I got the Soleus HGW308 model electrical heater that you could mount to your wall last year. The primary reason why I got this electrical heater is because we moved into a house that does not have central heat and air. It also had absolutely no heat whatsoever anywhere, nothing previously installed.

I have a couple of little kids and as everyone knows space heaters are not good for kids to be around. So when I saw this wall mounted heater I thought it will be perfect. I can install this high enough on the wall that little hands would not be able to reach it. Well sadly that is the only good thing this specific wall mounted electrical heater is good for.

Although my own children did not actually touch the heater and it did look a lot better when compared to any unit sitting on the floor, they also didn’t get warm enough. The heater does not put out enough heat to warm a standard sized room. So I went out and bought a couple of of these wall mounted heaters. One for every child’s room.

I put them on the walls and hoped for the best. Their rooms only got slightly warmer when compared to the rooms without heat in them. Even with the doors closed they needed to curl up inside their blankets and the room felt cold. I don’t believe the room ever reached the set temperature or that the heater ever cut off as it never reached the temperature requested.

So that’s not really Eco friendly, now is it? Obviously, I took both wall heaters back to the store. I got the older version that goes on the floor. Although they are unattractive they do work. Not long after I got central heat inside the home. Now my own home is warm and toasty during the winter time period, with the children snug safe in their beds. I don’t recommend to get low cost wall mount heaters for your house, but rather go for prime quality ones.
