📝 Before you book — checklist
- Confirm 240V supply. A standard mains socket on the room or zone you need heated.
- Confirm a 13A socket. The unit uses a standard 13A plug; if you’re unsure about the socket or circuit, ask us before hire.
- Room size. Suitable for small to mid-size enclosed work areas, depending on heat loss and site conditions; larger rooms may need multiple units or higher output.
- Heat loss. Open doors, single glazing and poor insulation reduce effective output.
- Keep away from water. No standing water, splash zones or wet floors.
- Clear of combustible materials. Keep fabrics, dust sheets, paper and paint away from the unit.
- Access & parking. Confirm load-in and delivery access on site.
- Hire duration. Hire duration depends on job size, temperature target, heat loss and site conditions.
- Delivery / collection timing. Match to your site rhythm and access windows.
- Number of heaters needed. Plan for the area, ceiling height and heat loss.
- Dehumidifier or air mover pairing? For damp or drying jobs, plan moisture removal too.
- 110V site requirement? If the site specifies 110V equipment, choose the 110V Fan Heater 3kW 32A instead.
🛡️ Safety checklist
- ✓Keep away from standing water. No use in wet zones or near splashes.
- ✓Clear of combustibles. Fabrics, paper, dust sheets, paint tins — keep them away.
- ✓Do not cover the heater. Allow airflow around and through the unit.
- ✓No hazardous atmospheres. Not for flammable vapours, explosive or dust-laden environments.
- ✓Use the correct 240V source. A suitable mains socket and circuit rated for the load.
- ✓Avoid overloaded extensions. Use the right cable and rating.
- ✓Supervise use as required. Switch off when the area is unattended.
- ✓Allow airflow around the unit. Don’t pen it into tight corners.
- ✓Follow hire instructions. Confirm suitability for your job before hire.
🚫 Common mistakes to avoid
- Using a heater instead of a dehumidifier for moisture removal.Heaters warm air; dehumidifiers extract airborne moisture.
- Trying to dry standing water with a heater.Remove water with a wet & dry vacuum first — then heat and ventilate.
- Placing the heater too close to materials.Fabrics, dust sheets and paint are fire risks if too close.
- Blocking the airflow path.Air must move into and out of the unit and around the space.
- Using the wrong 240V / 110V / 3-phase setup.This is a 240V single-phase 13A plug-in unit — confirm the site supply first.
- Expecting guaranteed drying times.Drying depends on the material, humidity, ventilation and area.
- Using in wet or hazardous areas.Different equipment, different controls, different process.
- Using a 3kW heater in a large warehouse.Step up to the 15kW 3-phase Industrial Heater for medium-to-large enclosed spaces.

What is a 240V fan heater used for?
Temporary heating support in enclosed work areas with a standard 240V mains supply — workshops, garages, commercial rooms, site cabins and refurbishment spaces. It runs from a 13A socket with no transformer required.
Is this a 3kW electric fan heater?
Yes. The unit is a 3kW forced-fan electric heater with an adjustable thermostat and over-temperature protection.
Is it a Broughton fan heater?
Yes — a Broughton industrial 240V fan heater, UK built for repeated trade and site use.
What power supply does it need, and is it 240V?
Yes — 240V single phase via a standard 13A plug, into a normal mains socket on the room or zone you need heated. It does not use a 110V transformer or a 32A commando outlet. For 110V site supplies, use the 110V Fan Heater 3kW 32A instead.
Do I need a transformer?
No. A standard 240V mains socket is enough. A site transformer is only needed if you are using 110V site equipment instead.
Is it suitable for workshops and garages?
Yes, where a standard 240V mains supply is available and the space is appropriate for a 3kW fan heater.
Is it suitable for commercial rooms or offices?
Yes, where the room has a suitable 240V socket. Most commercial spaces use standard 13A outlets, so this fan heater is a natural fit for temporary office or commercial heating.
Is it suitable for construction sites?
Only where 240V mains is available. Many construction sites require 110V site equipment — in that case use the 110V Fan Heater 3kW 32A.
How is it different from the 110V Fan Heater 3kW 32A?
The 110V Fan Heater 3kW 32A is a reduced-voltage site heater that uses a 32A commando plug and a 110V site transformer. This Broughton heater is a 240V single-phase plug-in unit for workshops, garages and commercial rooms with a standard 13A mains socket.
How is it different from the 15kW Industrial Electric Heater?
The 15kW Industrial Electric Heater is a 3-phase 400/415V unit for medium-to-large warehouses, workshops and site zones. This Broughton 240V fan heater is a smaller 3kW single-phase plug-in unit for workshops, garages and small enclosed work areas.
Is it better than a gas or diesel heater?
Different jobs suit different fuels. Electric heating produces no combustion fumes and no fuel odour and is well-suited to enclosed work areas where combustion heaters aren’t appropriate. Gas and diesel can suit larger ventilated outdoor or industrial setups; we can advise.
Does it produce fumes? Can it help with drying?
No fumes — clean electric heat means no combustion fumes and no fuel odour, useful for indoor and enclosed work areas. It supports drying conditions by warming the air but it does not remove moisture; for damp areas, pair it with a dehumidifier and air movers for best results.
Does it remove moisture from the air?
No. Heaters warm the air; they do not extract moisture. Use a dehumidifier for moisture removal.
Should I use a dehumidifier as well?
Often yes — particularly for damp rooms, post-leak drying or plaster and screed support. Heaters and dehumidifiers work well together when the workflow is right.
Can I use it after a leak or water damage?
Only once standing water has been removed with a wet & dry vacuum. Then a heater plus dehumidifier and air movers can support drying. Larger water damage usually needs a specialist plan.
Can it dry plaster, paint or screed?
It can help speed drying when paired with a dehumidifier and good airflow, but drying times are never guaranteed. They depend on the material, humidity, ventilation and area.
Can I use it near standing water?
No. Keep the heater clear of standing water, splash zones and wet floors. Remove water first with a wet & dry vacuum.
Can I use it outdoors?
This is an indoor-style fan heater. Outdoor or exposed use is not the intended setup; if your situation is borderline, call us and we’ll advise.
Can I leave it unattended?
No. Supervise the unit during operation and switch off when the area is unattended or the work is complete.
Is it safe around flammable materials?
No. Keep clear of fabrics, dust sheets, paper, paint tins and combustible materials. Do not use in flammable vapours or hazardous atmospheres.
How many heaters do I need?
It depends on area, ceiling height and heat loss. Tell us the floor area, ceiling height and how cold the space gets, and we’ll recommend a setup.
Can I collect from Greenford UB6?
Yes. Self-collection from Greenford UB6 is available — the lowest-cost option when you have a suitable vehicle.
Do you deliver in London?
Yes. London delivery is available by booking; call 020 3375 4048 to confirm your postcode and timing.

How do I choose between a heater, dehumidifier and air mover?
Heaters warm the air. Dehumidifiers remove airborne moisture. Air movers push airflow across surfaces. For drying setups, all three often work together — call us and we’ll recommend the right combination for your job.
