Best Wall Mounted Electric Heater

The Heat Storm HS 1500 comes loaded with a WiFi application, allowing you to control your electric wall heater from anywhere you have internet.

It’s great for smaller rooms around 150 square feet and will do well in an RV or one-car garage.

The front has a grill that’s safe to touch, even when on. It also comes with a child lock, overheat protection, and tip-over shutoff protection should it get knocked over.

The filter is washable and reusable, making maintenance a breeze.

While most wall-mounted electric heaters only have an analog thermostat, the front LED display is easy to read and use.

It’s also rare to have a unit that has supported WiFi and will make it easy to turn on and off even if you aren’t at home.

Unfortunately, 120v electric wall heaters are not going to be suitable for larger spaces.

Some reviewers also had issues with the electric cord melting, but it seems to be an uncommon malfunction.

As long as you keep your expectations grounded, the Heat Storm HS 1500 is going to be a perfect fit for any 150-square-foot space.

It’s also affordable compared to its 240V counterparts. If you do need a bit more power (for 600 square foot spaces) you can go with the Dr. Heater Garage Commercial Heater instead.

Runner Up Budget Wall Electric Heater

Even on 240v, you don’t have to spend a ton to get an electric wall heater.

The sleek European style of this Stiebel Eltron heater allows you to save on space while keeping the decor of your home in check.

The thermostat knob on the top will give you full control.

You’ll enjoy the louvers on the bottom that spread the heat evenly throughout your home.

This electric wall heater differs from infrared heaters, as it relies on down draft heating, bringing in cold air from the top and releasing it as hot air on the bottom.

If you have a small room, you can use this as a standalone unit. Although, it can heat up to 300 square feet if the room is well insulated.

You can also utilize the frost protection setting to prevent any pipes from bursting when it gets super cold outside.

If it’s a bit chilly, you can opt to utilize the booster timer which will work extra hard to heat your room for an hour, then revert to the thermostat setting.

One downside of this unit is that it doesn’t work on 120v, so you will need to hardwire it to your electrical system.

Overall, this space and money-saving electric heater is a great choice and will do well for larger spaces of around 300 square feet.

If you’re ok with it being a bit on the louder side, then you should look into this budget option.

Best Wall Mounted Electric Fireplace Heater

If you’re looking for an aesthetic recessed electric fireplace heater that’ll tie up your living room, this is it.

What’s cool is you can decide on the length of the unit from 30″ to 68″, making it customizable for any sized room.

It’s easy to install and is super thin, just make sure that you double-check the length before you cut any holes in the wall.

It comes with remote control, giving you full control from anywhere in the room. You can also adjust the brightness of the flames.

You’ll be able to choose from 12 different flame colors to customize the look and feel of your room.

Sadly, this unit is only able to work on 1500W, which won’t be able to heat very large rooms.

You can however use it as supplemental heat which it will do great for that.

Even though the heat output is not as great as a propane or 240v electric wall heater, this wall-mounted electric fireplace heater is stunning visually.

I haven’t found one other wall heater that could even come close to how impressive the display is, and you can get it in any size you’d like from 30 to 68″.

I would however say that if you want a TRUE heater, then you should look elsewhere. This heater is impressive to look at, but isn’t going to do much for a garage in the dead of winter.

For that, I recommend the Dr. Heater Garage Commercial Heater.

Best Electric Wall Heater for Garage

If you have no space in your garage and want to heat the entire workshop without any issue, this hangable wall heater is going to do you well.

It can operate on 3000 or 6000W, allowing for up to 750 square feet of coverage.

You can hang it on the ceiling or your wall, however, you like.

The adjustable thermostat also allows you to decide what temperature you’d like your wall heater to operate on.

Adjustable louvers also give you flexibility in where the heat output is going. This makes it a better choice over other wall heaters that rely on infrared heating rather than forced air.

One downside of this unit compared to other electric wall heaters is that you’ll need to hardwire it to your electrical system, driving up the cost.

It also isn’t silent, so you’ll have to deal with a little hum coming from the fan.

What I do like though is that it has enough power for large workshops, making it the proper choice to stay warm this winter if you want to heat a large area.

Overall, if you have a poorly insulated garage and want to stay warm this winter, you shouldn’t have a problem compared to other 120v electric heaters.

Best Electric Wall Heater for Large Room

Large rooms require more heating power than most electric heaters can offer.

That’s where the Cadet Com-Pak comes in. With 4000 watts, it’s perfectly capable of heating rooms up to 500 square feet. That’s almost triple as much as most wall heaters are capable of outputting.

It’s easy to install, only needing two screws for installation.

The front lets you control the built-in thermostat to your desire.

I like that it installs into your wall rather than being hung, which allows for it to disappear.

You also get the benefit of safety features like overheat protection which will turn the unit off if it gets too hot.

With it being unobtrusive and able to pump out large amounts of heat, it blows 120v units out of the water.

The biggest downside is that you’ll need to hire an electrician to wire this heater as it’s 240v, but the price is going to be well worth it if you’re in a larger-sized room.

While it does cost a bit more than a 120v wall-mounted heater, you’ll be able to enjoy the greater heat output (almost 3x the capabilities).

With it not taking up too much space, being able to heat up to 500 square feet is surely impressive.

The remote control will give you control while the LED displays lets you know from a distance if your patio heater is running or not.

If you don’t like any background noise, this outdoor infrared heater doesn’t utilize any fans which won’t generate any noise compared to other forced fan heaters on this list.

It’s also a great way to keep out reach of kids or pets if you have them running around.

You’ll have a 24-hour timer and can choose between 500, 1000, and 1500W depending on how hot you want this heater to go.

This heater is water and dust-resistant, making it stand up to the seasons over the year.

Sadly, this heater won’t be great for larger spaces as it’s limited by its 1500W capabilities.

As long as you’re using this heater as supplemental heat and aren’t expecting it to heat a giant patio, it’s going to do you well this winter.
