Ceiling Fan with Built-in Heater

No luck here?↓

Can a 110v ceilng fan/heater be modified to run on 220v?

It's been 5 years, you'd have thought............................

Or here?

There you have it. Only took 5 years to find the holy grail of heaters.

I'd start out with the heat close to the floor, myself. What do I know?

What makes you think I did not start out with a floor model heater??????

Because you've been looking for a ceiling fan/heater for over 5 years, that's what.

You have now been given the answer, AGAIN. Go forth and be warm.
Ever buy that SUV here and take it to Spain?

You are wrong, I looked for a ceiling fan/heater 5 years ago. I just thought I would see if anything in that area had changed. I still think it is a good idea for parts of the world that only need a little heat once in a while and it cuts down on clutter.

Fine. Tornado has solved your dilemma.

There is another solution I used just the other day, in Minnesota, and it comes in colors:

You crack me up Lyn!!!

You are right, but even high wattage normal filament lamps use about 95% of the electrical energy to heat them up and about 5 % for light.

As long as they are reflector lamps, it should work with either, except the non-heat lamps will be far, far cheaper....

The heat lamps put out some light as well, I cannot say how much though, obviously less than a normal reflector lamp for the same wattage.

I personally would buy one of those tiny, cast iron wood burners, in the UK they call them boat or barge versions if I remember correctly and put a log on when it is too cold.....looks good and does not need a special fan or even electricity.

A really modern person may even buy one of the new tiny pellets burners for a bit of extra heat....very controllable with built in timer.....

As someone else mentioned, why put in electrical heat (just about the most expensive heat there is) up high.....?

Electric heat is often totally ugly as well.....though we have a British "fireplace" with electrical heater and fan, very cheap in the UK and now available all over Europe, though t probably gets switched on once in two years for heating, usually the lamp for the fire effect is enough....

There is even a "barge" electric version for under $100 in Germany in DIY stores....

Best of luck whatever you decide to do....

You have to check the electricity wiring,mostly for fan/light system it's used.

For high energy heating -it is inadequate,you will need an electrician to arrange special wiring

You could go with something like this, but since heat rises, it's easier to create it at floor level and use a regular ceiling fan to blow the heat back down.

Or nose, ears and feet warmers with or without fan. From above you need reflecting IR or Gaz stuff.

Ignore Lyn, she is just on a rant today. Yes there is an american supplier http://www.fanheatlight.com/Specifications.php I had one in my last home and found it very useful, and effective. I'm sure if you can convince your browser to forget that you are in the US, then you will find a similar item in the UK, Portugal, France, or Spain. I remember seeing them at a design show in Leeds, UK a few years ago. Good luck!

It must be PMS.
