1000W Electric Heating for Smaller Rooms

The Vent-Axia 495792 provides 1000W of direct electric heating, making it suitable for smaller domestic rooms and light commercial applications.

The manufacturer recommends the 1kW model for spaces of approximately 10–13 square metres.

As a direct-acting resistance heater, it converts the electrical energy consumed into heat within the room.

The appropriate heater size depends on factors including insulation, ceiling height, glazing, room exposure and desired indoor temperature.

Seven-Day Programmable Heating Controls

The heater incorporates a seven-day electronic programmer, allowing users to organise heating around their weekly routine.

With 12 preset heating profiles, the controls provide flexibility for different occupancy patterns and heating preferences.

The backlit LCD display and top-mounted controls make programme selection and temperature adjustment straightforward.

This is particularly useful in bedrooms, home offices and regularly occupied rooms where heating requirements change throughout the week.

Accurate Electronic Thermostat

The built-in electronic thermostat offers temperature regulation accurate to ±0.2°C

The adjustable temperature range extends from 5°C to 30°C, allowing users to choose a suitable comfort level.

The thermostat automatically manages heating operation to maintain the selected temperature, reducing the need for constant manual adjustment.

Open-Window Detection

The Vent-Axia 495792 includes an energy-saving open-window detection function.

When a sudden drop in room temperature is detected, the control system responds to help avoid unnecessary heating.

This feature supports more economical operation when windows or doors are opened for ventilation.

Frost Protection Mode

A dedicated 5°C frost protection setting helps maintain a minimum room temperature during colder periods.

This can be useful in rooms that are not continuously occupied, such as spare bedrooms, home offices and occasional-use spaces.

Frost protection is a heating control feature and does not replace appropriate building or pipework frost-protection measures.

IP24 Splash-Resistant Construction

The heater carries an IP24 ingress protection rating.

This provides protection against solid objects greater than 12.5mm and splashing water, making the unit suitable for certain bathroom and wet-area installations.

The correct installation location must be determined in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and applicable bathroom electrical zoning requirements.

Silent Heating Operation

The Vent-Axia Lot 20 panel heater operates without a fan, allowing it to heat the room without the continuous noise associated with fan-assisted heaters.

This makes it particularly suitable for bedrooms, home offices, studies and other spaces where low-noise heating is desirable.

Integrated Safety Features

The heater includes a child safety lock to help prevent unintended changes to the settings.

It also features an overheat thermal cut-out, providing protection if the heater becomes excessively hot, including situations where the outlet grille is accidentally obstructed.

The heater must still be installed with the manufacturer's required clearances and must never be deliberately covered.

Suitable Applications

• Bedrooms and guest bedrooms

• Home offices and studies

• Small living rooms

• Bathrooms, subject to installation requirements

• Utility rooms

• Residential apartments

• Student accommodation
