10 Best Electric Wall Heaters to Create a Warm Ambience in Your Home (Fall 2022)

A compact wall heater by Stiebel Eltron, CKT 15E suits every modern home decor. It easily blends into the décor, and you won’t even know it is there. It has a heating capacity power of 1,500W and a heating output of 5118 BTU/hr, which is more than enough to heat up an average-sized room of 214 square feet. The model has a galvanized steel squirrel cage type blower that runs quietly at 49.7 dB(a), so you will sleep through the night without any disturbance.

One of the heater’s best features is the frost protection setting, which maintains the lowest thermostat setting above the room’s freezing temperature. Another feature – the booster timer – generates heat for around 60 minutes continuously. When the timer goes off, the model returns to its frost protection setting to maintain a comfortable temperature for you to sleep.

The heater also has a built-in thermostat that maintains the temperature between 41 to 86 degrees Fahrenheit. CKT 15E works the best if it is mounted in a bathroom, hall, playrooms, motor homes, home office, and the guest bedroom. It is safe to use in the US and Canada as it has received CSA and UL safety standard certifications. You will receive three-year warranty against manufacturing defects and materials under normal use.
