ATC 3KW Over Door Heater & Remote Control

Overdoor heaters are installed about the door to prevent draughts and create a warm air supply for anyone walking through the door. The 3KW door heater is a piece of effective heating equipment as it provides warmth to your entire property. 

3KW over the door heaters have a hand-held remote control for easy access. Users can control the air conditions with the remote control heater.  An Over door heater is installed above the door because it is the best location to provide maximum warmth in a room. The over door heater provides hot air around this location as doorways can let cold air in. 

Most complaints about heating being ineffective rely on the doorways. An over door heater prevents the doorways from letting in cold air because it is installed right on top. In this position, an over door heater regulates the air coming in and going out of the room. Due to its appearance, many people confuse overdoor heaters with air curtains; however, these two are not the same. 

Air curtains are primarily used to provide a high-velocity air stream. Air curtains do have heating capabilities as well. The air stream from the air curtains prevents warmed air from escaping the room through an open door or doorways. When an air curtain has a heater fitted into its system, it's called a warm air curtain. 

Despite the heating quality, not all air curtains are installed for heating purposed, and many are used to keep cool air in a room. For this reason, air curtains should not be interchanged for overdoor heaters. Overdoor heaters work in two ways. 

Overdoor heaters are specially designed to provide hot air to a room, and these overdoor heaters also prevent hot air from escaping the room through an open door or doorways. However, there are important things you must consider to ensure the maximum use of your overdoor heater. If the overdoor heater is not installed in a strategic location, it will not provide adequate heating. 

Avoid installing overdoor heaters on the ceiling or above open doorways. When you install an overdoor heater on the ceiling, it doesn’t have enough airflow to heat up the entire room. Overdoor heaters on the ceiling also won’t be able to stop the cold air from seeping into the room. Installing electric over door heaters above open doorways is ineffective as the hot air will not stay in the room. Therefore, you must install electric over door heaters in closed-door areas. 

The correct installation of electric over door heaters will help you save money and keep your energy costs down. You must install the 3kw electric over door heaters correctly to get the best possible heating effects. Overdoor heaters ensure a warm environment for people entering or remaining rooms. 

Overdoor heaters provide heating and air curtain capabilities that allow them to do so much more. Overdoor heaters reduce heat losses through the continuous opening of doors, especially in busy areas of the house or commercial properties. 

When overdoor heaters reduce heat loss, you gain high energy savings and safety benefits as well. As mentioned before, overdoor heaters increase your room’s temperate effectively, and with an air curtain component, they provide a warmed area for anyone walking into the room. You can install electric over door heaters at the main entrance of your home, or you can install the electric over heaters in specific rooms. 

With a 3KW over the door heater, it is easy to provide warmth to any room in a household. Apart from residential purposes, you can also install over the door heaters in commercial properties to create a welcoming environment for customers. 

Most over the door heaters have a compact design, which makes them ideal for mounting. Most over the door heaters are designed with curved end panels, which allow easy installation in small spaces. The over the door heaters’ design is also unobtrusive, and it fits into any home’s aesthetic. 

Over the door, heaters provide efficient heating all year round if required, but they are commonly used during winter.

There are two main types of over the door heaters - electric over door heaters and hot water powered over the door heaters. These over the door heaters are available in modular formats, which allows you to install the heater in any desired configuration. 

Modern over door heaters have an efficient design that makes them seamlessly fit into any property, from households to commercial. This design fits modern interiors, so the over door heater does not stick out aesthetically. 

These over door heaters have strong heating capabilities that keep your room heated for a long time. The heater acts as an air barrier preventing cold air from entering the room and hot air from leaving the room. 

Most modern over door heaters are constructed with aluminum. This aluminium covers the body of the over door heaters, and it reduces the weight of the device. The aluminium also reduces the noise level of over door heaters compared to plastic over door heaters. 

Over door heaters come with adjustable air streams so you can customise the air range in your room. Air streams can change to prevent quick heat loss or to keep the heat locked inside the building. You can also use over door heaters for non-heating purposes. 

Many over door heaters come with three different settings: cool, half-heat, and full heat. This makes your heating device stay operating all year round. Over door heaters also come pre-wired with 1m cables for easy installation. The average airflow capability for 3KW over door heaters is 300m3/h, which means you get a steady stream of warm air to keep the room heated for a long time. 

Remote control heaters come with an infrared handheld remote control for easy access. You can find several remote control heaters on the market, and many of the remote control heaters come in compact sizes, so you can install them in your homes. Remote control heaters allow you to switch heat settings from anywhere. 

Many over door heaters also come with timers as this feature gives even more customisation abilities to consumers. The built-in timers in over door heating devices allow you to determine when you want warm air or cold air to from your mounted heating device. The timer function helps save energy because you decide when the heater should stay on or off. 

Over the door heaters also come with brackets and fixtures, which are necessary for over door heater installment. Every door heater model comes with a specific wall bracket for easy mounting. Make sure to ask a qualified electrician to install the wall bracket with the door heaters for safety. 

The door heater fixtures are important as they prevent the heating unit from breaking off or coming loose. Since most over door heaters are bulky, it is important to get the correct fitting brackets to ensure the safety of people and prevent accidents. 

