Thinking About Buying a 240V Electric Space Heater? Here’s What You Need to Know
As winter sets in, staying warm at your workstation or in small rooms becomes essential—especially in commercial, site, and industrial settings where large-scale heating isn’t practical. In this blog and video, Shane from Fanmaster Australia breaks down what you can expect from our 240V electric space heaters, where they work best, and which model is right for you.
What Are Electric Space Heaters?
Electric space heaters are designed to provide targeted, personal warmth in compact environments. They’re not built for heating large areas like a warehouse—instead, they’re perfect for desks, site sheds, small workshops, garages, and offices.

Important: These are spot heaters, not full-room or warehouse heating solutions. If you need to heat larger commercial spaces, check out our Industrial Heaters, available in electric, diesel, and LPG formats.
