater slowly warmed the whole room.