Commercial over door heaters work and look the same are residential over door heaters, but they serve a  different purpose. Commercial over door heaters is crucial to the well-being of businesses because they are the first line of contact between the business and the customers. 

Business owners gravitate towards over door heaters as they create a welcoming environment for their customers. The commercial over door heaters acts as a protective barrier over the entrance to a commercial building or property. Such over door heaters are used in officers, shops, and other commercial properties because their doors are constantly opening and closing.

Commercial over door heaters help regulate the air temperature, and they can be used throughout the year due to multiple temperature settings. You can supply cold air in the summer or warm air in winter for your commercial buildings. 

Many office and commercial buildings have doors that constantly open and close, which results in the influx of cold air in the winter or hot air in the summer into the building. A commercial door heater can prevent these problems and ensure the outdoor and indoor climate separation. However, it is important to remember that over the door heaters don’t provide heating to the entire room, which is not its primary function. 

A commercial door heater only provides heating (or cooling) upon entrance, but you can supplement these heaters with other heating devices in the room. Without an over door heater, your customer will have difficulty adjusting to your property’s indoor climate. 

Commercial over door heaters come in various sizes to accommodate the full length of almost any commercial door. Several commercial remote

Commercial over door heaters operates on the main principle of reducing heat loss. Heat is one of the biggest problems in any heating device. To ensure the efficient heating of a room, it is important to reduce heat loss through room entryways. 

Commercial over door heaters tackles these problems by creating a heat barrier at the entry of any commercial building. When a heated site’s room door opens, the external or outdoor cold air begins flowing through the lower area of the open door while the warm air from the room flows on from the top of the door’s area. This process reduces the comfort level inside the building due to the penetration of the cold outside air.  

When a commercial over door heater is installed, the cold air enters the area above the over door heater and passes over the heating elements in electric-powered heater units. The cold air passes over the heat exchangers in water power heater units. When the cold air passes the heating elements, the hot air mixes with the cold air leaving a warm airflow. 

The fan captures this warm air and is directed into the airflow through a specialised outlet nozzle. This process forms a thermal barrier over the entrance of the building. In this heating process, the operating principle is the heating up of cold air. The key players in this process are the air flow heating elements that covert the cold air into warm air. 

For most UK locations, the ideal wind speed is 2 to 4 metres/second; therefore, you must choose your air barrier accordingly. The air barrier speed should match the standard airspeed to regulate the outdoor climate to the indoor environment. Purchasing a commercial over door heater will ensure that the heating device maximises its efficiency. 

Here are the most common applications of over door heaters.

Air Climate Regulation

As previously mentioned, the most important function of over door heaters is regulating the outdoor climate to the indoor climate of a building. When the indoor climate is regulated efficiently, you save on energy costs because the hot or cold air remains in the building for a long time. 

Properly installed over door heaters help you save up to 80% on energy costs compared to doors without an over door heater. 

Flying Insect and Pest Control

Apart from keeping the air regulated, over the door heaters are also important for providing flying insect and pest control. Some over the door heaters have insect-repelling capabilities that stop insects from entering buildings. 

This type of over the door heating unit is commonly used in commercial properties such as restaurants, hospitals, food processing plants, etc. Over the door heaters stop insects from entering the room because it emits a powerful airflow that acts as barriers for the pests. 

These airflow barriers prevent insects from entering the building. It is important to note that not all over door heaters have this ability, and you must select heating units with a powerful air jet for insect repelling applications. 

Dust, Humidity, And Pollution Control

Just as the over door heaters keep insects outside the buildings, these heaters are also great at keeping out dust, humidity, and pollution. 

The powerful air-jet acts as a protective layer keeping pollution and other dust particles outside the building. This feature is important to ensure the respiratory safety of the building’s occupants. 

When selecting over door heaters, here are some important factors to look out for:

• The height of the unit measured from the floor to the airflow diffuser
• The width of the heater door
• The location of the building or room to determine the amount of protection needed against weather elements. Consider factors such as humidity, wind, and temperature. 
• If the structure has several doors in the same or different areas. 
• The pressure difference between the outside and inside of the property.

These criteria will help you find the best over door heater for your building. 

No. The WEL3000 is rated IP20, which offers no protection against water, so it should only be installed in dry indoor locations such as shop entrances, lobbies, offices and porches. It should not be fitted in a bathroom, shower room or anywhere it could be exposed to rain or splashing. For wet areas, choose a heater with a suitable IP rating and check the manufacturer's instructions.

At full power the heater draws roughly 13A on a 230V supply (3000W divided by 230V). It should be supplied from a dedicated, suitably rated circuit with appropriate protection and a means of isolation, sized by the installing electrician to suit cable length and installation method. Check the manufacturer's instructions for any specific requirements, and make sure the installation complies with current wiring regulations.

Yes. As well as the infrared handheld remote, the heater has a volt-free contact that allows it to be switched by an external device such as a time clock, door contact or sensor. This is useful in shops and offices where you want the heater to run only during opening hours or while the door is open. Refer to the manufacturer's wiring diagram before connecting any external controls.

There are three operating settings: cool, which runs the fan only, half heat at 1.5kW and full heat at 3kW. The fan-only mode can be used to move air in warmer weather, while half heat suits milder days and helps limit running costs. All settings can be selected from the supplied remote. Check the manufacturer's instructions for recommended mounting height and positioning above the doorway.
