KING PAW2422-W PAW Pic-A-Watt Electric Wall Heater, 2250W / 240V, White

I recently adopted two kittens and they are kept in our spacious guest room when we are at work, however this particular room in the house is above the garage and gets very cold. I was leaving the cetral hot air thermostat on 63* during the day and night to keep them warm but this was using massive amounts of oil up. I decided to find an acceptable solution for heating that one room independently and this product won my personal contest.I was looking for the following:1) saftey, electric space heaters are notorious for burning down homes, and buring little paws and hands when they are touched.This is quite possibly the safest electric heater on the market, and also the highest quality heater of this type (in wall) the lower wattage I have it running at (750) does not heat the grill up enough for any kind of burn to occur.2) low wattage and amperage.I did not want to tax the older 14 guage copper wiring, and this unit can operate at 250,500,750,1000,1250, and 1500 watts depending on what elements you connect inside of it, I found 750 to be perfect to maintain 65* in the room 12x14 with 8 foot ceilings and 5 casement windows.3) low noise. Don't want to disturb the kittens or guests sleeping.This unit operates quieter than the vents for my central forced hot air due to the squirrel cage style blower, much quieter than competing brands with conventional bladed fans.The install was quite simple, if you can install an old work electrical box and wire a light fixture or an outlet you can install this unit following the very short and sparse instructions. I used a LUX ELV4 programmable line voltage thermostat to control it, which works great by the way.The unit will not win any beauty contest, but it looks the same as any other product of its type on the market, and King does have decorative grills for sale if you wish to purchase.I am 100% satisfied with this heater and would highly reccomend it over the often recalled Cadet in wall heaters or very noisy broan units. It is well worth the premium price for the saftey of your home, pets, and family.

I used this heater in a 250 sq ft bedroom located in an addition with a crawlspace under the floor. It’s been in the mid 20s at night and the mid 30s during the day and so far even though I have it set to only 1000 watts it does a great job of keeping the room at temperature. I have it paired with a Mysa smart thermostat for line voltage and together they will maintain the room temperature at my desired set point. I’ve had it set to 74 degrees and it’ll stay within a degree of that temperature all day. The Mysa allows me to see my energy use and it looks like for these temps I’m using about 500 watts an hour or 1/3 of the rated output of the heater. I imagine it will need to be in the single digits and windy for the heater to max out. I did remodel the room and spray foamed the walls and ceiling so my insulation is tighter then most. My walls and floor are r18 and my ceiling is r24 if that helps people decide. The squirrel cage fan isn’t whisper quiet but it’s no louder than a desk fan on low. Installation is easy enough. Three wires and the enclosure can be nailed/screwed to the wall framing with holes on all sides.

These heaters are great when you were finishing a basement and doing new construction. We placed these in the spare bedroom and our theater room in the basement. They easily will heat a room and are perfect for our application which is just to take the chill outta the air. If you have a guest staying in your guest bedroom you don’t want them cranking the heat for the whole house right? We bought the 220 V style which any of these will require a thermostat to control them.You can’t beat these for being quiet unobtrusive and the amount of heat they put out.By the way we had an issue with one of the heaters and the thermal cut off coming on too early. Customer service was great and simply shipped us a new one without requiring the replacement unit. Once the units are installed it is easy to change out the fan and heater unit with just a single screw.
