Why the Envi Is the Best Wall Heater for Assisted Living

Live-in caretakers and other personal aides that work in assisted living facilities or have charges of their own have enough on their plate without having to do extra work thinking about heating and cooling.

All the same, the heating infrastructure, whether used in the home in a live-in situation, or in an assisted living facility, is not just a matter of comfort, but of safety.

Whether as a primary space heater or as a supplement to central heating, our Envi electric room heaters are the best wall heaters for assisted living facilities as well as in homes. There are two primary elements of this claim that we will explore more closely here: safety and cost.

Safety Features

First and foremost, Envi wall panel heaters are industry-leaders because of their numerous safety features.

Most importantly, the risk of burns is considerably diminished with our electric wall heaters. This is due to a proprietary operating feature that keeps the surface of our wall mounted electric heaters warm, not hot to the touch.

Whereas other wall heaters and other types of electric space heaters can get so hot to the touch as to cause significant burns if inadvertently brushed or pressed, the surface of our electric wall heaters only gets to about 90?. This makes incidental contact very safe.

This is critical in an assisted living situation, especially one in which there are seniors or those with disabilities present. As we age, reaction time declines considerably, which produces an even greater risk in the presence of space heaters.

For what it’s worth, this doesn’t just make Envi the best wall heater for assisted living situations, but the best in environments in which there are small children and pets present, too.

These are not just the best wall heaters for assisted living facilities because they produce a lower risk of burns, though. They are also superior because of their proprietary Walls-Sens technology.

The U.S. Fire Administration has reported that, as recently as 2021, there were more than 32,000 home fires caused by space heaters. It also concluded that space heaters are the second-leading cause of house fires.

Envi wall panel heaters are equipped with Wall-Sens technology that automatically cuts off power to the unit if it is removed from the wall for any reason. Therefore, unlike other space heaters that can tip over or be knocked over, the integral technology of our Envi heaters makes them superior on a basis of safety because they produce a lower risk of fire.

We could also consider on this same note that since our Envi heaters use double-stack convection heating technology that does not involve any moving parts, this further improves safety.

This is especially true if they are installed in assisted living situations in which the patient has asthma or other respiratory sensitivities. Because there are no moving parts in our heaters, they do not circulate allergens that can aggravate these conditions, like other space heaters do.

And, though it does not necessarily affect safety, because these space heaters have no moving parts, they are entirely silent, which makes them better for light sleepers as well, if they are to be installed in bedrooms.

Overall Economy and Efficiency

The other element of our Envi models that makes them the best wall heaters for assisted living is that they offer considerable power and efficiency, delivering greater overall economy.

Overall efficiency and operating cost depends on the model in question, but with many of our Envi heaters, they can be operated for as little as 8 to 10 cents per hour, making them among the most economical of all electric space heaters on the market; not just among wall panel heaters.

We offer these wall panel heaters in several wattage ratings, and some of them are able to heat fairly large rooms up to 350 square feet, making them not just affordable to operate, but powerful in addition to their efficiency.

Other Selling Points of Our Wall Panel Heaters for Assisted Living Facilities

While the two greatest selling points of our electric wall panel heaters are likely that they are safe and economical, there are many other value-added features. Among these are that:

• They are American-made in an ISO-9001 facility
