An electric wall heat system works by drawing room air across an internal electric heating element and circulating the warmed air back into the space (or radiating gentle surface heat).

Trades: Commercial Painting and Wallcovering, Electric Wall and Radiant Heat Systems How Electric Wall Heaters Work • Convection / Fan-Forced Systems: A built-in fan pulls cool room air into the unit, passes it over a resistance heating element (such as a nichrome coil or metal-sheathed element), and expels the heated air back into the room. • Radiant / Panel Systems: Wall-mounted panels (like mica or low-wattage radiant panels) heat the objects and people directly in front of them or emit steady thermal waves off the wall surface. • Thermostat Control: Units are managed either by a dial/digital thermostat on the chassis or a remote wall-mounted thermostat that cycles the power on and off to maintain your target temperature. • Safety Features: Built-in high-limit thermal switches automatically shut the unit off if it senses dangerous overheating.
