A fan heater, also called a blow heater, is a heater that works by using a fan to pass air over a heat source (e.g. a heating element).^[1] This heats up the air, which then leaves the heater, warming up the surrounding room. They can heat an enclosed space such as a room faster than a heater without a fan,^[2] but like any fan, create a degree of noise.
