The TPI Corporation HF686TC fan forced portable heater is a 680 series heater that has a forced air fan that distributes and circulates heat through a room, providing temperature rise to 75 degrees F. The steel housing is powder-coated for resistance to corrosion and has a handle for portability, as well as a swivel base for mounting to a wall, floor, or ceiling. The finned tubular steel heating element helps draw air flow and discharge heat, and the fan moves air at 262 cubic feet per minute, with an air throw distance of 10’. The heater includes a thermostat for adjustable temperature control from 35 to 85 degrees F, as well as an internal manual reset thermal cutout switch for overheat protection. The single-phase wiring operates on either a 240V circuit at 5.6kW, or a 208V circuit at 4.2kW. The unit weighs 20 lb., includes a 6’ power cord with a molded NEMA plug, and is compliant to standards for use in the United States and Canada by United Laboratories (UL). Electric heaters generate warmth through a central heating element that is housed in a reflective enclosure that concentrates the energy produced. An element made of a combination of metals produces heat or infrared energy by the electrical resistance created when an electric current passes through it. Fan-forced heaters pass air over the heating element to expel heat from the enclosure for greater throw and circulation. Radiant heaters do not use a fan, but warm nearby objects through energy transfer. A heater’s voltage and wiring should be matched to the electrical circuit where it is to be used. Heaters are used in a range of commercial applications that include shop floors, construction sites, and industrial buildings. All local electrical codes should be followed when installing permanent mounted electric heating equipment. TPI Corporation manufactures industrial and commercial electrical heaters, process heat ovens, ventilation products and fans, lighting equipment, and thermostatic controls. The company, founded in 1950, is headquartered in Johnson City, TN.

High quality!

I heat my 24' x 24' 2 stall garage with 1 of these 220volt heaters. Its safe and works very well. When it is -10 to -30 degrees F, I put a commercial fan in front of the heater & set both on the floor. Keeps my garage a comfortable 67 degrees at the half setting. I have been using this heater for 10 years without issue. I only wish the company could make a unit with a more forceful fan for extreme cold. When working on missile sites our 2.5 ton tool truck used these to keep inside warm. We pluged into missile site power and kept heater on 24/7 for 28 days.

TPI Professional Qualty!

I've been familiar with TPI Corp and their quality designed and built heaters. This is no exception! Item comes boxed well with a molded 240v plug. I purchased the 5600 watt model and am using it to keep my garage above freezing during the winter. This heater kicks out the heat! But also be prepared that it consumes nearly 6000 watts of electric when it is running. There is no dual heat mode, it's just straight on/off. So while it's running depending on your electric rate it may not be for you. But it will throw out the heat and the noise level is low as the fan's RPM's aren't exceptionally fast. Only thing that stopped me from making this 5-stars is I don't like the operation of the built-in thermostat as it doesn't seem to go lower than 45 or 50 deg before it will kick off. I simply wanted to keep my garage above freezing during the winter months. With the built-in thermostat at the lowest level, it keeps running up to 50 degrees or above. So this didn't actually work with what I had planned in that the thermostat is basically useless as I end up letting this heater run about an hour during the night which does keep it above freezing, even during this harsh 2014 winter with single digit temps.

Good heater for 500ft space.

I use this in a 550ftsq garage with r13 wall and r19 ceiling insulation. It does a nice job warming it up but it's not going to cook you by any means. I think if you turned it up towards the highest setting and let it go for a long time it would feel like t shirt weather (70 degrees) with 40degree outside temps - but all in all it does what I want it to do. 4 stars just because I feel like it could be a bit more powerful. Some reviewers claimed to heat much larger spaces well but I don't know based on my experience. Does work well but if I had a bigger space I'd get a bigger heater. I guess it depends on how hot you want it. I lift weights so 60's works for me in and it can do it in freezing temps but takes 30min to get there.

Best Christmas present!

Oh my gosh, I am the best wife ever this Christmas! I had suggested a garage heater as a possible idea for my husbands garage and he informed me the only heater that would work was a Mitsubishi high dollar heater costing too much. After researching tons of different garage heaters I settled on this one due to the reviews. Hubby has a 30 by 35 garage that is insulated but still COLD in the winter! This little heater boosts the temp up to comfort for the entire garage! One of the negatives in other reviews was that it doesn't have a temp gauge. It has a knob you can turn up or down but no idea what temp it is set at. He just turned on the heater and checked and adjusted the knob until the temp gauge in his truck read 68 and marked that on the knob as the temp setting with a permanent marker. It is also very quiet, important since he also watches TV in his hideout! He is declaring this the best Christmas present he has ever gotten. Great product and great price!

Not what I expected

I really expected this heater to throw out enough warmth to heat my garage. It just didn't measure up. The air coming out of the heater didn't feel all that warm, and the fan/blower didn't push it out very well. And yes, I knew the cord length when I made the purchase, but it would have helped to have a longer cord so the heater could be located closer to where it was needed. I will say that the customer service by the distributor that I purchased the heater from was outstanding. They bent over backwards to work with me, but ultimately, the heater just isn't what I needed.

quiet, attractive, portable, unobtrusive

quiet, attractive, portable, unobtrusive. (1) advantage is that it is on a stand, that can sit on the floor and is easily moved, aimed, and repositioned. (2) another advantage is that it comes with a plug in cord instead of hard wired, so you can put it away when not in use. requires a stepped up outlet and breaker so make sure you have the right power supply or ability to convert. Had no problems with intended use of heating a 25' x 15' glassed-in porch from 50s outside to 70s inside degrees.

Good solid built heater

Use this mostly to prevent pipes freezing and sometimes working in a standalone gararge. Puts out good heat and appears to be a well built unit. Only complaint is the thermostatic control. Very hard to set with any accuracy but I just err on the side of more heat (only reason for lack of 5 stars). It's a 30 amp heater but it will pop my 40 amp breakers after running a couple of hours. This is probably my problem, not the heaters since I think it would happen much sooner if the heater was drawing that much current.

Broken

Out of the box, the thermostat does not work at all. As soon as you plus it in, it runs, only way to turn it off is to unplug it. Update, not sure why, but it started working properly today?
