Spot Heating Done Right: Choosing the Best Radiant Heater for Your Space

When winter hits and you need targeted warmth fast, spot heating is your best friend—especially in industrial or semi-enclosed environments where heating the entire space is impractical or wasteful.

At Fanmaster, we specialise in industrial heating solutions that make a real difference. Let’s look at how radiant heaters—in diesel, LPG, or electric form—offer the most effective spot heating, and which one is right for your needs.

What Is Spot Heating?

Spot heating is the practice of heating a specific area or person, rather than the entire space. It’s perfect for:

• Warehouses with open roller doors

• Outdoor workstations or pop-up stalls

• Garages, sheds, and workshops

• Site offices and small indoor areas

Instead of warming the air, radiant heaters warm people and surfaces directly using infrared heat—just like the sun.

Why Radiant Heaters Are Ideal

Unlike traditional convection heaters that rely on blowing hot air, radiant heaters deliver instant, targeted heat. That makes them ideal for spaces where air movement is limited or where heat would otherwise be lost.

Which Radiant Heater Should You Choose?

🔥 Diesel Radiant Heaters

Best for: Large, open industrial areas

• High heat output

• Long run times

• Ideal for construction sites, workshops, and warehouses

• Requires ventilation (emits fumes)

🔥 LPG Radiant Heaters

Best for: Portable, flexible use

• Fires up instantly

• Lightweight and easy to move

• Great for outdoor work, temporary stalls

• Also needs ventilation

🔌 Electric Radiant Heaters

Best for: Small indoor spaces

• Plug-and-play with 10A or 15A power

• No fumes, no fuel

• Ideal for offices, desks, and retail counters
